Growing operating costs, unstable economic landscapes and the cost of living crisis have many businesses worried about the future of their bottom lines. Procure Smart’s team has been saving businesses money for more than 10 years. We understand that leaders are under more financial pressure than ever. Here are 6 changes to consider making as a business to bring stability and confidence for the future.
1 Renewable solutions
According to The Willow Review, 67% of SMEs that installed kit like solar or sold energy back to the grid cut their day-to-day costs. The review also found that 52% attracted new customers due to their sustainability commitments.
At Procure Smart, we offer a turnkey solution for Renewables. Investing in these solutions is more accessible than ever. Let us support you in your green goals, cost savings and business growth.
2 Business energy contracts
Two in five small-to-medium enterprises fear closure within five years due to energy costs (Source), while heating has become a “luxury” for 50% of SMEs. Businesses often leave their renewal until the last minute because it’s a complicated and time-consuming process. That’s why we created our super-fast and easy switching process to enable you to get back to doing what you do best while our experts handle the cost-saving process for you.
3 Waste removal and recycling services
Changes to business waste requirements came into play in 2025, with more requirements and more costs to firms. Business Waste contracts are notoriously complex, but each complexity provides another opportunity for streamlining and savings. We take these considerations off your plate. Our experts complete a full and thorough review, and could save your business up to 50% on waste management costs.
4 Water services
More than 70% of businesses are still on default tariffs for their water services. Businesses could save between 5% and 30% on their water bills, thanks to deregulation of the market, the employment of advanced procurement methods and a greater level of pro-activity.
5 Card transaction fees
Businesses are frequently overcharged because they agree to flat-rate transaction fees, which look simple, but that simplicity comes at a cost. Flat rates may look appealing at first, but when you dig a little deeper, it’s clear these fees are costing businesses more than they are saving them. A bespoke package of tailored transaction fees could be the answer. Let us help your business today.
6 Telecoms and internet
Every phone line in the UK will become all digitalin 2027, routing calls over IP (Internet Protocol). This crucially means that any remaining services not switched to the new digital network by January 2027 will be lost. Remember, it won’t just be your phone lines impacted. Any services connected to the previous phone network (fax machines, CCTV and alarm/door entry systems) will also be affected. To help businesses like yours, we have created a super-easy process for our experts to gather the necessary information to assess your costs and investigate savings, fast.
