05FAQ
UFMS questions
UFMS
What is UFMS?
Utility Full Maintenance Solutions (UFMS) is a tailored service for power and water management. Power4Less designs, installs, insures, operates and maintains the infrastructure, and you pay a fixed tariff for the output — independent of your turnover or market segment.
Do we need capital or loan security?
No. UFMS removes the need for upfront capital, loan security or financial gearing, so surplus capital can go into growing the business rather than securing utilities.
How much can our costs increase?
The tariff is fixed for the contract period, with annual increases capped between 5% and 7%. That makes utility costs a predictable budget line.
What savings are typical?
Businesses, body corporates and industrial power users on UFMS typically achieve up to 35% cost reduction on utilities.
Who owns the system?
Power4Less owns and maintains it during the contract. An ownership option is available after the contract term.
