BUSINESS TELEPHONY

We find the perfect business broadband provider for you

With so much choice on the market, finding the right business broadband provider can be a daunting and time-consuming task.

We are here to lend our extensive expertise to you and your business so you get the best deal possible, smooth and stress-free.

What is business broadband?

Business broadband differs from home broadband in a few ways.

Firstly, business broadband packages might be more comprehensive, with faster download speed and fibre broadband. They may have an internet connection that can cope with multiple devices operating at a high capacity at peak times. Because these packages tend to be more extensive, equipment such as routers might come free.

Other features may include free calls and unlimited wifi usage.

Significantly, business broadband deals tend to come with dedicated technical support and customer service. They also come with a static IP address, which allows you to host your own servers.

Small differences, big improvements

An IP address is a code that a computer is identified with when they connect to a certain network. Home broadband packages come with a dynamic IP address, which means the code changes each time you log on. However, business broadband comes with a static IP address which never changes.

This can be beneficial to the business for many reasons. These include:

• Running servers
• Hosting and building websites
• Hosting personalised email servers
• Create your own Virtual Private Network (VPN)
• Professionalism

The special technical support you’ll receive from this broadband service is also a key advantage. Your bespoke support will ensure that if anything affects your broadband connectivity, the issue will be resolved quickly and efficiently. This ensures the smooth running of your business.

What is the best deal for my business?

Every business is unique. Your needs will differ depending on a range of factors. For instance, a business broadband package that suits a small business will not work for a larger one.

When we search to find you the best deal, we will ask you to consider the following:

• What do you regard as the most important requirement for your business broadband?
• Are you looking for both business broadband and phone package?
• What length of contract suits you best?
• What is your budget?
• What is your level of data consumption? (It is always advisable to do a data audit to find the answer to this)
• What are your needs regarding web hosting and email addresses?
• What level of PC security do you require?

Of course, we are just a phone call or email away to help you find the answers to these questions. Don’t hesitate to get in touch today.

Stay connected for a fraction of the cost

The way business is conducted has changed drastically, and our devices need to change with them. Many companies already rely on mobile technologies to stay connected with customers and coworkers and work remotely or on the go.

However, finding the most affordable mobile phone deals, contracts and navigating the wide range of providers and networks can be challenging, causing you to lose time and money best spent elsewhere. Why not let us help simplify the process for you? We can save you money and provide a customer service level no other business mobile contract broker can match.

So how can Hurricane help you find the best business mobile contracts? We will act as consultants and not as salespeople, finding you the mobile plans that best suit your business and needs.

With existing relationships with the UK's leading mobile providers, we know how to find the best contracts for any business with discretion and professionalism. With no ties to a specific partner, we offer a completely unbiased service built around you and your business.

Our existing clients have saved as much as 40% with our help. By acting as a direct link to suppliers, we can negotiate on your behalf and cut your business phones' costs. Whether you're a sole trader or responsible for hundreds of employees' contracts, we always put your needs first.

How we find the deals most suited to your business

Gain an understanding of your current contract

One of the first steps in finding the best deals for you is a thorough analysis of your current mobile phone contract. Understanding what you currently receive, how much you pay, and whether it is a good fit is vital in knowing how to get the most for your money. Does your current contact meet all your requirements? If not, why not?

Knowing what your business phones are used for

We will discuss the types of work your employees do and what you feel you need your phones for and use the information to tailor our services. We find that every company has unique requirements but are stuck with standard and ill-fitting contacts.

For example, on-site or farming staff might need more durable phones to withstand demanding working conditions. In contrast, employees who travel regularly may need something with the functionality of a smartphone. Knowing how you use your phones will help us find the most suitable contract with the best prices. Are your devices and mobile contracts best suited for how you use them?

We keep in mind the principle of 'need' rather than 'want'

This principle allows us to focus on making sure your current contracts and devices used by your employees reflect your business what they need. The latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy may look attractive and be the latest in mobile technology, but they aren't always the best option for you.

By focusing on the need rather than the want, we can give impartial advice on everything from mobile coverage to the fact that the cheapest business mobile phone contracts aren't necessarily the best for you.

To ensure you're covered and get what you need from any contract, we always provide test phones and SIMS to check which network gives you the best coverage for your working area. When you're happy that you've tested them all out and chosen a network, we then work out tariffs and packages tailored to your exact needs.

Free business mobile phone plan health checks

To ensure you're satisfied long after any contract is signed, we provide free monthly health checks as an additional service. By providing us with a copy of your bill, we can:

• Analyse your actual usage and make sure your new tariff is working for you
• Take advantage of any new tariffs that might have appeared
• Provide information along the way on upgrades, new connections and porting.

Get the most for your money, and make sure all your needs are met with Hurricane Communication.

