Discounts for your success (advertising)!

If you are struggling with the consequences of a crisis, be it of a financial or personal nature, or if you are planning your company for the long term successfully If you want to lead, then we will give you some tips today:

1. Draw up an honest roadmap out of the crisis - list debts, costs for the next few months, expected sales. We realize that a lot is difficult to predict. But at least everything that has accumulated, you can relentlessly add up.
2. Try to reduce costs in the longer term too. Especially those who currently have more time should use this. The situation invites you to "muck out". Bank fees in particular have risen sharply in the last year (although that has nothing to do with Corona). Find a free or inexpensive bank for your company. Check membership fees in associations, etc., newspaper subscriptions and similar ongoing obligations that do not have to be. Keeping costs down is one of the success secrets of successful entrepreneurs.
3. Talk to your tax advisor and take advantage of all government support options that are available. Be persistent but honest. Nowadays, many tax advisors seem to forget that their name also includes “advisor” - ask for advice on what you can and should do.
4. Negotiate tax deferrals, suspension of advance payments, etc. with the tax office - more is possible here than most people think.
5. Make sure that your reserves are built up again in the future. Bit by bit. Until the Corona crisis, the rule of thumb was "three to five monthly needs (expenses + own salary)". This is exactly what we advised our independent clients - from doctors to coaches to management consultants. In the past, a quarter of a year was considered to be the period in which the lull could prevail. Now we have all seen that crises can be much longer and, above all, completely “externally controlled”. Extend this rule of thumb to 12 months in the future. From the moment sales pick up again, save part of your sales month after month in a separate overnight money account for your emergency reserve.

Conclusion: emerge stronger from the crisis

In summary, it can be seen that the right strategy can help start-ups, small business owners, self-employed persons and medium-sized companies to protect themselves against crises and to secure their families and their companies.

We hope that in the end you will emerge stronger from every crisis and benefit from the growing needs of your customers and, thanks to better financial management, are in a better position should a crisis of this magnitude ever arise again.
