INTRODUCTION TO UTILITY SITE SETUP
Our utility site setup service has developed in response to many companies that are in a growth mode and have particular needs. In our Utility Site Setup Service, we completely manage the process of the ordering and installation of all utilities, including garbage and telephony, if desired.
This is not merely a "turn on/turn off" or account transfer service, but a service whereby we take full responsibility for managing all parties to ensure the on-time implementation of all services. In our utility site setup service this means with the correct rates, and with an absolute minimum of deposits.
Utility Site Setup Questions:
When you open a new location, are there sometimes snafus that threaten to have the location not be able to open on time? Are you confident that you’re on the correct rate? Are you sure that you’ve not paid more in deposits than you are required to? Have you possibly paid for an item or service that the developer should have paid for?
We’ve assisted with over 1500 new locations and 1000 retrofits in 4 countries, and our clients never have to worry about the answers to these questions.
Utility Site Setup Benefits
Let us use our established network of utility relationships and vast experience to make sure your new locations are opened properly by:
- Managing and coordinating all involved parties (including the landlord)
- Ensuring that all required store utilities are ordered and installed correctly and on time
- Identifying and negotiating financial incentives - including utility rebates, deposit waivers, municipal funds, tax exemptions, and economic development funds.
- Handling the entire deposit process, negotiating to waive or lower deposits wherever possible.
- Making sure bills are sent to the correct address from the onset, preventing late fee, confusion, and shutoff notices.
- Ensuring our client pays only for appropriate services, and not allowing our client to be charged for items whose cost should be borne by the Developer.
We also handle the closing of stores by:
- Contacting each utility to end service
- Verifying that closing is completed as requested
- Ensuring that original deposits are credited or refunded
We also offer utility audit and tariff analysis services, utility bill processing services, and utility rate optimization services.
