Reduce IT costs. Simplify systems. Scale with confidence.
Most businesses don't realise how much time and money they're losing through duplicated tools, unused subscriptions, rolled-over contracts and outdated setups. This audit finds it — itemised, with the payback for each fix.
The problem most businesses have
If you're like most SMEs or multi-site businesses, your technology has grown organically over time:
- Too many systems that don't talk to each other
- Paying for tools you don't fully use
- Manual processes that waste hours every week
- No clear visibility of performance or data
- Security and backup risks you're unsure about
The result? Higher costs, slower operations and unnecessary complexity.
A fixed, structured review
The IT Systems & Cost Optimisation Audit quickly uncovers where you're overspending, what can be simplified, where you're exposed to risk, what can be automated and how to scale your systems properly.
Who it's for
- Small businesses that want to know they're not overpaying
- Growing SMEs (roughly £1M–£50M turnover) that feel held back by their systems
- Hospitality groups and multi-site businesses
- Owners and directors who suspect they're overspending on tech
Larger or multi-site estate? We scope a tailored review across sites, suppliers and contracts — see larger organisations.

The outcome
What changes for you
- A clear view of what you're paying for — and what you actually use
- Identified savings that often cover the cost of the audit
- Known risks, ranked and with fixes
- A practical roadmap with no jargon
We're confident enough to guarantee it. If the audit doesn't find at least £500 a year in savings, you get your money back. If things feel more complex, expensive or manual than they should… they probably are.
The badger's promise
Savings found — or your money back.
If our IT systems & cost audit doesn't identify at least £500 of annual savings — in licences, subscriptions, contracts, cloud or hosting costs — we'll refund the audit fee in full. Savings are identified in your written report with the evidence behind each one; you don't have to act on them for the guarantee to apply. Available to organisations with 10 or more staff, one audit per organisation.
Go ahead with the recommended work and, once it's done, the audit fee is credited against your final invoice. No VAT to add — we're not VAT registered, so the price you see is the price you pay.

Other IT companies offer a free audit. Why pay?
A free audit is usually a sales tool — a health check designed to lead to a support contract. Ours is an independent, itemised review of what you spend and what you could stop spending, with the evidence for every saving. It's guaranteed, and there's no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
How long does it take?
After the initial call and review, you'll usually have your report within days.
Do you need access to our systems?
Read-only admin access to key platforms (such as Microsoft 365) makes the review far more accurate. We'll agree exactly what's needed up front and remove access afterwards.
