The power of 1%: small changes = meaningful results.

You don't always need a big change to make a difference to your business.

Imagine your business has annual sales of £2 million. Even just a 1% increase in sales would give you an extra £20,000 per year.

So, how would we tackle this at CRC?

We'd start by looking at your numbers to understand how your business is performing, identify where there may be opportunities to improve and help you decide which changes could have the biggest impact.

Small improvements elsewhere could make a difference too:
- Pricing: Reviewing your prices to better reflect rising costs.
- Costs: Finding £1,000 a month in unnecessary spending could save £12,000 a year.
- Productivity: Saving just 30 minutes a day could free up more than 120 hours over a year.
- Profitability: Understanding which products or services generate the best margins.

If you could improve one area of your business, where would you start?

What does a £2-an-hour pay rise really cost a business?

One client was considering increasing hourly pay to remain competitive.

£2 doesn't sound particularly dramatic.

But across approximately 589 working hours each week, the annual impact quickly becomes more than £60,000.

That's before considering any associated employment costs.

The question therefore wasn't simply:
"Can we afford to pay another £2 an hour?"

It was:
"What needs to change elsewhere in the business to fund it sustainably?"

That's the difference between recording the numbers and using them to make better business decisions.
