A great value proposition... ...it’s completely risk-free for clients to do business with you!
Quite simply, if Expense Reduction Analysts don’t reduce business operating costs in the areas that we target, the client doesn’t pay. We earn 50% of the savings we secure over at least 18 months of savings. And the client adds the other 50% directly to their bottom line. Either way, your services don’t cost your client anything. Your income comes from the savings they achieve.

Our results are so extraordinary, we have completed over 10,000 projects globally and have more than $1.6B in worldwide expenses under review. From convenience store chain to multinational petroleum giant, Expense Reduction Analysts’ expense cutting measures work famously across a broad range of industries. For electronics components distributor Jameco Electronics, the accumulated savings we identified have converted to an increase in profits of over $120,000. After carefully analyzing the purchasing arrangements of an international finance group, we were able to negotiate a $170,000 saving on office supplies and services from existing suppliers without any interruption to business operations.
Over the years, we have developed such a strong reputation that our international client list includes heavyweights like Pizza Hut, Hilton Hotels, Laidlaw, Adidas and Dell... to name but a few.
