Business Climate

Post by ksl » Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:44 am

Would like to hear if other business is feeling the effects of rising costs?
Just for a general picture of the climate here!

Think we have seen an increase of 15 -20%

half of one percent? that was taken away from us a couple of years ago? that's not an increase in costs, just an decrease of the change that went into the director's pockets.

We're not coming up against many problems associated with rising costs..... just a lower business volume :(

I don't know if that is a result of my clients feeling the effects instead, though, in which case my indirect answer would also be yes I'm feeling the effect.

scoobydoes:just a lower business volume
Interesting, yes i agree business volume is not improving on 2010, Though we are in F&B import, distribution, seeing costs rise on import, food price, fuel, vehicle maintenance insurance and such. ERP charges and parking fees are ridicules and we can only deliver in the day time.
