The Top Boo Programs Every business requires a good bookkeeping program. In order to be successful as a company,

you will have to make sure that all of your finances are in order and that you are on top of all your revenues and expenditures, even the smallest ones. Before, people would have to manually enter the transactions of the day and month of the business. However, thanks to technology, bookkeeping software has been created which allows the businesses to balance their books, reconcile their accounts, and know where all their money is being spent. A superior accounting software presents a chart of accounts, bank reconciliation, double-entry accounting, and reporting so that you are able to balance your books and properly manage your finances. Advanced software will help you invoice your items, track time, and manage your projects, and even better software will teach you some of the accounting fundamentals and give you advice on how to manage your finances.

Xero

This is software for medium to large businesses that need excellent accounting skills to keep track of multiple expenses, such as payroll. Xero offers cloud accounting and has numerous well-developed features such as that of invoicing, expense tracking, and time tracking. You can find all of the features that you need regardless of the plan you are on. It has superb charts of accounts, 65 reports, outstanding bank reconciliation skills and tax support.

QuickBooks online

This is one of the ideal accounting software programs for small businesses. It is cloud-based software that is capable of holding up to five users. When it comes to invoicing, QuickBooks can let you easily customize your invoices using five different templates. You can also auto schedule some of your invoices for the future. One of the most standout features of the software is its “QuickBooks Capital� feature which lets the business know whether they are capable of getting a loan. Other than that it has high-quality skills in expense tracking, accounts payable, class tracking, budgeting, and tax support.

okkeeping s of 2018 QuickBooks Desktop Pro

This software is beneficial for the small to medium-sized businesses that usually have three or less users. It displays strong business management features and also provides a learning curve for all those who wish to understand the fundamentals of the software. With QuickBooks Pro, you can track your expenses, budget, get tax support, manage your inventory, keep track of your debtors and store your print checks.

Wave

This is an accounting software that has proven to be the go-to for small businesses, especially since it is free. It provides the user with all the tools covering the basics of accounting such as invoicing, contact management, bank reconciliation, and tracking expenses. It is very easy to use and also allows a person to record their personal expenses separately from their business expenses. Wave has also partnered with Lending by Wave which allows the business to take short-term loans for themselves.The development of these bookkeeping applications has helped businesses (especially small businesses) earn sustainability and made them capable of advancing.

The process and transaction of ownership of something is very easy to understand.

However, over the years there have been new ways of acquiring and using the product without having to pay full price for them. Items such as heavy machinery and equipment usually cost in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions, which may not be the budget for a lot of the people in need. Hence, the concept of leasing came into the view in which one party “rents” the product from another party for a certain amount of time for a specific amount of money. This amount of money is significantly less in price than the full price.There are some terms and conditions set for these transactions:

Terminologies

When looking at lease contracts there will be some jargon that may be unusual to you in sound and written form. You will encounter words like lessor, lessee, market value, etc.

There a lot of terms that will be present in the contract which you might need to look up before you visit the lessor. You will have to make sure that the lessor does not include words in the contract that are not actual lease terminology as an attempt to commit any sort of forgery. Be clear about ownership Though in the traditional sense lease is all about exchanging money for a person’s assets for a certain amount of time, what needs to be well-known is who still owns the equipment. When you lease a product you do not get the ownership of the product. This means that until you have completed the leasing deal with them, the lessor is responsible for the continuous maintenance of the asset. You will be responsible for using the product for the purposes that you stated and that you keep it safe, but the continuous maintenance would be the owner’s job.

There are some contracts that transfer the responsibility of the maintenance of the equipment to the lessee, as buyout leasing or equipment financing, however, you will need to keep an eye out for those especially if the capability of maintenance of the item may not be within your budget.

Owning or returning the equipment.

Since the lease is an agreement that is of a shorter time-span you will have to make the decision of either returning the equipment to the lessor or buying the equipment from them at the end of the lease term.

vnm magazine 06

What You Need to Know About Leasing Equipment Though this is common knowledge, what you may not know is that you will have to make this decision before you sign the lease. This is because there are different kinds of leases, for example, the $1 lease would mean that the actual cost of the entire equipment will be spread across the term of the contract, is like paying for the item in instalments.

Depreciation.

One thing that you would want to know, but the lessor would not be able to tell you, is the depreciation of the equipment. This will also help you decide whether you wish to own the equipment or return it. If the item that you are currently leasing is likely to depreciate quickly, it will definitely have a lower resale value and it will end up incurring you a loss rather than benefits. vnm magazine 07

Can you be a stay at home mum and create your own business?

Many women grow up with a desire to eventually become an entrepreneur. Whether it means starting their own fashion line, or creating their own catering company, women from around the world have a

burning urge to one day make a difference to the world and to be able to support themselves financially.

