The Business Case for Adopting SportsFi

 In today's world, sports clubs need to balance winning games with being sustainable. The case for SportsFi is clear. Our platform is essential. It leads to cost savings, better efficiency, and a competitive edge. Here’s why clubs join and how investors benefit.

 Key Commercial Benefits:

Benefit

Existing

SportsFi

Annual Saving

Compliance and Infrastructure

Building ISO/SOC-compliant systems in-house costs between £150k and £300k upfront. Then, it's £50k to £100k each year for maintenance.

Delivers a ready-made solution, avoiding the need for dedicated staff, consultants, and audits.

 

£200k–£400k

Reduced Financing Costs

Clubs face higher rates and broker fees because of a fragmented market and few lenders. These fees range from 0.5% to 2%.

We standardise data and allow access from many lenders. This cuts interest margins and removes intermediaries.

£100k–£2m+

per year based on club size

Efficiency (1–2 FTEs saved)

Manual processes equate to 1–2 full-time salaries (min. £60k–£120k) in wasted resources and time.

SportsFi streamlines workflows, freeing teams for high-value work without added headcount.

£60k–£120k

Replace tools (data rooms, etc.)

Clubs spend on average £50k to £200k yearly on data rooms, storage, workflow tools, and outside advisers.

Our all-in-one subscription replaces them, with added visibility for multi-club owners.

£50k–£200k

Risk reduction & better decisions

Errors in submissions or data handling can lead to fines or lost revenue. These costs can reach hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Automated checks and audit trails stop this. A single source of truth also boosts decision-making.

£300k–£3m+

(Conservative estimates)

Clubs save between £500k and £3m+ each year, far more than any SportsFi subscription. We help to overcome old thinking by showing clear returns on investment.

We designed the platform to address concerns about its relevance. Smaller clubs view it as an outsourced operations team. Bigger clubs discover big cost savings. SportsFi isn't software; it's a smart investment.
