X-Forces Enterprise Welcomes Xero as New Corporate Partner to Support Military-Led Small Businesses

X-Forces Enterprise (XFE), the UK’s leading organisation supporting business aspiration in the Armed Forces community, is delighted to welcome global small business platform Xero as a Corporate Partner.

Xero provides easy-to-use, cloud-based accounting software for small businesses, which makes them a perfect partner for XFE and its community of thousands of military-led SMEs.

Xero has underlined its commitment to the Military in Business® community by offering educational resources and discounted access to its software for XFE’s beneficiary businesses. These savings will be incredibly valuable to early-stage small businesses whose owners work hard to keep costs at a minimum in order to achieve positive cashflow as they seek to grow.

Martin Wing, Chief Operating Officer of X-Forces Enterprise commented:

“The addition of Xero to our growing ranks of Corporate Partners underlines XFE’s determination to provide our family of entrepreneurs with all the tools they need in order to start, scale, and sustain their businesses. Xero embodies the ‘blue chip’ approach XFE takes to Corporate Partners – their product is first class, their reputation impeccable, and their renown truly international.”

Kate Hayward, UK Country Manager at Xero said:

“We’re proud to be part of the fantastic work XFE is doing to support those in the military community looking to start a business. Our Veterans Employee Resource Group is committed to advancing Xero’s efforts in supporting defence and the armed forces community. One way we can contribute is by providing training, resources and access to our platform for those starting or growing their business.”

 

In further good news for the Military in Business® community, Xero will share insights and guidance with delegates on XFE’s suite of enterprise training programmes. These workshops run with the support of carefully selected Charity and Corporate partners who believe in XFE’s mission and quality of delivery. They are delivered on a complimentary basis to members of the military community and feature subject matter experts on topics as diverse as cybersecurity, bookkeeping, digital marketing, and more.

Martin Wing continued: “Our beneficiaries attend XFE workshops with the expectation that they will receive high quality information, delivered by experts, for which Xero is a perfect fit.”

This new partnership will benefit not only service leavers and veterans, but also their families, all of whom are eligible for the entire suite of support from XFE.
