What makes a business successful?
Never stop investigating ways to improve all areas of your business. The
astute businessperson will seek information to assist him or her in making the
changes necessary to stay profitable in a competitive business world.
Here are some ideas that could improve your profits:
- Do your homework.
Before you start a new business, be
sure the community can support such a business. Some areas are not large enough
to warrant certain specialty shops. A bicycle shop, for example, may take a
population base of 50,000 people to make it profitable. A grocery store, on the
other hand, can be profitable in a town of only a few thousand.
- Carefully review business proposals.
Business deals and
special franchises which sound too good to be true usually are. We will gladly
assist you in reviewing any business purchase or business proposal.
- Enlist the services of professionals.
Accountants,
bankers, insurance agents and lawyers can help you solve your business problems.
These professionals handle a variety of business problems every day. They make
excellent sounding boards for proposed transactions.
- Check reasons for incorporating.
Don't incorporate your
business without first checking the long-range tax and nontax considerations.
There are many small corporations that would have been better off operating in
some other legal form.
- Make payroll deposits on time.
Some businesses receive
penalties for late payroll tax deposits. To avoid such problems, don't sign
payroll checks unless the first check in the stack is the payroll deposit to
your bank. This may have you paying deposits earlier than required, but you will
not be receiving penalties.
- Listen to your customers.
You are not only selling
products or services, you are selling customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers
return to spend more money and are likely to refer new customers to you.
- Strive to retain customers.
It is estimated to cost ten
times as much to acquire a new customer as it does to retain a current customer
through good customer service.
- Don't make yourself indispensable.
If your company runs
well now in your absence, it will run well in the event of your disability or
death. If you are currently indispensable, start training people now. One of the
most rewarding forms of retirement is to own your own company and to be absent
as much as you like.
