Options that flex around your business
Pay-as-you-go models are pretty self-explanatory; you pay for what you use. No more, no less. An example would be, hot desking, or getting help from our virtual experts who can offer support only when you need it. This way of working can be hugely beneficial for businesses right now and here’s why…
Go with the flow
Sometimes business is busy. Sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes a job requires that one piece of software. Other times it doesn’t.
No two days are the same when it comes to running a business, so why are some systems so rigid? With a pay-as-you-go model you can flex what you use, around what you really need.
Cancel anytime
Hit the breaks! We need to press pause on a few things. Sh*t happens (uhh like a global pandemic) and when it does happen, a business has to go into survival mode. That means bringing everything back to basics and spending as little as humanly possible.
You know what makes it hard to reduce your expenses quickly? Cancellation policies. You don’t get those with pay-as-you-go models.
No contract
Contracts aren’t a bad thing — they often make things more secure for you and the other party in the long run. However, contracts often come with terms and conditions which make it more difficult to pivot when you need to. With pay-as-you-go, things are pretty simple — you just pay for what you use.
Set your own limit
There’s a common misconception that pay-as-you-go models can result in some unexpected spending (remember when your parents would tell you off for that broadband bill?). Well, thankfully, things have changed — you can still have the predictability of contracts and subscriptions if you set yourself a limit. This can either be done on your side, or you can ask your pay-as-you-go supplier to give you a nudge when you’re starting to edge close to your budget.
Say goodbye to forecasting fear
Working with pay-as-you-go models can take a lot of pressure off a business’s finances — because they can be step-changed at any second.
Know what you really need
When you’re paying for the exact time you use, it simultaneously gives you a tonne of insight. The more you work with a pay-as-you-go model, the more you’ll decipher a) how much you need that support/tool/office b) how often you use it c) what can be done in-house and what definitely needs outsourced.
Prep for the transition period
Pay-as-you-go models help you to cruise through that transition period, until you’re up and running as you’d like to be.
I think one of the biggest misconceptions of running a business is that it’s all or nothing. You either hire a team or you don’t have any support at all. You work from home, or you tie yourself into a 10 year contract for an office. When really, it doesn’t have to be that way. With pay-as-you-go models, like what we’ve built with ibLE, you can have the best of both worlds when you need it. And why not?
