It’s consideration time for travel agency owners

The Travel Industry has taken a knock over the last few months. We have seen travel borders close around the world, bringing travel to a standstill. Now in level 1, it has brought some relief however, many business owners nave had to make some many tough decisions.

Working from home can take time to get used to, but with the right support you can be all set up in no time. We all gained some experience of working from home. Can you imagine going back to work in a retail office environment?

We are all holding out for the day when our skies will open again and where business will return to what we once knew.

Could this time, present an opportunity for you to consider moving your business home? Could this be the solution that you need to stay in the industry that you love?

How about Saying...

• Goodbye to high office rentals and high office utility bills?

• Think about how much money you could save in not needing to pay high office rentals.

• You could save on business insurances.

• You could save on high business utility bills.

• You can say goodbye to the commute. No more wasting hours and hours in traffic, not to mention saving in petrol and your own sanity.

If you moved your business home you could have no office rentals. Your tax advisor can explain more... Did you know that; having a dedicated work area in your home, you can offset part of your home bond/rental and utility bills against tax?

What if you and your travel consultants could all become Travel Counsellors? This would remove the financial pressure of needing to pay staff salaries. Each consultant could start their own business as a Travel Counsellor Franchisee where they would earn commission and it would be up to them to grow their business. Not only would this relieve the financial pressure, it will free you from staff admin like tracking leave, doing performance appraisals etc.
