Somo has just added Mobil Fuel to our partner firms, and we can offer small business great discounts on fuel.
We’ve also partnered with a range of communications and tech suppliers to bring you a range of products you can purchase at great prices. We offer everything from mobile phones & accessories, laptops and tablets, to security equipment, and a host of other practical business tools.
But we are just getting going, over the next few months, we will bring many more exclusive offers to the franchise sector.
We’d love the chance to meet you at conference and give you some insights on what we can do for you and your franchisees.