So what happens when these women decide to settle down and start a family? The days where they would shop different fabrics and sketch out fashion statements are now replaced by screaming children desperately seeking their mother’s attention. It sounds discouraging doesn’t it? By the time the child is old enough to go to school, the mother has passed the point of wanting to fulfil her lifelong dream of starting a business, and now her only desire is to get a good night’s rest. Of course, she still needs to be financially stable for her family, so she spends endless hours working a job that she finds no passion in, simply to bring in a fortnightly pay-cheque. Soon enough her kids have grown up, moved out, and she no longer feels determined to start a new career pathway. Don’t let yourself fall victim to this trap. Did you know that a study conducted in 2017 showed that there are over 345,000 Australian mums who started their own businesses after becoming a parent? According to statistics, 21% of those mums own more than one business with 84% working solo and having no staff. If that doesn’t sound encouraging enough, take into consideration that 52% started their business in an entirely different field and only 32% were on parental leave when doing so. It won’t necessarily be easy, but these facts show how incredibly beneficial it is for mothers to finally take that plunge. Let us discuss why. If you look into it closely, you will find a correlation between the skills learnt to become a mother, and the skills needed to become a business owner. Things

MONEY

such as prioritisation, delegation, practicality, multitasking, and being able to complete projects on time are only a few of the qualities needed that most mums seem to already have. If you incorporate the day to day chores that a mother encounters, into strategies needed to start your own small business, you will find that you could adapt to the similarities a lot quicker than you would think. And while a lot of mothers may still argue that even if they have the capability of starting a successful small business, many simply cannot afford it. With the increase in childcare, food at the supermarket, and petrol, how can a mother use her spare change to start a business? Don’t these things cost an arm and a leg? Absolutely not. Statistics show that 55% of women used their personal funds to fund their business. That being said, if you begin with a budget and work your way up, soon enough you will be able to grow your business even further through marketing and advertising. Not all businesses will cost you your life savings. With enough research into which direction you are planning to head in and what resources are already available for you, you will be able to determine whether this is something that you will be able to manage on your own. Additionally, if you are finding that the financial strain is a little bit too high, numerous banks have plenty of personal loan options available for you. But the bottom line is that you will never know unless you try. So what are you waiting for?

See our article below on how to take the plunge and finally start your own business.

TAKE THE PLUNGE

START YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Congratulations. You have finally decided to fulfil your lifelong dream and soon enough you will be on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur. But first, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

The most important step in the process is to have an outline of everything you could possibly need. Start by writing out a plan that includes potential business names, your budget, your vision, and any other key information about your small business. Once you have a plan in place the fun will begin!

Remember, these next few steps can be quite tedious so try to make the most out of each step in the process. After endless debates on a business name, pick your favourite one and make sure to apply for an Australian Business Number (ABN). Registering your business name and trade mark will ensure no one will copy your idea. It will also help you look a lot more reliable and trustworthy to future clients. During this process, it is also important you set up social media pages. Whether that be a page on Facebook, a website through WordPress, or a Twitter account, the more activity on social media to promote your company the more likely you are to bring in consumers. The next most important thing is to consider what type of business you are creating. Some businesses need particular licenses to run. If this applies to you, you may want to consider applying for a license as quickly as possible so your journey to entrepreneurship can run a lot smoother. After all licenses and ABN’s are set in stone, you will need to consider whether this small business is something that can be distributed from the comfort of your own home or whether you will need to rent out a vnm magazine 010 small place.

It is important to note that having a home-business can affect how many expenses you can claim on tax. You will need to contact the Australian Taxation Office to discuss all your tax related matters. If you are leasing out a property for the purpose of your business, you need to be aware of the leasing laws before signing any documentation.

See here https://www.business.gov. au/advisory-services for all relevant information regarding business laws.

Now we are aware that some of you may be working solo, but those who plan to hire an employee must be aware of any superannuation fees and information about their pay from the Fair Work Ombudsman website. We understand that these steps can seem overwhelming, but keep in mind that once you have the challenging steps completed, the rest follow smoothly.

Once you have all the back-end aspects of a company sorted, you can begin promoting your business through social media. Note that having a professionally designed logo is known to be more appealing to customers.

You can find a number of illustrators throughout your city by a simple search on social media. After you have set up each communication platform for your business, you may begin advertising.

Claudia May interview

founder of Claudia May Lingerie - Interview This issue, we sat down with Claudia, the founder of Claudia May Lingerie to discuss her business journey, challenges she has faced, potential future plans, and of course what tips she would recommend for those of you who are planning to become entrepreneurs themselves.

We loved having a chat with Claudia and we believe through this interview you will find some insightful information to assist you in the development of your own business.

vnm magazine 012

T

The new social media platform 1. Firstly, tell us a bit about yourself. What made you want to become an entrepreneur?

My name is Claudia and at 19 I founded Claudia May Lingerie, an online luxury lingerie boutique. I decided not to go to university as I wanted to learn about businesses by running one. I watched my Dad run a software business which grew significantly over my teenage years and I knew that one day I wanted to run a business myself. There’s something about seeing other people succeed within their own ventures that makes me excited and I wanted to be a part of that and experience it for myself.

2. Why did you choose the lingerie industry?

What have you found to be the most difficult part of competing within the lingerie industry?

There is actually a story around this. When I was 18 I went to a marketing talk in a city called Bristol with my dad.

