See your savings
We compare your bill against published sector benchmarks for your business type and region. You get a clear pound figure for what you're overpaying — within 24–48 hours.
We sort the switch (coming)
A human expert handles the negotiation or switch on your behalf — awkward calls, paperwork, renewal date. You sign one form. The saving lands at your next bill.
What you get
A clear pound figure. And a way to claim it.
Exact overpayment, in pounds
"You're paying £2,100/year above benchmark for a farm shop your size." No weasel words. No vague estimates.
A switch script or negotiation letter - (coming in platform upgrade)
Pre-written and ready to send — or we send it for you.
Contract calendar & renewal alerts - (coming in platform upgrade)
Auto-rollovers are how suppliers get away with it. We track every renewal date and alert you six weeks before — the best time to negotiate.
Savings guarantee, in writing
If we don't save you at least £1,500 in your first year, you get every penny of your subscription back. Plain English. No small print.
