Saving money is all about ensuring you find any way you can to keep your business’ bottom line under control – do so with the following five tips…

·         Provide Your Own Capital: Your business is never going to succeed if you don’t believe in the power of your idea. Take a risk, trim your personal expenses i.e. trade in your car for a cheaper model, and devote the resulting capital to your start-up.

·         Invest in Online Services: When you are starting a business, you need to find any way you can to generate sales, so that you inject cash into your company. At the genesis of a venture, the most cost effective business model is to sell your wares online, as there are few costs attached to doing so.

·         Trim the Employee Roster: Do you really need a receptionist at this point? No you don’t. If you want to put your business in the position it needs to be in to succeed, avoid making a frivolous hire; trim the employee roster.
