Tide, a UK leading business management platform, and Gigs, a leader in embedded connectivity, have announced the launch of Tide Business Phone Number (BPN), a mobile service built for small businesses and fully embedded in the Tide app. This marks the first time a business banking provider has integrated a full mobile plan with UK phone number directly into its platform.
The launch is designed to help Tide’s nearly 800,000 UK members (14% of the small business market) better separate their personal and professional lives. For many founders, running a business still means juggling personal phones, contracts and suppliers alongside their work. Tide BPN removes that friction by giving business owners a simple and affordable way to manage communications separately on a single device, without compromising their privacy or credibility.
Tide BPN is available for free to members on Smart, Pro and Max plans, offering a business number with unlimited calls and texts. Unlike comparable plans, Tide BPN does not impose annual price increases or credit checks and users can cancel at any time in the Tide app.
Heather Cobb, UK Managing Director at Tide, said: “Small business owners tell us time and again that admin gets in the way of doing what they actually set out to do – running and growing their business.”
