Assistance, Analysis, Verification and Adjustment, the 4A method it looks like a simple recipe to customers but the complexity is there, only that the person who perfected the method takes charge of it. It's about FBC ITALY, a company operating for over ten years in the sector of business consultancy. The first entrepreneurial reality specialized in a customized consultancy service for the management of energy, gas and telecommunications costs and consumption.
Only Utility Managers certified according to the current UNI 11782 of 2020 legislation work in this company. In detail, the professionals of FBC Italia first take care of giving an overview of the existing contracts, the active utilities and the deadlines of the constraints, then we move on to analysis of the company situation in terms of objective needs in relation to market offers. If the utility manager or corporate purchasing manager deem it appropriate, a phase takes over in which - with appropriate powers - the contracts renegotiated with the same operators or with new ones. At this point, the utility manager consultant makes sure that the costs in the bill are correct and, in case of any inconsistencies, resolves them. These are not one-off interventions because, being part of the 4 A's, there is first of all the A of "Assistance": that is, a team of people available to the customer, every day, for everything concerning company utilities.
An example to understand the type of attention that must be maintained on the regulations and on the savings and saving possibilities sometimes proposed by the Government are the government decree Aiuti-quater or the Budget Law 2023, which confirmed and increased the recovery of tax credits to alleviate the expensive bill of companies also for the first quarter of 2023, moving forward - to 31 December 2023 - the terms of use in compensation (also by any purchasers of credits). The so-called tax credit, promoted in January 2022 only for energy-intensive companies (with average electricity consumption of at least 1 GWh per year, in specific sectors) and gas-intensive companies (with average annual gas consumption of at least 94.582 Scm, standard cubic metre), it was then extended with different concessions also to entrepreneurial realities with lower consumption, but still grappling with the increase in prices.
It is not easy to keep up with the news but above all to dedicate time to the bureaucracy to request and obtain these benefits. They know this well at FBC ITALIA and in fact they made timely efforts to offer the service for requesting a "tax credit" to their customers.
Continuous monitoring for the sectors of interest and attention to the market, trends over time, seasonality and consumption profiles that allow you to decide if and when to negotiate a contract, understanding an offer and finally choosing the most suitable solution for your business: these are the ingredients of the innovative formula of FBC Italia which has what it takes to define an exclusive standard.
