This service is a free of charge, cost reduction and management consultancy which looks at reducing the cost of all your businesses operational overheads. We are offering this to all types of Businesses across the city. Essential its a Moneysupermarket for all the costs and overheads that a business will incur, but with no consultancy or admin fee added to it. Our second venture which is due to be launched in the new year is Loci Pay This is what is really exciting me at the minute, as this is Sheffield's own version of ApplePay. It is exclusively available to all of our locally owned independent businesses and has a builtin mission which focuses on improving financial inequality.
