Business services we compare
Choose a service to compare options, costs and suppliers.
Auto-renewal clauses are the most expensive line in most contracts
Telecoms, IT and HR contracts frequently roll over for another full term unless you give notice in a narrow window. Diary your notice dates now.
Where do businesses overspend most?
In our experience, four categories account for the majority of avoidable cost in a typical SME.
Legacy telecoms contracts
Lines and connectivity signed years ago often cost double current market rates for slower speeds.
Unused software licences
Seats for leavers, duplicate tools and unused tiers quietly accumulate across every department.
Auto-renewed support contracts
IT and HR retainers roll over annually with inflationary uplifts that nobody ever challenges.
Ad hoc compliance spend
Paying per incident for HR or health and safety advice usually costs more than a fixed annual retainer.
How business service contracts work
- Most B2B service contracts run 12 to 36 months with automatic renewal unless you serve notice.
- Notice periods are typically 30 to 90 days before the anniversary date — miss it and you're locked in again.
- Annual price uplifts linked to CPI or RPI plus a margin are standard and compound over a long contract.
- Early termination charges usually equal the remaining contract value, so time your review carefully.
- Bundling services with one supplier can cut cost, but concentrates risk if service quality drops.

Businesses review energy every year and never look at anything else. The services that support your operation are usually where the larger, easier savings sit.

3 quick wins before your next renewal
Simple habits that consistently reduce supplier spend.
Audit your licences quarterly
Remove leavers and duplicate tools. Most businesses find 10–20% of seats unused.
Serve notice early
Giving notice keeps your options open. You can always renew with the same supplier on better terms.
Benchmark before you negotiate
A written competing quote is the fastest route to a discount from your existing provider.
