For example, premises costs, professional fees and admin support costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And what if you need to invest in your business? If you do not have retained funds to meet investment costs you may need to borrow to fund the investment. This will increase your costs (interest charges) and require that you produce enough retained profits, as a result of your investment and general trading, to meet lending repayments.<\/p>\n<p>We can help. Call if you need help to consider your planning options. To find a way out of the present difficult trading conditions we may all need to do more than just breakeven.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:smaller\" class=\"im_source\">Source: Other   Tue, 09 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0100<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our previous newsfeeds we have described how<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3514,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[133,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
