NSBA Advises Small Business Owners to Review and Evaluate Their Current Company Suppliers

Oct. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Washington, DC – While some costs associated in small businesses are inevitable, some are traceable to certain suppliers. If individual suppliers are adding too many costs onto the sale, it may be time to check-out competitive vendors. As small business owners gear up for a strong growth path in 2012, it’s the perfect time to review your vendor list and do a thorough evaluation. National Small Business Alliance, (NSBA) a company that “Helps Small Businesses Succeed”, offer their Members a full-range of benefits including economic findings, growth strategies, and expert advice on ways to adapt to the ever-changing business market.  
      
“It makes good business-sense to occasionally review and evaluate your vendors and suppliers for your company”, said Robert Williams, Director of Member Benefits. “If certain suppliers are starting to tack on many costs and fees onto their sale, it may be time to check out some other suppliers. However, the number at the bottom of the invoice is only one thing to consider when dealing with your suppliers.” Another key area to review is reliability. When a vendor’s shipments start to arrive late, incomplete, damaged or incorrect, it’s time to consider looking for a new one. “Having closer relationships with your suppliers reduces administrative costs and inconveniences” Williams continues. “Getting new suppliers begins with research and then compiling a list of potential vendors. Ask for quotes or proposals, complete with prices, available discounts, and delivery and payment terms. Then compare and evaluate with your current suppliers.”
