Keeping the financial status of your agency healthy is so important for the future of your new business<\/a>, however it can be one of the most challenging aspects.<\/p>\n

Imagine you have an exciting chance for growth and you need a business loan, you want to be in the best position you can to take advantage of the opportunity.<\/p>\n

Below we\u2019ve taken a look at a number of different ways you can boost the financial status of your recruitment agency:<\/p>\n

Ensure Customers Pay On Time<\/b><\/h3>\n

A great way to keep your recruitment agency\u2019s financial status healthy is by ensuring that your customers pay on time.<\/p>\n

You might feel it\u2019s out of your control, however there\u2019s a number of different strategies you can implement to get your customers to pay faster.<\/p>\n

For example, as soon as you start working together make your terms and conditions completely clear around payment.<\/p>\n

Also make it easy to pay by ensuring your invoices are clear and accurate, considering a potential incentive for early payment!<\/p>\n

Check You\u2019re Working Efficiently<\/b><\/h3>\n

By taking a look at the processes within your recruitment agency<\/a> you\u2019re able to determine whether you\u2019re working as effectively as you could be.<\/p>\n

You might not see this as directly linked to your finances, however you can lose serious amounts of money by not working efficiently.<\/p>\n

Even little things like reviewing your energy bills can be a great way to cut costs and save your recruitment agency money.<\/p>\n

Maybe outsourcing your back office functions<\/a> might free up your time enough to help bring in extra business?<\/p>\n

Cut Costs<\/b><\/h3>\n

Keeping costs low<\/a> is a piece of advice we always offer new agencies, however the advice really applies to businesses at all levels.<\/p>\n

Taking a close look at your business costs can sometimes be eye-opening, as due to the nature of service subscriptions, you might find yourself still paying for things you no longer use.<\/p>\n

Review each cost you incur each month and decide whether it can be removed or if you could find a more affordable alternative.<\/p>\n

Use an Accounting Service<\/b><\/h3>\n

Though one way to save costs is by doing your accounting work yourself, it can be extremely time-consuming.<\/p>\n

Not only that but the slightest error, or delay in payment, could mean you end up paying more than you ever bargained for.<\/p>\n

Here at New Millennia we offer an accountancy service<\/a> specially designed for recruitment agencies.<\/p>\n

You could choose a standard package, including a range of services, such as the preparation of financial statements and your self-assessment return, or opt for a bespoke package designed around your needs.<\/p>\n

Keep it Strictly Business<\/b><\/h3>\n

Whether you decide to use the services of an accounting company or do everything yourself, it\u2019s essential that you keep your business and personal finances separate.<\/p>\n

When working as a sole trader operating your own recruitment agency, it can be tempting to just use your own personal account for business transactions.<\/p>\n

However this can quickly get complicated, and prove to be much harder to keep an eye on exactly what is coming in and going out each month.<\/p>\n

Increase Your Fees<\/b><\/h3>\n

Increasing your fees is always difficult when you\u2019re just starting out, but when you\u2019ve become established it\u2019s something you can definitely consider.<\/p>\n

As long as you can prove your value and why you deserve a higher fee, many clients will at least be open to considering the increase.<\/p>\n

Choosing the right timing is of course so important, however if you hit that sweet spot you can see a financial boost for your recruitment agency.<\/p>\n

Look at Your Cash Flow<\/b><\/h3>\n

Having cash flowing smoothly into your business, will give you the confidence you need to keep going even if you suddenly find yourself without a fee that you expected.<\/p>\n

There are a number of different strategies you can implement<\/a> to improve cashflow within your business.<\/p>\n

These include offering an incentive for early payment and enforcing late fees for those payments that never arrive on time.<\/p>\n

Keep a Close Eye on the Bigger Picture<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ensure you always know the financial status of your recruitment agency, so nothing comes as a surprise.<\/p>\n

You should have a set target for each month and then a yearly target to help you stay on track.<\/p>\n

Assessing where you are against your yearly target each month, enables you not to lose faith when you have a less successful month than you\u2019d initially hoped for.<\/p>\n

It also means that when financial downturns inevitably happen, due to either external or internal factors, you\u2019re able to react quickly and protect your business.<\/p>\n

Consider Recruitment Finance<\/b><\/h3>\n

Recruitment finance<\/a> can be one way to boost the financial state of your recruitment agency.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re supplying temporary staff to a company, then recruitment financing provides the funding to pay your temps and yourself, before you\u2019ve received payment from your client.<\/p>\n

At New Millennia we\u2019ll then collect invoices directly from your client so there\u2019s no waiting and no hassle.<\/p>\n

With your own bespoke portal for temps to upload their timesheets and a specialist team handling all the back office functions<\/a>, it can improve many of your business processes.<\/p>\n

There are no minimum fees or set up costs, plus no personal guarantees are required, making it a low risk way to boost the financial status of your recruitment agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
