5 Tips for Financing Your Growing Business

In today's ever-evolving business landscape, every penny counts. As a small business owner, you're likely familiar with the constant struggle to maintain profitability amidst rising costs and inflation. Your accountant might have even mentioned the need to bolster your bottom line. So, what can you do to alleviate some of this financial pressure? Look no further than your office equipment. Picture this: Your desktop multi-function printer runs out of toner yet again. The receptionist approaches you with the all-too-familiar request for the corporate credit card to purchase toner from the local office supplies retailer. Each time, it feels like you're watching your hard-earned profits dwindle away with every transaction. But what if there was a solution that not only saved you money but also enhanced your printing capabilities and streamlined your office workflow? Enter PrinterWorks West and their offer to upgrade your current ink or printer to an A4 HP MFP (Multi-Function Printer). Let's break down the numbers to see just how much you could save: The Current Situation: You're using a Brother MFC-L3770CDW from Staples. Average Monthly Volume (70/30): Monochrome: 2,000 pages x $0.04 = $80.00 Color: 600 pages x $0.18 = $108.00 Total Monthly Cost: $188.00 Total Cost of Operation over 5 Years: $11,280.26 The Upgrade: With an HP MFP, here's what you could expect: Average Monthly Volume (70/30): Monochrome: 2,000 pages x $0.01880 = $37.60 Color: 600 pages x $0.10747 = $64.48 Total Monthly Cost: $102.08 Total Cost of Operation over 5 Years: $6,124.80 The Savings: By upgrading to an HP MFP, you could save a staggering $5,155.46 over the course of five years compared to sticking with your current setup. But savings aren't the only benefit. With PrinterWorks West, you'll also receive top-quality professional equipment, free pages with a managed agreement, and top-tier customer service. It's a win-win situation for your business In conclusion, don't let outdated office equipment eat into your profits. Take control of your expenses and invest in a cost-effective solution that not only saves you money but also enhances your productivity. Upgrade to an HP MFP with PrinterWorks West today and watch your bottom line strengthen like never before.
