Overhead Reduction tops New Year agenda

Business rates are currently a key area of activity with sharp increases in rateable values reported by many business owners already facing cash flow challenges. It's often difficult and time-consuming for a busy business to research ways of reducing overheads and then implement the changes.

The new rates come into effect on 1 April 2010 and speed is of the essence.

I was recently reviewing a clients' overheads where £4000 was being spent on office supplies per annum alone. After speaking with our Expense Control team and putting them in touch with the Purchasing Pool Partners, we were able to cut this by half - it certainly pays to "compare the market". I would suggest any overhead expenditure over £3000 per annum is worth assessing to check if you are getting the best price. Any business that accepts it probably does not have the resource, relationships or product expertise to keep costs to a minimum would benefit from this service.
