About FreeTEM
Independent advisors for the spend that runs your business.
FreeTEM helps you source the right providers, audit what you’re already paying, and manage telecom, energy, and cloud spend over time — funded entirely by suppliers, at no cost to the businesses we serve.
- $0 cost to you
- Hundreds of providers
- One point of contact
Empowering your freedom to decide.
That’s the TEM in FreeTEM — Technology Expense Management: telecom, energy, and utility spend combined under one independent advisor instead of a dozen vendors. One relationship, the whole market, and advice that answers to you.
Why FreeTEM
Advisors on your side of the table.
“I wanted to sit next to the business owner — not across from them.”
I founded FreeTEM on a simple frustration: nearly every technology and utility decision a business makes happens across a table from someone paid to sell one product line. I wanted to sit on the other side of that table and give honest guidance on what actually fits — drawn from the whole market instead of a single catalog.
That independence is structural. We aren’t any one provider’s salesforce; we’re an authorized partner across hundreds of them. FreeTEM is funded by the suppliers our clients choose, through commissions already built into standard pricing — so our advice costs you nothing, and our only job is to represent your interests.

How the model works.
Telecom, energy, and cloud providers all build a partner commission into their standard pricing — it’s there whether you sign direct or through an advisor. FreeTEM is an authorized partner in that channel, so the providers you choose pay us through commissions already priced in.
01
You pay nothing
No fees, no retainers, no markup. The commission is already in the provider’s pricing — you simply get an advisor working it for you.
02
You get the same rates
The same pricing you’d get going direct — plus a market-wide comparison instead of a single vendor’s pitch.
03
Your advisor answers to you
We’re not tied to one catalog, so the recommendation is shaped by your business — not by what a vendor needs to sell this quarter.
What we do
Three practices. One point of contact.
FreeTEM works across three practices — and in each one we do the same three things: source the right providers, audit what you’re paying, and manage that spend as your business changes.
Energy & Utilities
Electricity and gas supply benchmarking in deregulated markets, plus efficiency and smart-infrastructure opportunities that lower what you consume.
Cloud & Security
Cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and managed services — matched to your stack and your risk profile, not a single platform’s roadmap.
1
Source
Compare the whole vetted network and match you to providers that actually fit — by need, footprint, and budget.
2
Audit
Comb existing bills and contracts for overspend, billing errors, and auto-renewals quietly drifting up.
3
Manage
Keep that spend efficient over time — renewals, moves, adds, and changes — with one advisor on call.
Proof
Results that reach the bottom line.
Independent advice, measured in dollars back to the business.
