I'd be happy to (do something)

Use this phrase to politely offer to do something.

For example, you can say this to someone who's visiting your company from another country:

I'd be happy to show you around, if you'd like.

You can also offer to do something with "I'll be happy to ___". This version is more appropriate after "if":

If this one doesn't work for you, I'll be happy to bring you a new one.
