Passion into Profit: Financial Tips for Your Business

Here’s how to maximise profits while doing what you love

Whether you’re crafting as a hobby, running a side hustle or scaling up to a full-time venture, managing your finances wisely is the key to long-term success.

Here are some simple yet effective financial tips to help you maximise profits and keep your business thriving.

Track Every Penny 🪙

Keeping a close eye on your income and expenses ensures you are always on track of your comings and goings.

Use a simple spreadsheet or accounting software to log your purchases and costs, including ingredients, packaging and shipping, so that you can price your products correctly and identify areas for savings.

Price for Profit, Not Just Sales 📈

It’s tempting to set low prices to attract customers, but this can lead to undervaluing your work.

Make sure to factor in all costs, such as your time, tools, and marketing, and then add a reasonable profit margin. A pricing formula like (cost of materials + labour) x markup, can help ensure sustainability. Watch Jay’s helpful YouTube tutorial HERE for more information.

Buy Smart, Save More 🧠

Sourcing high-quality ingredients at the best prices is crucial for maximising profits.

Buying in bulk, taking advantage of discounts, and working with fairly-priced suppliers like us can help reduce costs while maintaining product quality.

Plan for Growth 📝

Set goals for expansion, such as introducing new products, improving branding or increasing sales channels.

Saving a portion of your profits for reinvestment will ensure your business keeps moving forward.

Stay on Top of Legal and Tax Requirements 🧑🏼‍⚖️

Registering your business, keeping records and understanding tax obligations are essential steps for financial stability.

If in doubt, seek advice from an accountant or business support services such as GOV to ensure you’re meeting legal requirements while keeping more of your earnings.
