Ways to Reduce Business Costs
Posted on: August 3, 2009
There are several ways to reduce operational business expenses. Some of these suggestions can save you significant money within moments.
STAFF
Find outsourcing and contracting opportunities for ‘ad-hoc’ services. This step can significantly increase business capital.
OFFICE SUPPLIES
Consider a company-wide ‘green’ initiative. Try a no-print policy for emails and/or print on both sides of the paper.
OFFICE SPACE
Working from home is one of the quickest ways to reduce the company’s overhead costs. With a standard office, there are several expensive costs such as facility, landscaping, and lease management. Not to mention the property taxes and other operational expenses.
CONFERENCING
Using the Internet via web conferencing can save time, costs (travel, phone) and valuable energy.

VENDOR MANAGEMENT
Working closely with your vendors and ensuring that they are abiding by the terms and conditions of the contract can reduce overhead costs significantly.
COMPANY PURCHASING
Identify areas in the company whereby purchasing as a group could be more financially efficient. When making a bulk purchase some vendors can give instant savings based upon the amount of items acquired.
