Improving Profitability

It’s easy to focus only on the day-to-day running of your business, especially in the early stages. But once you’re up and running, it can pay dividends to think about longer-term and more strategic planning. This is especially true as you take on more staff, create departments within the business, appoint managers or directors and become distanced from the everyday running of the business.

Reviewing your progress will be particularly useful if you feel:

• Uncertain about how well the business is performing
• Unsure if you’re getting the most out of the business or making the most of market opportunities
• Your business plan may be out of date, e.g. you haven’t updated it since you started trading
• Your business is moving in a direction different to the one you had planned
• The business may be becoming unwieldy or unresponsive to market demands
• It is also useful if you have decided that your company is ready to move on to another level
• Setting the direction

A clear business strategy will help to answer any concerns and show practical ways forward. Part of this plan should include strategies on how to improve profits.

Once you have identified and measured your key profit drivers, you should develop strategies to grow them, without increasing costs. Making your business more profitable involves looking at ways to increase sales revenue as well as decreasing your costs and benchmarking your business to see where you can save money.

You should also prioritise the strategies you’ve chosen to improve your profit so you can focus on the most important ones.
