How Do I Cut Business Expenses During Covid?

Cutting costs by reviewing expenses can help you through these tough times.


We all know that every dollar counts especially during this crisis.


While some business owners are applying for PPP loans savvy business owners are also evaluating where every $ is spent.


Now is a great time to examine all your business expenses. One of those expenses is your credit card processing rates and fees.


Now more than ever, every business owner is taking credit cards as their main form of payment for touch-less, non-contact service. We found a credit card processing bank that is offering free reviews of credit card processing rates and fees. If they can't beat your current rates and fees, they will pay you $1,000*. Who couldn't use an extra $1,000 right now? U.S. Bank Payment Solutions says they are confident that they can beat most rates because they are a direct servicer, no middleman to pay. We also found they don't even require you to have a bank account with their bank. 

Some other expenses to consider reviewing are insurance premiums, security services and payroll services. Many business service providers are offering some of their regularly priced services at no cost or deeply discounted, you just need to ask. 

First Choice Business Brokers is helping business owners arrange for their credit card processing rate and fee reviews at no cost.


We want to help you save every $ you can!


*Meet or Beat terms and conditions may apply.

There is no obligation, you have nothing to lose by having a review of your current credit card processing service rates and fees.
