Call suppliers and ask for payment delays on all of your bills... utilities, rates, taxes... ask them all! Dont be shy!

08.01.2022 During these tricky times, paying bills and staying in business can be tough... particularly for those businesses just starting out. One of our biggest business outgoing is rent or a mortgage. If you havent already, I encourage you to strike up a conversation with your landlord, and ask for a better arrangement. If your business is closed- ask for full rent relief. If your business is down 50%- then ask for a temporary rent reduction. For example, ask to pay only 50% of your... rent for the next 3 months. It is in the interest of your landlord to keep you in business, and therefore keep a long term tenant- rather than lose you, and face a period where they havent got any rent coming in at all! If you havent done so already, there is a lovely template "Letter to your Landlord" that you can download- or simply send them an email, or pick up the phone- and get the details in writing later. https://www.businessaustralia.com//letter-to-your-landlord If you are paying a mortgage (or are a landlord, where your tenants cant pay the full amount), & you are struggling to pay your loans- phone to your bank now, and ask to defer any payments. We are all in the same boat here- dont be afraid to ask for help. If you need further assistance, or want to chat to people who are doing this exact thing- feel free to drop us a line here too.
