As the old saying goes, a dollar saved is a dollar gained – This is especially true when you can better spend the money that you saved into investments that can help grow your business. Although saving money can be tricky when running a business, trimming overhead sometimes is not only a matter of making more profits, it might be the key to your business’s survival.
We have compiled a short list of items that not only can
help lower overhead costs but can also help the environment by reducing
unnecessary consumption.
1. Paperless or
doubled sided printing method
This is a must in this day and age with the increase use in
tablets and cloud computing. Not only can saving on materials save you money
directly, this can also be a time saver, which in turn saves you more money.
When you do have to have hard copies, consider looking into
having regularly used forms printed and on-hand as opposed to photocopying
them, as this can be a less expensive route. You may also want to consider
upgrading your printer to the ones that allow double sided printing, which can
save you considerable amount of paper every year.
2. Buy recycled
printer cartridges
Recycling not only saves you money but it is also good for
the environment. Printing ink and toner cartridges can sometime be one of the
main costs for businesses. Buying recycled or remanufactured printing supplies
can often times save you up to 70% of your ordinary printing costs. You can
also stop that plastic cartridge from being one of the 350 million printer
cartridges already in our landfills.
3. Buy used office
furniture and equipment
Although it is tempting to purchase new and shiny items in
your office, it is much more prudent and environmentally friendly to purchase
used office furniture and equipments that are in good condition. Look around
the internet or contact local office equipment supplier and you might be
surprised how much money can be saved with used or reconditioned office
furniture and equipment.
4. Reduce office
energy consumption or go solar
You may be surprised how much money you can save through
simple moves such as changing to the right light bulbs or keeping the equipment
on a power strip and turning the power strip off when not in use. Since the
object of many environmentally friendly changes is to save energy, and you have
to pay for the energy your business uses; that means if energy consumption can
be reduced, you will also be cutting down costs.
There are also many solar programs out there that require
very little up-front cost through leasing or financing that will dramatically
reduce or eliminate your electric bill. Consider contacting your local solar
equipment providers for more details on how going solar can save you money.
