Third rate hike this year.
Every business owner in Australia felt that.
The cost of doing business just went up. Again.
Rent is higher. Wages are up. Suppliers are passing on their costs. And the cash rate is now sitting at 4.35%.
So when money is tighter than it has been in years, the question becomes:
Is every dollar leaving your business at least doing something useful on the way out?
Because if your payment setup earns nothing, that is a choice that gets more expensive every time rates go up.
Follow for smarter business spend strategy.
