Money-saving tips for business supplies

Whatever business you run, it will need a certain number of ‘business supplies’ to keep it running. Business supplies could be anything from items used in the office to the shop floor.

Every business has its expenses and if left unchecked those expenses can spiral and cost your business more than it should.

Keeping inventory 

Whenever undertaking a purchase order you should always first consider your inventory. Your inventory should be able to tell you exactly what you do and don’t have. More importantly, a well-kept inventory can advise you as to what you do and don’t need.

Over-purchasing can result in wastage that ultimately costs the business money and under-purchasing will see your business go without items it might need. This then results in a scramble to purchase needed items at an often unnecessary rate. Ensure your inventory is kept up to date and always consulted before purchases. 

Buy supplies in bulk 

One of the best ways to reduce the cost of purchases is to go big and buy in bulk. Retailers and suppliers commonly offer discounts to consumers who undertake bulk purchases.

So when it comes to buying items you will always need and use, consider buying a six-month supply as opposed to a weekly supply. You might be surprised at the savings you could make.

Shop around

No matter how niche your need is the big world wide web will be able to produce dozens of results in seconds. Whether you need science tables, display cabinets, or drill bits be sure to look online and shop around for the best deal.

Don’t be afraid to break away from your usual supplier if there is a better alternative available. Remember the better alternative isn’t always the lowest price, be sure to consider other aspects such as delivery time, customer service, and reputation when looking to make your next purchase. 

Corporate or business accounts 

When dealing with a supplier you may wish to consider setting up a corporate or business account, where possible. Many suppliers will offer this function and it can have a number of benefits for both you and them. Typically account holders will benefit from discounts and promotions by way of a reward for their loyal customers.

Alternatively, you may benefit from the accumulation of ‘points’ earned by way of money spent. These points will often then translate into a financial saving or incentive for future orders. If nothing else your account should allow you to accurately track orders and spending patterns, all of which is useful data to analyze when considering your company expenditure and potential cost-saving measures. 

Consider buying used business supplies

Buying second-hand or used items will see you make considerable savings over buying new items. When it comes to buying supplies, your options are vast, Therefore, you no longer have to buy new. Businesses commonly sell used items or unwanted stock at a hugely discounted rate. Moreover, upcycling and the regeneration of used items is fast becoming a business in its own right.

Making it possible for business owners to purchase refurbished used stock at lower prices. Why not take advantage of these bargains for your business. Not only will you be saving on your expenses you will be improving the carbon footprint and sustainability of your business also.
