For overhead services, the right supplier matters more than the cheapest one.
For overhead services, which are low spend relative to your core business costs, you need reliability and experts who just get it - and get on with it!
If suppliers in this sector go wrong, they’ll cost you way more in money, time and stress to fix than any saving you made by going to the cheapest provider.
Trust us, we know.
We’ve spent a huge amount of time and effort working with budget holders and suppliers to negotiate a way forward, to fix things when a contract goes wrong. It is really not worth scrimping on these services.
Yes, you don’t want to pay a fortune but our strategy here is to find expert, reliable suppliers who will deliver. Balancing great service along with a fair price is the best solution for overhead providers.
However, everyone likes to know they’re getting a great deal so we’ve also negotiated a discount up front for most services (5-10% in general) so if you use our suppliers you’ll not only have the peace of mind from our vetting but also get a better rate than going direct.
So for all your overheads (from sales & marketing, IT, HR, finance, professional services, property & FM, utilities and net zero suppliers) our directory has you covered.
Our vetted supplier directory gives you a shortlist of local suppliers who have already been through our full vetting process. Every supplier on the list has been assessed, credit checked, and held to our code of conduct before they get added to the directory.
Glasgow is live now. More regions coming soon.
