FAQs
An ecommerce or retail business doesn’t have to have an accountant but it’s a very good idea. The monthly cost of retail business accounting isn’t much and the value is more than made up in avoiding mistakes and the insights and financial information you receive to help you grow your store.
Loss prevention in retail is taking proactive steps to reduce loss in your retail environment. Retail stores often lose money through common problems than can easily be prevented, such as theft, shrinkage, human errors and wastage.
Your final retail selling price should cover the cost price of that product and leave enough margin to contribute towards operating expenses (rent, utilities, insurance, etc) plus leave some profit for yourself.
