A telecom contract can look attractive on day one. But what happens if your business changes two, three or five years later? Before signing anything, make sure you understand exactly what you’re committing to.
Look Beyond the Monthly Price
Price matters, but it shouldn’t be the only thing you compare when choosing a telecom provider.
A low monthly price can become much less attractive if you’re tied into a lengthy agreement, prices increase during the contract or additional services come with unexpected charges.
Understanding the full agreement before signing can prevent unpleasant surprises later.
7 Things You Should Check
1. Contract length – How long are you actually committing your business for?
2. Notice period – How much notice must you provide if you want to leave?
3. Price increases – Can your monthly charges increase during the agreement?
4. Automatic renewal – What happens when the initial contract ends?
5. Early termination charges – What would it cost if you needed to leave early?
6. Equipment – Do you own the equipment or is it leased as part of the agreement?
7. Support – Who do you contact when something goes wrong and what support is included?
Choose a Contract That Gives Your Business Room to Change
Your employee numbers, offices, technology and communication requirements can all change over time.
A telecom agreement should support that change rather than leave you trapped with services that no longer suit your business.
At Blucom, we believe businesses should understand exactly what they’re signing before entering a telecom agreement.
