For a small business owner or entrepreneur, work and life are inextricably linked.

I know this first hand, having launched two early stage startups, and having led fast growing companies of various sizes for over 20 years.

I am therefore thrilled to let you know that starting today, Nuula is launching a new approach to small business financial services by focusing not only on the needs of the business, but also on the needs of the small business owner.

In partnership with Walnut Insurance, Nuula’s new health and wellness feature offers access to meditation, sleep guides, and mental focus programs through Headspace Plus in addition to online fitness programs through ClassPassDigital. The programs are paired with $10k-$50k of Life Insurance to help give small business owners additional peace of mind. All of this is available for as little as $9/month, and can be activated in less than 2 minutes right from within the Nuula App.

The new offering complements Nuula’s existing portfolio of free small business tools, including financial & sales performance tracking, cash-flow forecasting, personal and business credit monitoring, and the ability to stay on top of customer ratings and reviews … all delivered 7/24/365 in a simple, easy to digest format, right to the palms of your hands.

Nuula’s focus on the entrepreneur’s well-being, in addition to business performance, was driven by insights into how personal stress is affecting small business owners, especially with the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A recent Capital One survey found that 45% of small business owners report that running a business during the pandemic has had a negative impact on their mental well-being, and 42% say they are currently experiencing burnout or have experienced it within the past month.

It’s just another way we’re thinking differently about serving the needs of small businesses, and the entrepreneurs who power them.

Stay tuned … lots more is coming!
