The costs nobody
owns internally.

These are the categories we review. What they have in common: they run in the background, renew automatically, and never make it to the top of anyone's priority list.

Telephony & mobile

Subscriptions, switchboard, broadband and data. Often many small subscriptions nobody has counted since the contract was signed.

Typical saving 10–30%

IT operations & support

Service desk, operations, backup and licence management. The price is usually set at the start and then uplifted every year.

Typical saving 15–25%

Software licences

Microsoft, Adobe, CRM, project tools. Unused seats and overlapping systems are the most common finding.

Typical saving 20–35%

Freight & logistics

Parcels, pallets, express and returns. Price lists are complex and surcharges creep in over time.

Typical saving 10–25%

Insurance

Business, property and liability cover. The premium rarely keeps up when the business changes.

Typical saving 10–20%

Cleaning

Regular cleaning, window cleaning and periodic deep cleans. Almost never put out to competition after the first contract.

Typical saving 15–25%

Energy & electricity

Electricity contracts, grid fees and capacity tariffs. Variable versus fixed is rarely revisited after signing.

Typical saving 10–20%

Vehicles & leasing

Company cars, leasing, fuel and servicing. Residual values and contract terms are often unnegotiated.

Typical saving 10–20%

Alarms & security

Alarm monitoring, patrols and access control. Long contracts with automatic renewal are the rule.

Typical saving 15–25%

Waste & recycling

Bin hire, collection frequency and treatment charges. Companies often pay for collections they don't need.

Typical saving 10–20%

Where is there usually most to find? Software licences and telephony are the categories where we most often find the biggest potential — that's where unused seats and old contracts sit. Have a recurring cost that isn't listed? Get in touch — the list isn't set in stone.

What we don't touch

Never your core business.

We never go into your strategic suppliers, raw material purchasing, or anything that is the business itself. That's yours, and it should stay yours. We take what's around it.
