Go Paperless at Your Small Business
We’ll come right out and say it: You should take your office paperless, and sooner rather than later.
Yes, it’s environmentally friendly. But even if going green isn’t enough reason for you, you’ll probably be persuaded by a different type of green: cash.
Going paperless can save your small business a significant amount of money in the long run. After all, we’re not just talking about costs for paper, but also ink, toner and the cost of buying and maintaining printer equipment. Totally Paperless estimates that a four-drawer file cabinet “costs $25,000 to fill,” and “costs $2,000 per year to maintain.” Now, think about your future operations. Would an extra $25,000 now and then help out? What about $2,000 per year for every four-drawer file cabinet across your company?
You’re probably not going to see those exact savings, sure. After all, those are merely estimates, and besides – if you’re going without paper, you’ll have to do so via some sort of new system, and that won’t be free. But the benefits are apparent.
Of course, if going paperless were simple and saved you money, every company probably would do it. But it’s not easy, and that’s a considerable hurdle. Different paperwork requires a different set of software or cloud system to manage digitally – an accountant wouldn’t set up their system the same way a construction firm or a doctor’s office would.
That’s where McManamon & Co. comes in.
