SIB Fixed Cost Reduction
Reduce monthly expenses
Expense Reduction Services
Growing businesses depend on outside vendors for a variety of regularly billed services that allow operations to run smoothly. Waste removal, electricity, telecom and internet, treasury, uniforms and laundry, and other services are critical to your business’ success. But costs add up over time, and it can be hard to keep track of contract details, invoice errors, service discrepancies, and other issues across an entire organization, especially if you have multiple facilities and worksites.
98% of our clients pay too much for overhead services
- Your accounts payable team does their best to track costs and meet payment deadlines, but they are not industry experts for each of the spend categories in your overall budget. Many providers increase costs, rates, and counts without notifying you.
No upfront costs
- We can usually cut your costs by as much as 20-40%, with no change to your services or vendors. We do it on a contingency basis, so there is no financial risk for you. You simply agree to pay us a percentage of your savings over a fixed period of time. If we find nothing, you pay nothing.
Bill Pay & Data Management
Preserve liquidity while saving time and money when you work with SIB to process and pay your bills for you.

Worry Free Open and Close Account Management
- We ensure you get the most beneficial rate schedule, uncover applicable rate and service discounts, and verify your first invoice and any credits or refunds due. Our utility experts find the best rates, negotiate deposits and ensure your services are turned on and off according to your schedule.
- If your organization opens and closes locations frequently, you are familiar with the manhours lost to making calls to utility suppliers and long hold times. When you do reach a live person, you don’t always get accurate information or may be sent on a paper chase for required forms.
