At Clear Books, helping you make more money is baked into what we do, from the affordability of our software and our invoice automation tools to the extensive functionality that frees up the time you need to find and attract new business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are times \u2014 like now \u2014 when you can\u2019t always rely on making more money to keep you afloat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, with the astronomical rise in energy bills, NIC increases, and the cost-of-living crisis as a whole, affecting businesses the length and breadth of the country, you might feel that you need a more immediate solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, let\u2019s look at the various ways small business owners can cut business costs and make some serious savings\u2014 right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 ways to cut your business costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Negotiate with vendors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of the vendors you use might be open to negotiation and some might even offer discounts for customers who buy in bulk or for those who settle their invoices early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always worth asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don\u2019t be afraid to seek quotes from other vendors and let your supplier know that you\u2019re prepared to walk away if you can find a better deal elsewhere. They may be prepared to offer you a price match if you have a good relationship history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Scale down your office space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While some office workers were itching to get back to their usual desks after pandemic home working, many have hit their stride with remote working, are more productive, and love the lack of commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If rental overheads are one of your biggest expenses (and for many small business owners, they are), take advantage of new working from home habits by scaling back your office space \u2014 or letting it go altogether \u2014 and embracing longer-term remote working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as it\u2019s a setup that works for both you and your employees, this is one of the best ways to cut business costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Cut your travel and meeting expenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With COVID restrictions lifting, the knee-jerk reaction is to return to in-person meetings, conferences, and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if a large chunk of your budget is typically dedicated to travel expenses like flights, hotels, and fuel or to meeting room hire, it\u2019s worth thinking about which of these events could just as effectively continue over Zoom. It might not work for every situation or every business, but there are serious savings to be made for those businesses that can continue to work primarily online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Minimise utility bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This might be easier said than done in the present climate, of course. But it\u2019s worth looking into the rates you\u2019re currently paying and whether, as a small business owner, you might be entitled to lower rates for things like water or energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cut<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Park your least successful business ventures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s one of the most exciting facets of being an entrepreneur: hatching new ideas, investing in them, watching as they grow arms and legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if a particular business venture isn\u2019t growing arms and legs as quickly as you\u2019d hoped and is costing you more than it\u2019s bringing you in, it might be a good idea to park it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concentrate on what\u2019s already working \u2014 at least for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Look at staffing costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know that this one doesn\u2019t feel particularly pleasant and isn\u2019t something you\u2019ll take lightly, but it\u2019s a good idea to consider whether your current staffing levels are still appropriate for where you are right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you do decide to park some of your ventures, you might find that you no longer need a full-time staff member and a part-time hire is a better fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might even decide to take on extra hours yourself, only outsourcing the tasks you hate to a contractor or freelancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Change your bank\/credit card provider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your credit card interest charges are giving you nightmares, why not look into transferring your debt to a 0% APR card while you pay the balance of your debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if your bank is squeezing you with increasing monthly fees, debit card fees, or crazy overdraft charges, shop around for a better deal. You may even find the odd bank that still offers incentives for new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Keep a closer eye on your books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re probably hyper-aware of the bigger expenses, in the day-to-day running of your business it\u2019s easy to forget about the smaller outgoings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But whether it\u2019s artisanal coffee and pastries you supply for Monday morning meetings or your habit of buying business-related books you never find the time to read, you could be spending more than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So take a closer look at your books, particularly at the smaller expenses that tend to add up, and see you can comfortably cut any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have trouble keeping on top of your finances, consider switching to accounting software, like Clear Books<\/a>, that makes it easy to see at a glance exactly what you\u2019re earning and where your money is going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And be aware that while it might not feel like there\u2019s room in the budget to hire an accountant right now, the right financial expert could well save you far more than the cost of their fee when it comes to tax planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing in new business or raising your prices will help cushion the impact of your increasing expenses, but you might not be able to wait for the positive effects to hit your cash flow. So, if you\u2019re feeling the squeeze now, we hope that some of the suggestions we\u2019ve shared here will give you the breathing space you need to get through the potentially tough months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
