Hidden business expenses are no fun, that’s for sure! 🫣

But the good news is, if you know what to avoid, you can work to minimise their impact.

We see so many businesses focus on obvious costs such as wages, tax, rent and stock. 💲

But there’s more to it than that. Among other things, hidden costs can include penalty rates, overtime, workers' comp premium rises, merchant transaction fees, software subscription creep, cyber security incidents, compliance costs, insurance excesses, staff turnover, recruitment, onboarding, and training.

Take five minutes out of your day and ask yourself these questions to see if you’re doing all you can to minimise them. ⤵️

👉 If hidden business expenses are an issue for you, we’re here to help.

Did you catch our last post about new anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing laws and how PTP now has extra legal obligations for certain services?

This means that we may occasionally need a little extra information, depending on your circumstances. Things like:

🪪 Government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s licence or passport
🏡Confirmation of your current residential address
📁ASIC company extracts or other corporate records
🗂️ Trust deeds or other constituent documents
👨🏽‍💼 Details of individuals who own or control an entity
✍️ Evidence of your authority to act on behalf of a person or entity

If so, you might get a request directly from Ignition, our secure client platform, to help with this. And if that's not possible, don’t worry, we'll just reach out directly to sort out another way.

Responding quickly will help keep things moving, and as always, if you have any questions, we’re available and happy to help.

From 1 July 2026, new anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing laws mean that PTP has some extra legal obligations when it comes to things like company or trust transactions and managing client funds.

If this applies to you, we may need to verify your identity and keep a few extra records, as required by law. You might get a request directly from Ignition, our secure client platform, to help with this. And if that's not possible, don’t worry, we'll reach out directly to sort it out another way.

We've put in the work behind the scenes so it's as easy as possible on your end. Any questions, we’re always happy to help.

As a business owner, you can have your cake and eat it too. 🍰

Yes, really! ☺️

But, as any businessperson knows, it’s not easy. The reality is, running a business takes long hours, huge responsibility and financial risk.

By recognising this and being honest about your motivation and goals, you can unlock more time with your family and make more money at the same time. 👫💰

See Joe explain how here. ⤵️
