Business services
Most SME supplier contracts are signed once and then auto-renew for years. These are the five where re-comparing tends to pay for itself.
Business suppliers price on what they think you will accept, not on a rate card, so the same service genuinely does cost different amounts to different companies. Contract length, notice periods and mid-term price increases matter more than the headline rate, and they are the terms we tell you to check first.
