Introduction
Overheads creep in quietly especially across utilities. But that £79/month Sky box in the bar? That annual PRS license you forgot to challenge? They add up. This tool helps you see it all at once and decide what stays, what goes, and what gets renegotiated.

3. Hidden Costs We Commonly Spot
- Outdated energy contracts with inflated standing charges
- Double-charged PRS/PPL fees across merged spaces
- Unused phone lines still being billed
- Sky Sports packages no longer needed
Awareness is step one. Action is step two.
4. Who Should Use This Tool
- Pub, café, or restaurant owners
- Hotel or multi-venue operators
- Managers prepping for seasonal trade shifts
- Anyone unsure what they’re actually being charged
Ideal for first-time due diligence or yearly audits.
