Serious expense reduction requires serious thought and an organized approach so that you
can reduce waste without impacting the quality of your services and products.
Here are a few Cost-cutting Tips we use/plan to use at RAD :
1. Outsource - Working with contractors based in cities with a lower cost of living often
charge lower rates, helping you reduce costs.
2. Hire Remote Workers and Freelancers - A remote staff means fewer sick days and
higher productivity levels. This definitely can save you money on office space, Higher
hourly rates and they don’t benefit.
3. Review all expenses, even the little ones - You can’t manage something which
you don’t track. If you are not keeping a record of all your expenses, you should start
doing it right now. Sometimes we unconsciously ignore small expenses that can pile up
quickly over a period of time.
4. Create A Budget To Succeed - Budgeting and financial management must be a
focus so that you can avoid common mistakes. You just can’t make smart financial
decisions if you don’t actually have a clear idea of how much money is coming in and out
each month.
5. Check for unnecessary expenses – A study shows many small-business owners
end up with expenses over time that they no longer need. It is recommended to review
your budget with a magnifying glass and make sure all of your expenses are still
necessary.
No matter what level your business is currently on, from the start-up phase to a well-
established one, cutting business costs is always in the back of a business owner’s mind.
Try a combination or even all of the tips above to reduce business costs at any point that’s
needed.