He started asking me questions about what I would set up a business in and I said I didn’t have a clue. He then said, “you must set up a business in something you feel passionately about” and my mum had told me off the night before for buying too much underwear so I jokingly said, “oh underwear” and it went from there. After a lot of research and a short stint working for another lingerie retailer, I ended up setting up the business just over a year later. I decided to go into the luxury market after going to my first trade show when I touched a silk nightdress. The quality was incredible and I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I decided that every woman should own something that beautiful. The lingerie industry is a very competitive market. Claudia May Lingerie is a curated collection of products from luxury brands which means there are other retailers who also sell the same products. Fortunately, being in the luxury market there isn’t a competition on price so Claudia May Lingerie stands out with customer service and a very personalised website and branding.Being an online business it takes a little longer to figure out what works and what doesn’t compare to the lingerie boutiques who can see real time customer feedback.

Although the world of analytics is wonderful, you can’t see a customer’s first impression of a product image and that can leave you with guess work about what stock decisions to make in the future.

3. If you could go back in time is there anything you would do differently for the benefit of your business?

I always say that if I did it again I would launch my own line right away to eliminate competition. But I’ve learnt so much through buying and selling other brand’s products and it’s really helping me find a niche in the market. I would also recommend that if you are a small business, build your own website. Be in full control of the part of your business that will drive sales. I outsourced my first website to a development team and I had so many issues which cost the business sales that are incredibly valuable within the first year.

I then rebuilt the website myself on Shopify and it has made such a difference to website traffic and sales and being able to control the main element of the business. I’m not a tech savvy person so if I managed, you can too!

4. Where do you see your business heading in the next five years? What plans do you have in place?

The next five years should see Claudia May Lingerie having a more physical presence with pop up shops. We recently moved to London to see what opportunities would arise from being in the capital so we plan to launch our first pop up shop later this year. This will give us an insight into customers real time feedback. I then want to start the developments for Claudia May Lingerie’s own line. I’m currently debating about whether to start off in nightwear then move into bra and knicker sets. The lingerie market is quite saturated so I want to actually bring out a line of lingerie that has a niche market which could mean inventing a new type of bra.

5. What three tips would you suggest for someone starting out for the first time?

Firstly, never stop learning. You’ll find that you’re constantly learning anyway but always be open to talking to people more intelligent than you and take on board constructive criticism and feedback from others in business and customers. Secondly, always make your customer feel special. Anyone can offer a service or a product but how a customer feels about receiving your service or product will determine how they talk about your business, whether they repurchase or not and how they might even leave a review.

Reviews are left for exceptionally good service or anything below satisfied so always be exceptional.And finally, ask for help. If you’re like me and you’re a solo founder and run a business by yourself, you should ask someone if you can rebound ideas off of them. Ask them what steps you think you should take in certain areas. Working alone can make it hard to be productive when you don’t have someone to stimulate your mind 24/7 so surround yourself with people who you can ask things to and attend networking events to find like-minded people.

We would like to thank Claudia for her time and wish her all the best for her future endeavours. To catch more of Claudia’s work, please visit https://claudiamaylingerie.com.

Advertising now what apps you must have Digital age technology makes advertising your small business a lot easier, but many do not realise how many facilities they have available to them through a simple application on their phone. Social media has so far been proven to be the most effective form of marketing in this day and age. However, keeping up to date with social media posts on multiple web channels can be quite overwhelming for a fresh entrepreneur. This month, I have experimented with an abundance of apps designed to make your business life easier and have picked my top four favourites that I believe will assist you in the best way possible.

Trello Trello makes project management a lot easier for entrepreneurs by providing you the opportunity to either work independently and create to-do lists, organisation boards, or scheduling social media posts, or to assist in delegating tasks to co-workers by granting access to your personal boards, sharing crucial information, commenting on items and videos, or sharing each other’s personal work files. Available for both iOS and Android.

Hootsuite This easy-to-use app allows you to schedule social media posts and distributes them to numerous web channels in just one quick click. The bonus to this, is that you are able to track the analytics of each post with real-time results, trend analysis and team metrics, making it easier for you to keep up to date with which social media channels perform the best for your business. Available for both iOS and Android.

EveryoneSocial

MONEY

Whether you’re working as a team or individually, EveryoneSocial gives employees the chance to share all business-related posts to their private social media networks. In addition to that, the administrator has access to analytics of each and every individual employee to track which content and by who, is drawing in the most clients. There is also a leader board to make work a lot more fun and competitive for your staff members! Available for both iOS and Android.

Buffer Buffer is another great application used to edit and create content for multiple social media platforms through one screen. The benefit of this app, is that it provides you an overview of how your posts are performing, as well as which times throughout the day they seem to be performing the greatest. This can assist you in deciding which time is most suitable to schedule your posts and on which social media platform will it gain the highest amount of audience. Another bonus is that if you’re searching the web and find something interesting to share to your business profile, Buffer’s browser extension packages give you the option to save them directly to your app. It cannot get any easier. Available for both iOS and Android.
