Cost is a huge driver for any business

Cost is a huge driver for any business—the mindset is always to get the highest value at the lowest cost. This makes a lot of sense as you’ll want to make the most out of every investment that you make.

If you’re running a small business, you might think that it will be cheaper to just use a domestic phone line for your business instead of investing in a dedicated business one. However, this isn’t true at all, as providers of business phone lines have made cheap and tailored packages to address the needs of small businesses.

Before you start trying to compare business phone line providers it’s a good idea to know what it is you’re actually purchasing. Suppliers of business phone lines rent telephone lines wholesale from Tier 1 carriers like BT. This allows them to offer discounted calls and line rental. They then manage calls and maintenance over this network of lines either themselves or through contracting a third party like BT Openreach to do it for them. As BT is the major Tier 1 carrier, you’ll probably therefore find that nothing changes when you switch to a different business telephone line provider. You’ll still have phone lines on the BT network, serviced and repaired by BT engineers, you’ll just be dealing with a different company for billing, payments and customer services, but at a much cheaper cost.  And the savings can be enormous for a business saving upwards of over £2,000 in a year and that is worth doing.

You will have the option of using the new business telephone line provider like Sparta Telecom for your Broadband Internet. Which service you require will depend on how much you use the internet and how critical it is for your business. Website owners should discuss with their hosting or web design providers. Some available broadband options are:

·         ADSL Allows up to 8Mbps download speeds

·         ADSL2+ Allows up to 24Mbps download speeds

·         FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) Allows up to 40Mbps for downloads, 10Mbps for uploads. Only available if your local exchange provides fibre optic cabling.

·         Telephones are one piece of office equipment that no company can live without. A business needs to be able to communicate quickly and reliably in order to make those crucial time dependent decisions. However, at the same time you don't want to be spending unnecessary sums on business line rental –from your existing provider like BT which will eat into your profit margin for no good reason when you can make a lot of savings with another provider, like for example Sparta Telecom.

·         A good business line rental package provides you with high quality lines which are professionally installed in your offices. The phone lines will be used every day so you need to ensure you have low cost calls for your business. You'll also be able to get in touch with your supplier in the case of queries over service or billing and have your enquiry dealt with in a timely and professional manner.

·         The biggest advantage you get from business line rental with Sparta Telecom instead of BT is the peace of mind you have a phone system which will be take care of in every way. You will not have to worry about large bills, you will make savings, also good technical support and customer service. All of this will be taken care of by Sparta Telecom you contract to take care of the phone systems for your business.

·         The other great part about the business line rental is having someone on call at all times. Should anything go wrong with your system, you know exactly who to call. They will send someone out to your office to fix any kind of connection problems you may be encountering.  This means you will not have to worry about your lines being affected for a long time.
