1. Saving businesses
time and money on
their essential spend
Working in partnership with Intermediaries
We recognise the importance of developing reciprocal
arrangements with those in a position to refer work to us.
Who we are
BCR Associates is one of the most considered Business Cost
Reduction Consultancies in the UK. We work with businesses to stop
waste and overspend by reviewing the areas of essential spend a
business has. We make no charge for our services and 100% of the
savings are retained by our customers* (instead our income stream
comes from our suppliers).
Opportunities to open new markets
We have developed and are focused on developing long term
professional relationships with both clients and intermediaries
across the UK through our unique and value added business model.
In addition, we recognise the importance of developing reciprocal
arrangements with those in a position to refer work to us.
Opportunities for your clients
Simply driving top-line growth is not enough. Your client’s
retained profit is a key element to generating sufficient cash for
organic growth, investment and/or acquisition.
How the cost review process works
1. We will meet with the client to gain an understanding of their
business and establish areas to be reviewed.
2. We tender the supplies, negotiate for best and most suitable
terms and present a report highlighting the savings. Turn
around is usually no longer than a week.
3. We will implement our findings and take responsibility for any
paperwork and supplier transfer work applicable.
4. Going forward and prior to any renewal we will offer a fully
managed service to adhere to the necessary contract
obligations the customer has.

“I refer clients to BCR Associates for a
couple of reasons. Firstly, they give a very
good service and have managed to find
some good cost savings. Secondly, it helps
with my customer care. I believe people do
business with people and any opportunity to
put two people together where they may
benefit is very important. I’ve only received
good feedback from clients who have used
the services of BCR Associates and I believe
that reflects well on my firm.”
