How to prepare for 2021 by optimising costs and improving profitability

By MBM Omega

2020 has been a tough year for businesses across almost every industry, with many taking a significant financial hit. So, how can you improve profitability to prepare for a stronger financial year in 2021?

Improving profitability

Depending on your industry, investing in new product lines or enhancing customer service is a great avenue to increasing brand loyalty. Whether you improve response times to customer queries, personalise your customer service or look at new projects with customers, you could start to see the benefits almost straight away.

Optimising costs

The other half of the improving your financial position is optimising costs. This allows you to improve your financial position without increasing the prices that your customers pay.

Cost control has been difficult this year as many businesses have had to prioritise survival due to the pandemic. However, as businesses adapt and move forward, how can they increase profitability to promote recovery and encourage stronger financial performance in 2021?

• Cost cutting: Identifying processes, products, spend or resources that are surplus to requirements. If you have had to make changes to your team or workplace due to Coronavirus, you can likely reduce costs in a range of areas. Give our team a call on 020 8899 1100 for more information.
• Cost consolidation. For example, if you have different suppliers for each of your business services or supplies, consolidating suppliers so that spend is with one single supplier can give you greater control over costs, while presenting great opportunities for cost savings.
