Making a profit isn’t something that happens overnight – to create a good return from your business you need a clear focus and a well thought-out strategy for increasing profitability.
This means reviewing your business model and looking at every area of the business, to see where you can cut costs, increase margins and maximise revenue.
Focus on your key drivers
Having surplus cash at the end of the year allows you to invest back into the business, fund your growth plans and increase the size of your own dividends and drawings as the owner.
To achieve these profits, it’s important to focus on the key financial drivers in your business.
To drive profits:
- Boost sales – the more sales you make, the bigger your net revenue, so investing in marketing, sales activity and business development will be key to a better bottom line.
- Increase prices – by setting a higher price point, and keeping your ‘cost of goods sold’ number low, you create a larger profit margin on each sale – upping your profitability.
- Cut costs – operational costs and overheads eat into your potential profits. So spending management and cost reduction are vital to creating a more profitable model.
- Reduce taxes – tax liabilities will be one of your biggest costs, so sensible tax planning and use of tax reliefs will help to reduce your taxes and ramp up your end profit.
