Equipment and vehicle expenses (including travel) are my highest overheads. After that, phones and IT costs.

Mystery Shopper fee's.

If you can tie the amount of your overheads to the level of income you generate, you have it pretty spot on i reckon. If i had an constant large overhead that remained regardless of income levels i think it would give me sleepless nights!

Biggest overhead would be marketing (if you count 4N in there too)

Trimmed alot of fat recently and saved some cash, while actually improving services (it's mad, right!)

In addtion, there's rent, drawings, travel, tax etc.

For those who mentioned salaries as the biggest overhead, what depth do you go to analysising those? For example, if one of your employees spent half a day sorting out the broadband/IT/(insert other overhead), does that time and cost get factored into those areas at all?

Captain Overheads. Managing companies' overheads for them on a share of savings basis.

No, I pay my broadband provider for an active, working, connection. If it fails, its they who repair it and get it up and running
