Business Cost Reduction Resources

Your Biggest Bills
Have Better Rates.

Waste is one of the largest controllable operating costs for any commercial business — and it's what we do. But energy and insurance are two more areas where most operators are quietly overpaying, often by thousands per year, simply because they've never shopped the rate. We handle the waste. These resources handle the rest.

Electricity & Gas — You Don't Have to Pay the Default Rate

In deregulated states, your business can shop competing supplier rates. Most commercial operators don't know this — and most are overpaying because of it. Your utility still delivers the power. You simply stop paying their default rate.

Available in 30+ U.S. States

Stop Paying the Default Utility Rate

More than 30 states have deregulated their commercial energy markets. That means businesses can choose their electricity and gas supplier — the same way you'd shop any contracted service. Most commercial operators in eligible states are still on default pricing, often significantly higher than what's available through brokers with access to 60+ competing suppliers.

  • No service interruptions — your utility still delivers the energy
  • No switching fees of any kind
  • Lock in fixed rates for 12–36 months for budget certainty
  • Works for electricity, natural gas, or both
  • Just need your utility account number to get started

  • Commercial office buildings and multi-tenant properties

Common Questions

Straight Answers on Energy & Insurance

For operators who haven't been through this process before.

Can my business really shop its electricity rate?

Yes — if you're in one of the 30+ states with deregulated commercial energy markets. Your business can choose its electricity and gas supplier rather than paying the default utility rate. Your service and delivery never change. Only the supplier and rate do.

How much can a business actually save on energy?

Commercial businesses in deregulated markets typically save 10–30% off their default utility rate by shopping competing suppliers. Even a 10% reduction on a $3,000/month energy bill saves $3,600 per year. The quote is free and takes under ten minutes.

What happens to my service if I switch energy suppliers?

Nothing changes about your service. The same utility that currently delivers your power continues to do so. You're only changing who you purchase the energy commodity from — not who runs the lines or responds to outages. No switching fees, no service interruptions.

How often should a business shop its insurance rates?

Every two to three years at minimum, and any time your business changes significantly — new employees, new locations, new equipment, or new services. Most operators auto-renew for years without realizing rates have shifted or that their coverage no longer reflects the business they're running.
