49 | Q4 2021 Organise My Bills (OMB) acts as your in-house procurement service so you can invest your time in more profitable activities. Chris Jones, OMB’s Managing Director, explains more about how they help under-pressure business owners get the best deals. “Time is valuable in business. It’s even more valuable when you’re running a business with a small team. As a business owner, I understand. You want your focus to be on activity that’s profitable, that’s going to bring in business. So, when you get a reminder that a Utility, Insurance or Telecoms contract is up for renewal, it’s something else to add to the list, another pressure. Also, it’s not just a one-off task, there are multiple contracts to renew across the year. It might sound like a cliche, but your time really is money. Plus, whose responsibility, is it? • You could do it yourself, but you’re far too busy and it’s not good use of your time • Your PA or admin staff could do it, but if they’re not sure where to search, it could take them a while and they might not get the best deals • You could hire your own procurement manager, but that’s a huge investment for any business. Delegate it to us instead. Organise My Bills: Negotiating the best deals for your business. “I set up OMB to help under-pressure business owners get the best deals for their business contracts, so they can focus on businesscritical activities. We’re a team with more than 100 years of combined experience in professional procurement, based in the West Midlands. We’ve helped thousands of businesses across the UK since 2007”. Some of the services we look after include: • Utilities. • Merchant Services. • Business Telecoms. • Commercial Insurances. • Water. • Mobiles. Organise My Bills How it works: 1. When you sign up, you’ll fill in the renewal dates for the agreed services. We’ll also ask you for a signed letter of authority which allows us to negotiate on your behalf. 2. As they come up for renewal, we’ll contact you in advance to start our process, 6-8 months (gas and electricity) 2-3 months (telecoms). 3. We’ll search the market for the best offers, depending on your current business circumstances. We’ll then send you the best results to choose from and talk through the options. 4. You choose your preferred contract and then we’ll complete the process. This includes terminating any existing contracts and setting up online accounts with new suppliers. 5. You feel confident that you have the best offer, leaving you to focus on more profitable activities for your business. We don’t add commission on top of your quotes, so you can guarantee the best value deals. Instead, you pay us a monthly or annual service fee. If there is a commission from a supplier, we pass that onto you as a direct payment. Ethical practises in an unregulated industry “The procurement industry is unregulated, meaning that anybody could (and can) set up as a broker. In my 20-year career, I’ve come across many client contracts with huge commissions hidden in them costing the business many thousands of unnecessary pounds. Thankfully times have changed, the FCA, Ofgem and Ofcom have tightened up these kinds of practices, but it always left a nasty taste in my mouth as I like to do business in an ethical and fair way. That’s why I strived to get the Trading Standards’ “Buy with Confidence” accreditation and I’m proud that OMB is the first company of its kind to achieve it”. OMB has been: • Vetted and approved by Trading Standards • Monitored for customer service • Audited by a Trading Standards professional • Qualified, insured and reference checked • Given an overall customer rating of 5/5 Organise My Bills Business packages start from £14.99 per month, depending on the size of your business, the services taken and the number of sites.
