ALSO....There’s a hole in the bucket – developing a strategy for your utilities - Marc Wheatley

Marc Wheatley is the UK Affiliate Channel Manager at Full Power Utilities and they are the preferred utilities (gas, electricity, water) supplier for pin and its members. 

As the title of his talk suggests, Marc will be drawing your attention to what is potentially a hole in the bucket that holds your money. Many business owners spend a lot of time and energy generating revenue for themselves, but then forget to manage their costs accordingly. One of these costs (and normally a substantial one), is that of their utilities supply – especially for HMO/Serviced Accommodation operators. 

During Marc’s talk, he will cover several topics, including:

• The importance of having a strategy for managing utility costs.
• How a commercial utility rate can be secured on a domestic use property without VAT implications. 
• How to reduce the associated hassle involved in managing your portfolio’s utilities.
• How to protect yourself from price increases and additional charges.
