The Business Cost that Everyone Forgets

There’s a business cost that everyone forgets.

When you run a growing business, you need to keep a close eye on costs and cashflow. Especially right now, when the price of everything is shooting up.

You’re probably paying attention to the amount you spend on staff, supplies, marketing… even coffee!

But there’s one cost that a lot of people don’t consider. We’re talking about the cost of DOWNTIME.

Downtime is when your systems go down – for whatever reason – and your entire team can’t do what they need to do.

Work grinds to a halt. Productivity falls off a cliff.

If your internet access is gone AND your phones don’t work, you can’t even get in touch with your clients to let them know you’re having issues.

In extreme cases, your data might be at risk.

And whether the downtime lasts for 20 minutes, 20 hours, or 20 days, it always takes extra time to get everyone working at the right pace again.

Do you have regular downtime? Call us. Let’s get that fixed.
