THE PROBLEM

Six contracts. Six renewal dates. Nobody watching.

Your card processor renews on one calendar. Your carrier on another. Energy, insurance, payroll and AP all run on their own clocks, negotiated by different people at different times — some of them no longer at the company.

Nobody is watching all six, because at your size nobody's job is to. That's not bad management. It just means every contract renews on the provider's terms, against a market you have no time to benchmark. That's the job. We take all six, permanently.

WHAT WE COVER

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps, then we stay.

01

Send us the bills

Invoices and contracts for whichever systems you want looked at. Twenty minutes of your time, no commitment, no charge.

02

We run the market against itself

Your terms go out to the field. Providers bid. You get written findings — including the categories where you're already priced well.

03

We manage what follows

Implementation, escalations, and the renewal calendar. The relationship doesn't end at signature — that's when it starts.

WHO YOU ACTUALLY DEAL WITH

One person. Named. Accountable.

Brad handles every engagement personally, reads every enquiry himself, and is the same person on your renewal call two years from now. The national firms in this category are franchise networks — you get a territory, a brand, and whoever is assigned this quarter.

OUR RULES

How we keep ourselves honest.

We're paid by providers, not by you. That model only works if it can't be bought. These are the constraints we hold ourselves to.

We are paid the same amount no matter which provider you choose.

Which means we have no financial reason to prefer one over another. Our recommendation is the one the numbers support, because there is nothing else in it for us. You don't have to take that on trust — it's arithmetic.

You never pay us. Ever.

No retainer, no audit fee, no share of your savings. Providers compensate us out of their own margin — it is not added to your rate, and your pricing is the same as going direct.

No volume bonuses.

No provider pays us extra for steering business their way, and we hold no exclusive agreements that would quietly make one option more attractive to us than another.

“Stay where you are” is a real answer.

Some categories come back priced correctly. We say so, in writing, and often enough that it's a normal outcome rather than a rhetorical device.

The bidding is visible to you.

You see what every provider quoted, not just the one we recommend. If our reasoning doesn't hold up against the numbers, you should be able to tell.
