What's a business email? And why do I need one?

Online purchase of ConnectsUs HR for Small Business requires a business email that will become your User login.  It's where we send you an email that includes a one-time registration and password setting link. 

NOTE:  ConnectsUs HR for Consultants does not require a business email or business website

What is a business email?

  • A business email is an email with a unique email extension that is used by your company employees. Unlike JSmith@ hotmail.com  Or JDoe@ Gmail.com
  • For example, if your unique business email extension is @bobo.com, your employees' emails will end with that extension.  Suzie@ bobo.com, Larry.Sims@ bobo.com.
  • Consumer email addresses will not be accepted (for example, @Gmail.com, @Yahoo.com or @Hotmail.com, or any other internet service providers (ISP) generated email addresses, such as Comcast, Shaw, Telus, Bellnet.
  • For faster registration of your subscription, it's also best, but not required that you have a website that matches your business email. For example.  LarrySims@ bobo.com matches the website www.bobo.com.

What if I don't have a business Email?

If you do not have a business email, unfortunately we will not be able to complete your ConnectsUs for Small Business order. 

Why do I need a business email?

  • To protect copyright, ConnectsUs subscriptions can only be licensed to a business with employees that is not in the business of providing HR services.
  • The vast majority of established companies with employees and a need for a ConnectsUs HR subscriptions have a business email and a company website.  
  • Requiring a corporate email is a best practice for most organizations  in our industry. 

Who is not eligible to purchase a ConnectsUs for Small Business subscription?

  • An individual who is not an employee of a company with employees
    • HR Consultants
    • HR Service Providers
    • Employees or consultants employed or affiliated with an HR Service Provider 
      ("CONSULTANTS").

What if I get my friend to purchase it on my behalf? 

In the rare instance when someone asks a friend or relative to purchase a subscription on their behalf using their business email, consider that it's against the ConnectsUs terms & conditions and ConnectsUs license agreement.  It means that you are asking them to place themselves and their company in a compromising position.
