Reducing business costs: Book your free audit today

Wayfarers Arcade on Lord Street in Southport

Southport BID is offering its members the chance to save money with a free, no obligation health check to reduce business costs.  We are acutely aware that it is expensive to run a business, and how much more your cash flow has been impacted by the current crisis.

We are pleased to announce that we are now working in partnership with Meercat Associates, who operate the National BID buying group.

Meercat are specialists in sourcing and managing contracts for individual businesses and are looking to help Southport based businesses. Harnessing collective buying powers, Meercat have an enviable reputation for achieving substantial cost savings in telecoms, merchant fees, stationery & print, utilities, pest control and testing.

Typically, a business saves 34% with average member savings of £622 from other BID case studies.

This is a FREE service to all Southport BID members. There are no additional costs or commissions payable; your BID levy funds this service (along with many other services and projects delivered by Southport BID). The Meercat team does not earn commission from working with BID businesses so the advice they give is impartial.

BID CEO Rachel says of the partnership; “Helping our members to reduce their costs and access better service is important for businesses. The BID is in a unique position to bring businesses together in a partnership approach, which coupled with our collective buying power can deliver real financial benefits to our members, helping to make Southport become a more attractive place to do business.”

A representative from Meercat will contact you soon with further information and will be available to meet businesses keen to reduce costs. You are under no obligation to meet with them, but we would urge businesses to take advantage of the opportunity and book a visit as there is significant evidence that they will be able to help you make substantial savings.

Meercat have limited audit appointment slots available still for the 22nd and 23rd of July, and further availability on the 4th and 5th August

To book an appointment, email savings@meercatassociates.com or call 01444 416 529.

The Meercat team will work with you to review your business costs and present you with a review, illustrating where you may be able to make savings. If you choose to save money by moving to a new supplier, Meercat can work with you to make the switch as simple as possible, managing contracts on your behalf.
