Employee Perks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhether you have 5 or 500 people on your staff, there are several employee expenses that must be taken into account when running a small business. You\u2019ve probably already factored in the big things such as salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, and retirement plans. What you may not realize is that there are many more smaller expenses that quickly add up, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paid vacation time, sick leave and maternity leave<\/li>\n<li>Certifications, classes, conferences and training<\/li>\n<li>Office perks like ergonomic seating or Friday afternoon pizza parties<\/li>\n<li>Employee turnover costs including hiring and training new employees\u201d &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiveage.com\/blog\/hidden-costs-small-business\/\">Hiveage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>2. Turnover<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cFailing to invest properly in your employees, providing a living wage, a clean environment, office perks and other benefits can lead to high employee turnover. Furthermore, it costs about\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.waspbarcode.com\/buzz\/good-employees-quit-costing-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one-fifth of a worker\u2019s salary<\/a> to replace that person when they leave.\u00a0 In some industries that cost is even higher.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>Provide perks. It\u2019s more cost-effective to retain good employees than recruit new ones. These perks don\u2019t have to be pricey; benefits such as flexible schedules, telecommuting and casual dress codes can do a lot to boost retention.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to negotiate annually with your health insurance provider so you can better budget for premium costs and other fees.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.waspbarcode.com\/buzz\/10-hidden-costs-running-small-business\/\">Wasp Buzz<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Administrative Costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cUnless you are running your business out of your home, you need to consider where it will be located. Most people anticipate a rent or mortgage when they choose to buy or rent office space, but once you have that space you still have utilities (gas, a\/c, electric, water, internet, phone services, etc.) to plan for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you plan on having any humans work in your office, that also means you need to buy toilet tissue, soap, paper towels, plates, cup, refrigerator, desk, chairs, file cabinets, etc. Another expense to keep in mind is the cost of technology your business will need. That means computers, phones, printers, papers, scanners, fax machines, software for your computers, hardware to store the information, website development and maintenance, and IT consulting (whether in house or out sourced).\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitylogoproducts.com\/blog\/hidden-costs-of-starting-a-business\/\">Branding Beat<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Phone and Internet Bills<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These may be within a predictable range if you\u2019re a one-person business, but once you add employees the costs can skyrocket. Make sure you negotiate group plans and data sharing, or unlimited data where available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut having to pay hundreds per month for a full-service cell phone, with the e-mail, text, and web browsing services you need to keep in touch with your clients out of the office can really add up. In the private employer market, many companies pick up the tab for things like cell phones. But entrepreneurs are on their own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTip: look into your cell phone provider\u2019s service plans. It\u2019s worth an hour to go over every line item with your carrier, and knock that cost down as much as possible. Even so, a good smart phone can cost up to $200, along with $100 or so in monthly charges for all the bells and whistles.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mainstreet.com\/article\/hidden-costs-running-your-business\">Main Street<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Read Related: <\/em><em><a href=\"http:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/blog\/3-biggest-financial-challenges-facing-small-business-owners.html\">3 biggest financial challenges facing small businesses<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Legal Fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cYou never know what\u2019s going to happen. Small businesses are the biggest victims of frivolous lawsuits, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfib.com\/content\/issues\/legal\/frivolous-lawsuits-326\/\">according to the NFIB<\/a>. Bogus and legitimate lawsuits cost small business owners in many ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Settlement costs. While the NFIB reports that settlements are often less than $5,000, they total $35.6 billion annually for small businesses in the U.S.<\/li>\n<li>Higher insurance costs. After being victimized by bogus lawsuits, liability coverage premiums likely increase.<\/li>\n<li>Lost opportunity. The time and attention that owners devote to lawsuits means time and attention not spent on running their businesses.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2015\/09\/hidden-costs-of-running-a-business.html\">Small Business Trends<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>6.

Industry &amp; Association Fees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhen starting up as a small business, it really helps to be connected. A great way to do this is by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehow.com\/how_8089690_join-business-associations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">linking up with a trade association<\/a>\u00a0specific to your chosen industry. Keep in mind, however, that membership to these associations can be costly (upwards of hundreds of dollars for annual fees for membership), so try to be as selective as possible. Hopefully you will join one with loads of potential clients and try to keep the cost down by asking other members other good groups to join.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualitylogoproducts.com\/blog\/hidden-costs-of-starting-a-business\/\">Branding Beat<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>8. Equipment Repairs &amp; Replacements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThings break, and if you still need the equipment, you\u2019ll have to repair or replace them.

Utilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Heating and electricity costs seem straightforward to some businesses, but they can also be unpredictable. If you\u2019re in manufacturing, for example, or have electricity-heavy requirements in-office, like computer equipment, you\u2019re utility bill could jump up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaying for utilities could cost a significant amount of money for business owners, especially those who are looking to open a large scale operation with multiple employees. Large facilities not only require more lighting, but also more heat and air conditioning costs, which could really be especially costly for operations in extreme weather zones.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.bplans.com\/top-5-hidden-costs-to-starting-up-a-business\/\">B Plans<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>10. Online Payment Processors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cDid you know that some payment processors are in the habit of hiding certain fees? If your customers use premium\/reward cards or your company doesn&rsquo;t meet minimum monthly transactions, you could be shelling out more in payment fees than you bargained for.\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some processors charge higher rates, up to 3.9%, for the premium cards that your customers prefer. Say your customer wants to use their frequent flyer or corporate card; you may get hit with a different rate vs. the originally advertised 1.9%.<\/li>\n<li>Some processors don\u2019t disclose what their monthly minimum process requirement or fees are. These fees can typically run $20-$35 per month if you don\u2019t meet the minimum transaction volume. That means you\u2019ll be penalized if you don\u2019t meet a volume target.<\/li>\n<li>Some processors charge a monthly statement fee, whether or not you are mailed a paper statement.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, if you opt to cancel once you recover from the sticker shock of that first bill, you can be hit with a huge cancellation fee because you signed a multi-year agreement to get that \u201cgreat deal.\u201d\u201d &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ca\/webapps\/mpp\/brc\/hidden-fees-online-payment-processors\">PayPal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>11. Growth Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMost, if not all, business owners dream of growing their business empire. Often, this takes strategic expansion plans, but sometimes a growth opportunity may present itself unannounced. In order to capitalize on these opportunities, it is not uncommon for your business to require a sudden influx of capital. While I don\u2019t advise you to account for this in your budget, it is important to be aware of ways in which you could secure business financing in case an opportunity presents itself.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/under30ceo.com\/infographic-10-hidden-business-expenses-and-how-to-finance-them\/\">Under 30 CEO<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>12.

It can also spill into your personal life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u00a0\u00bbOpportunity cost is the cost that you&rsquo;re giving up while choosing to do something else.
