I recently started helping out my family business. One is a retail store, and one is a software store (about 30 employees in total). I was shocked at some of the excessive costs within the org. What are your best techniques for finding excessive costs, and then renegotiating prices or eliminating them? Here are a few example
Phone system- 16k
Internet - 29k
back up internet - 7k
NetSuit license (note two businesses running separate netsuits, and shared licenses) - 50k
Merchants & Fees - 80k
Third party IT services - 30k
search engine expenses - 60k
Office Supplies - 25k
etc.
