How a client saved almost £500 a year instantly!

We’re a big fan of paying for software subscriptions annually to save a few pounds so it came as no surprise when a client recently proudly declared she saved £445.50 from moving her monthly payments to annual for Zoom, Calendly, LeadPages, ActiveCampaign, MinuteDock, Dropbox and Adobe.

That’s just a small sample of places to look to save money, so we encourage you to assess all your monthly subscriptions and convert them to annual.

Often not having enough money can prevent many business owners from doing this so you could use your business credit card until the savings kick in, but REMEMBER to pay the credit card off either in full when the statement comes in (giving you up to 8 weeks credit) or within 3 months. Alternatively, you could apply for an overdraft, or take advantage of the business interruption loan, so long as the latter is used to help you trade efficiently through the upheaval covid-19 has brought your business.
