Your costs went up this year. Your prices mostly couldn't. Billhound finds room in the vendor bills you're already paying: he reviews every line free, comes back the same day with what's negotiable and what it's worth, and if you hire him, his fee comes out of verified savings only. If he wins nothing, your business pays nothing.
No retainer. No card. No obligation.
One agreement per bill. Cancel anytime.
The usual ways out of a margin squeeze are ugly: raise prices and risk customers, cut people, or eat it. There's a fourth option almost nobody uses. The bills you're already paying repeat their padding across every line, every location, and every renewal, and checking them is nobody's actual job. That's recoverable money, and finding it costs nothing.
The contract someone negotiated three years ago quietly renewed itself at "then-current rates." Nobody got a call. The rate you shopped for is gone, and the replacement arrived on page four.
A $7 line item looks harmless until it's on 40 lines, 12 seats, or every location you run. Small enough that nobody escalates it, big enough to matter at scale. That's the design.
Circuits nobody uses. Equipment returned years ago. A service tier from two office moves back. It bills every month because canceling it is nobody's job either.
Business bills are bigger, so the rates scale down. His fee is a percentage of verified savings, set by the size of the total win on that bill. Verified means documented: written vendor confirmation, your updated statement, or both, shared with you before any fee is charged.
A $4,000 per month vendor bill drops to $3,000. That's $1,000 a month, $12,000 verified over twelve months, which lands in his lowest tier. His fee is 30%, $3,600. Your business keeps $8,400 of the first year.
And month thirteen on, every dollar of the lower rate is yours free and clear. He gets paid on the first twelve months of a win, once, not forever.
The fee follows what's verified, not the estimate. If the win comes in smaller, his cut shrinks with it. If the vendor reverses a negotiated reduction inside the first twelve months through no action of yours, the fee tied to the months you didn't receive is credited or refunded. That's in the agreement, not a promise on a web page.
None of this applies until you've seen the free analysis. Step one costs nothing. Send the bill →
Forward the PDF straight from your AP inbox, text a photo, or upload it. Internet and phone, security monitoring, waste, software, service contracts, or a one-time bill that looks bloated. Every page, front and back.
He reads every line and comes back with what stands out and a realistic savings range. Ranges, not promises. If the bill is clean, he says so, and you've spent nothing to find that out. You'll hear back in about 30 seconds that he's on it, and findings follow the same day. No onboarding, no discovery call, no deck.
One agreement and one limited authorization, covering only that bill, e-signed from a phone in about a minute. He negotiates with the vendor as your authorized representative. Nothing about your service changes unless you approve it first.
Billhound negotiates your vendor bills. That's the whole job, and the agreement draws the lines in writing.
He does, as your authorized representative under the one-bill agreement. Your AP contact isn't cc'd into a negotiation. Nothing about your service changes unless you approve it first.
The analysis is free. If you hire him, his fee comes out of verified savings only, per the agreement for that one bill. If he wins nothing, you pay nothing. No retainer, ever.
Yes, and each one gets its own agreement, so you control scope bill by bill. Start with the one from the Monday meeting.
Anyone authorized to bind it: an owner, an officer, a manager with authority. The agreement and the authorization are e-signed together from a phone, and they cover one bill each.
No. He works from the bill you send and a limited authorization that lets him speak to that one vendor about that one account. No bank access, no logins, no payments made on your behalf, no power to open or close anything.
Current vendor bills, recurring or one-time. He is not a law firm, not a debt settlement company, and not a lender, and he doesn't negotiate delinquent debts sitting with collection agencies. Bills you're paying, not debts you're dodging.
Each bill gets its own agreement, so there's no blanket contract to think over. Start with the ugliest one, watch how it goes, then send the rest. Most businesses do exactly that.
No. He deals with the vendor's billing and retention teams the way any authorized representative would, and those teams handle these calls all day. His first move is always the same service at a better rate. If a better deal means changing anything, it comes to you first.
The authorization ends with it. Fees exist only if savings were verified, you can cancel anytime by call, text, or email, and if you cancel mid-hunt he simply stops work. No wind-down charges, no exit fees.
The vendor bill everyone complains about in the Monday meeting is the best place to start. Worst case, he tells you it's clean and the analysis cost you nothing.
No retainer. No card. Fees exist only if you hire him and only from verified savings.
