How to Get Rid of up to 50% of Small Business Operating Costs
It pays to cut costs and save as a small business owner. After all, what good entrepreneur doesn’t run on a tight budget? Follow these indispensable tactics to cut operating cost by up to 50% and increase profitability:
Capitalize on tax write-offs
When it comes to minimizing costs, a small business owner can save significant amounts of cash by fully understanding the difference between expenses and assets. The IRS grants businesses a certain amount of items that can be claimed as expenses as opposed to assets. Be sure you’re claiming enough to meet this allowance.
If a business is home-based and doesn’t pay for the usage of a full-time office space, portions of home mortgages, utilities, and cleaning and landscaping costs could be claimed as business expenses. For more information about this and what your business can qualify for when it comes to business expense tax write-offs, check with a qualified tax advisor or search the IRS website. Fully understanding the accounting differences between assets and expenses and how recording items as one or the other can significantly reduce business costs and boost profitability.
Move to a virtual office space
Leasing an office space can be expensive. But what would a business owner do without that conference room access? Here is an accurate breakdown of approximately how much it costs to rent an average 400 square foot conference room:
- Rent = $1,517/month
- Basic utilities = $300/month
- Furnishing to seat 10 people = $5,000
- Technology supplies = $6,000 (projectors, computers, conference phone, etc.)
What if you could cut those costs? Many small businesses view leasing an office space as a necessity, when in fact that isn’t always the case. Though one big difference between the large corporate competition and smaller, home-based businesses is a professional, fully-furnished office space, there are other tools and services available that can help close this corporate gap. A major money-saving tool is virtual office space solutions. This allows businesses to significantly cut overhead costs by eliminating expensive leases, space utilities, and furnishing and supply expenses—all while providing the same benefits of owning or renting an office space.
Although many have misconceptions, a virtual office doesn’t mean all business functions have to move to the cloud—completely void of any physical, tangible location. A business that utilizes virtual office space solutions can still have a professional, recognized business address as well as access to fully-furnished conference rooms and offices.