VoIP solutions are the future for your business

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the definition of office work for every business in the country. Many are working from home from different locations, presenting a challenge for communication systems everywhere.

In a smart move, many businesses are setting up hosted VoIP solutions, which simplify their phone systems and cut their costs. At Hurricane Communications, we are here to help you find the right provider for all your VoIP needs.

What is a VoIP phone system?

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the technology we use to make phone calls over an internet connection rather than through a traditional phone line. Businesses are increasingly gravitating more and more towards VoIP systems as they come with so many benefits.

What are the advantages?

• All-inclusive device integration
• Supports remote working
• Cheaper domestic and international calls
• Ease and call quality

With a VoIP phone system, your business will be able to receive and make calls from a variety of different devices. This includes laptops, smartphones, physical office phones and computers.

Much of the maintenance of your VoIP system is done via an app, making it simple and easy to set up on the go. It’s highly flexible and can either be established as a brand new service or integrated into an existing one.

These devices are not required to be localised in a specific building or place, so VoIP is a great option for remote workers. You are able to set up extensions in a myriad of different locations with just the click of a button. There are also an array of features designed for team collaboration, making it an essential tool in the current climate.

This isn’t just a smart tool for the pandemic, though. Once employees begin returning to work, VoIP systems can support a whole host of in-office communication tools such as fax machines, video conferencing, and mobile communications.

VoIP can also save your business money, with up to 70% savings on call costs. Domestic calls are considerably cheaper on an internet connection, as are international calls.

What is hosted VoIP?

Unlike a traditional phone line, the VoIP infrastructure is based “in the cloud” rather than physically being installed on your premises. You pay a monthly fee for your provider to maintain and manage your VoIP services.

As there is no physical installation, setting up VoIP will not disrupt your business in any way. Hosted VoIP is very low maintenance, and so many businesses find this is the best option for them.

We can help

VoIP is new territory for many businesses, and finding the right host can be time-consuming and intimidating. Without knowledge of the market and the product, switching phone providers can be challenging.

That’s where Hurricane Communications come in.

We have extensive and in-depth knowledge of the industry and have been helping businesses all over the country in finding the right providers for many years. Getting to know you and your individual needs is at the heart of what we do, and we’re dedicated to providing you with the best solutions. We take great satisfaction in watching your business thrive by saving you time, money and stress.

Working for you

Dedicated to providing an installation service that is best suited to your company and its requirements, we provide every client with a bespoke and fully comprehensive service to help you save time, money and effort when it comes to landline solutions.

Your phone line, tailored to you and your business

With so many features available, we want to provide you with the phone system that works best with your business. We will work closely with you to ensure all of your needs are met.

There are many factors to consider here, including:

• The size of your business and your vision for the future
• The extra features you might require (now or later)
• How your line integrates with the rest of your systems
• Installation and maintenance services, and how best to access them on your schedule

Don’t worry if these questions seem daunting. With our years of expertise, we are here to advise you on all of the above.

Long-lasting relationships

As your business expands, you might want to upgrade your phone system and its plan to incorporate extra features and better facilitate the growth of your business.

We will continue to work alongside you as you grow to ensure your business phone plan continues to meet all of your needs. After all, a system that works for a small business is not going to be suited for a large business with many employees. You can count on us to be there as your needs change and develop.

We find the best business landline contract for your business

Whether you’re a large or a small business, it’s a good idea to review your business landline contract on a regular basis.

Not only might there be a deal out there that is more cost-effective, but you will also find many other advantages such as improved customer service, inclusive broadband packages and boosted phone systems. Choosing to switch suppliers can make a big positive impact on your business.

To offer our customers the best service in reviewing their business landline contracts, Hurricane Communications works with Clyde Solutions of Glasgow, one of Scotland’s leading telecommunications providers for corporate customers.

Find a landline contract that works for you

We are committed to providing you with a landline contract that works for you.

Let us do the hard work 

Despite all these wonderful benefits, sourcing the best deals for your business can be a long and difficult process. It takes time and effort.

At Hurricane Communications, we make changing your business landline contracts easy. We take care of each step for you with our simple process:

• Firstly, one of our analysts will examine your existing bill to see how much you could save, as well as visit your place of work if desired.
• Our systems specialist will work with you to determine exactly what you need (or don’t need) from your business telephone contracts, including a review of your desk phones.
• We then advise you on the benefits of the latest technology, including call transfers, data backup and answering services, so that you can decide what is right for you.

If you choose to move to a new supplier after reviewing new contracts and tariffs, disruption will be minimal. Your calls will still come through your existing BT lines.

As with everything we do, our goal is to keep it simple!

It is a core value of ours that we foster long-lasting relationships with our clients, and we have built up a loyal network of happy customers over the years. David Gill, director of David Gill & Co Chartered Accountants, elaborates:
