OWNING A RETAIL BUSINESS

BENEFITS OF OWNING A RETAIL STORE

  • You can easily hold sales or issue coupons to drive sales.
  • No accounts payable or receivable.
  • Freedom to have the type of store you want and sell what you want.
  • You can surround yourself with products that you like and are interested in.

POTENTIAL BUMPS IN THE ROAD

  • Large inventory overhead.
  • Location and upkeep of the space.
  • Inconsistent monthly sales.
  • Returned and damaged merchandise.
  • Theft.

Working in retail can make for a very successful career. Employing roughly 14.5 million people, the total sales in this industry in 2011 were $4.7 trillion in the US. This represents an 8% increase over 2010 total retail sales.

OWNING A HOSPITALITY BUSINESS

The hospitality industry is different because, in many cases, you sell a service or an experience. Examples include a hair salon or spa, a restaurant, or a gym. A tangible product doesn’t change hands, but a transaction still takes place. Although different from retail, these industries are often combined. Hospitality accounting includes:

  • Preparing a precise collection of month-end accounts.
  • Budget preparation.
  • Business planning.
  • Creating financial statements and balance sheets.

This is far from an exhaustive list. The accounting needs of a hair salon will still vary from those of a gym. That’s where Numerico comes in. Far from cookie-cutter, we tailor our strategy to your unique concept and goals. The result? Industry-specific solutions tailored to help achieve your business objectives.
