YOUR BUSINESS ADVOCATE
Someone Looking Out for Opportunities You May Be Missing
You’re focused on running your business. My role is to help you discover opportunities to improve its financial position.
That may mean creating revenue from an asset you already have, recovering money from billing errors, reducing recurring expenses, or evaluating an additional risk-management strategy.
Uncle Dan Consulting brings the opportunities and the appropriate professionals together so you can understand your options and make informed decisions.
FEATURED BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
Three Ways to Put Your Business in a Stronger Position
Create new revenue. Recover and reduce expenses. Explore additional risk management.
Can Your Business Wi-Fi Generate Revenue?
Qualifying high-traffic businesses and venues may be able to turn Wi-Fi they already provide into an additional revenue stream through a technology known as Carrier Wi-Fi Offloading. The program uses existing Wi-Fi infrastructure—generally with no new hardware required, no upfront cost, and virtually no change to day-to-day operations.
Business Energy Cost Recovery & Reduction
Spending $50,000+ a Month on Utilities? You Could Be Leaving Serious Money on the Table.
Start with a comprehensive review of electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, waste, and other recurring utility expenses. Specialists look for potential overcharges, refunds, and ongoing savings, then evaluate Virtual Power Plants and other strategies for qualifying organizations.
831(a) Reinsurance
The “Baby Warren Buffett Strategy”
For qualifying businesses, a properly structured privately owned reinsurance company may provide an additional way to address certain business risks that traditional commercial insurance may not adequately cover, while building reserves over time. Appropriate insurance, tax, legal, and financial specialists determine suitability and structure.
WI-FI REVENUE
What If the Wi-Fi You're Already Paying For Could Start Paying You?
Can Your Business Wi-Fi Generate Revenue?
Your business already provides Wi-Fi. For qualifying high-traffic locations, that existing network may also generate revenue through a technology known as Carrier Wi-Fi Offloading—generally with no new hardware required, no upfront cost, and virtually no change to day-to-day operations.
How It Works
Carrier Wi-Fi Offloading allows participating mobile carriers to route some customers’ data through qualifying venue Wi-Fi networks. Your business may receive revenue for that usage.
I connect you with specialists who review your location, existing Wi-Fi, and foot traffic to determine whether the opportunity makes sense.
Put an Existing Asset to Work
- Uses existing Wi-Fi infrastructure
- Generally no new hardware required
- No upfront cost
- Virtually no change to day-to-day operations
- A potential new revenue stream
Is Your Business a Good Fit?
Hotels, casinos and resorts, restaurants, shopping centers, universities, hospitals, airports, convention centers, stadiums and arenas, entertainment venues, and other high-foot-traffic locations.
Participation and revenue depend on your location, network, usage, and program requirements.
BUSINESS ENERGY COST RECOVERY & REDUCTION
Spending $50,000+ a Month on Utilities? You Could Be Leaving Serious Money on the Table.
We begin with a comprehensive utility audit—usually starting with approximately 12 months of current bills—to understand where your money is going and identify potential refunds, recoverable charges, and ongoing savings.
More Than an Electricity Audit
Our specialists can review electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, waste / garbage, and other recurring utility and energy-related expenses.
The review looks for billing errors, overcharges, incorrect rates or classifications, recoverable charges, unnecessary recurring expenses, and cost-reduction opportunities. Historical bills may also be reviewed when appropriate.
A REAL-WORLD UNIVERSITY RESULT
$5.7 Million
Recovered for One University
A private university in Tennessee had approximately three years of historical utility billing reviewed. The review uncovered substantial billing discrepancies and overcharges, and the university ultimately received an approximately $5.7 million refund.
What’s Hiding in Your Utility Bills?
This is a specific historical result, not a guarantee of what another organization will recover.
AUDIT → RECOVER → REDUCE → OPTIMIZE
The Audit Is Only the Beginning
First, find out where the money is going. Next, identify money your organization may be entitled to recover. Then, evaluate strategies to potentially reduce future costs and improve energy economics over time.
For qualifying organizations, available strategies may potentially reduce ongoing energy costs by approximately 10% to 40%. Savings are not guaranteed. Actual results depend on the facility, location, current rates, energy usage, utility structure, and solutions available.
Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and other advanced energy strategies may be evaluated after the audit, when specialists understand your organization’s needs.
Is Your Business a Good Fit?
This review is especially relevant for organizations spending approximately $50,000 or more per month on utilities. These include data centers, universities and large campuses, casinos and resorts, hotels, manufacturers, hospitals and healthcare systems, shopping centers, commercial real estate portfolios, warehouses, distribution facilities, and other major commercial and institutional energy users.
831(a) REINSURANCE
The “Baby Warren Buffett Strategy”
An Additional Way to Manage Business Risk and Build Reserves
For qualifying businesses, a properly structured privately owned reinsurance company may provide an additional way to address certain business risks that traditional commercial insurance may not adequately cover, while building reserves over time.
The strategy complements your existing commercial and liability insurance. It does not replace them.
Start With Your Business, Your Risks, and Your Advisors
I connect you with appropriate insurance, tax, legal, and financial specialists who determine whether the opportunity makes sense for your business and how it should be structured. Your CPA, attorney, and other professional advisors can remain involved throughout the evaluation.
Potential Objectives
- Additional risk management
- Addressing certain exposures traditional insurance may not adequately cover
- Building reserves over time
- Strengthening financial resilience and preparing for unexpected business events
- Long-term financial and legacy planning opportunities for qualifying owners and their families
Is Your Business a Good Fit?
This opportunity is generally considered for businesses with $1 million or more in gross receipts. Revenue alone does not determine suitability.
Suitability and results depend on your business, its risks, and how the arrangement is structured. Specialist review is essential.
