Sometimes, it's hard to know how to handle increasing cost for your small business. However, there are a few tips we can offer that might help you do so. Offsetting costs is possible with the following information.
Tax credits are available for companies. Look for eco-friendly tax credits that might help if you have energy efficient laundry equipment. You may also qualify for credits that include solar water heating and other systems that are considered green. There are also tax deductions that can help offset costs. Work closely with your tax advisor in order to make sure you are doing all you can to take advantage of special tax credits and deductions.
Sometimes, handling increasing cost is a matter of raising prices. No business owner wants to do this, but sometimes it's necessary. Assess your market competition and if it's possible, increase prices to maintain a profitable business. Sometimes, you'll be able to raise prices without losing customers because your rates were so low to begin with.
Updating laundry equipment is a great way to counteract costs, as well. You might think that this is an added cost. However, the upfront cost will be more beneficial for lowering costs in the long run. Consider talking with your local dealer about laundry equipment that works to your advantage when it comes to cutting costs. There are washers and dryers that use less energy. Also, outdated equipment can sometimes be more expensive to maintain thanks to repairs and other issues.
There are also ways to increase your revenue. If you don't already have vending machines, an ATM or other extras, consider adding them in your laundromat. They could be very profitable. Look into maintenance packages from vending machine and ATM companies you work with. Sometimes you can pay them to service the machine monthly or quarterly. Check with them about a repair contract, as well. Take a look at your budget and decide whether or not you can purchase vending machines or an ATM outright. Sometimes, this is a more profitable option for those who are able to afford the upfront cost.
