Now, let's get one thing straight from the get-go: Running a small business is no walk in the park. It's more like a rollercoaster ride with unexpected twists and turns at every corner.
It’s thrilling, frightening, and sometimes you scream your lungs out in fear. But at the end of the day, you enjoy yourself and keep coming back for more.
If you’ve got a small business or you’re considering starting one, no matter what industry it’s in, you have to be savvy. You gotta spend money to make money, so initially you’ll have to drop quite a bit of moola to hit the ground running.
Beyond the money, running a business is not consistent. Things change at the drop of a hat, so you need to roll with the punches quickly. This is exactly why you need subscriptions. Subscriptions help you manage your finances better and give you greater flexibility to react to whatever life throws at you. Here’s how.
Finances First
First things first, let's talk about cash flow – the lifeblood of any business. The reality of running a business is that your finances won’t be consistent month to month. One minute you're rolling in the dough, and the next, you're counting pennies like a broke uni student. And the first few months of running a business, you’ll just be happy to break even (common wisdom says it takes a new business two to three years to become profitable).
Before you start a business, you’ll need a few tools to help you with the trade. One thing you can’t get away without having is a laptop. A good set of headphones, a tablet, and a quality smartphone are also key so that you can work while you’re on the go. And this is before you even buy the materials for whatever it is you’ll be selling.
All of these items would cost you a very pretty penny if you bought them with cash or credit. But why do that when you can subscribe instead? With subscriptions, you only pay affordable monthly payments instead of a massive lump sum that could easily put you in debt. There’s zero credit involved – and did we mention that you can upgrade or downgrade your products, penalty free?
Plus, all Rentoza subscriptions are bundled with Rentoza Protect, which covers you against loss, theft, or damage. This means that you don’t have to worry about those unforeseen moments that can cause you to spend more. We’ve got you.
With product subscriptions, you can kiss those cash flow woes goodbye faster than you can say "cheque please”. No more sleepless nights worrying about how you're going to pay the bills or whether you'll have enough dosh to launch that new product line you've been dreaming about. With subscriptions, you can breathe easy knowing that you can delegate your monthly finances more easily.
All About Flexibility
Now, I know what you're thinking – "But won't offering subscriptions tie me down?" Au contraire, mon ami! Subscriptions are all about flexibility, baby. Flexibility is a cornerstone of being a business owner. Things change in an instant, and you need to keep it moving or else you fail.
Subscriptions are so valuable for small business owners because we understand that things change. That’s why we let you upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any point.
Allow us to give you an example: Say you subscribe to an entry level laptop when you start your business, but it’s eight months later and your business is performing quite well. You’ve got some extra money, and you want a laptop with better processing power to run your business. Simply open up Rentoza and upgrade your subscription!
In the same vein, if your business falls on hard times and you need to scrimp where you can, you can easily downgrade your subscription to a more affordable device while you focus on recuperating funds.
Running a business is hard, but you don’t need to make it harder on yourself. Where you can find easy ways out, take advantage. Subscriptions act as a lifeline for business owners who need the freedom of flexibility, and the ability to manage your finances more easily. Because things change, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still live your dreams.
Commitment is messy. Just Rentoza it.
