General Administration
This is often forgotten, but.....
- How will you manage the paperwork for paying taxes etc? If you need assistance, you'll need to factor in the cost of that assistance.
- Remember to keep comprehensive records, and in good order. File receipts and paperwork. Take copies of crucial documents. Take back-up copies of any computer generated admin.
- Have a visible calendar and/or diary to ensure you file any important paperwork on time, such as taxes and any legal documents, to avoid fines.
- Be an organized beekeeper, for example, with an appropriate hive painting system.
More Beekeeping Business Tips
Hopefully you will be able to keep your set up and business running costs to a minimum.
- With a bit of luck, you won’t be renting property, but if for any reason you must rent space, then try to ensure favourable terms and conditions. Avoid arrangements that will be difficult to get out of, that demand penalties for early termination of agreements or very long notice periods. Also, look out for hidden clauses on lease agreements - especially clauses that are easily missed in the body of the test, or at the very end (or both). Go through the lease agreement with a fine-toothed comb, and check again before signing to ensure no unwanted clauses have crept in to the agreement.
- Check the regulations with regard to beekeeping in your area.
- Is there sufficient forage for the bees?
- Keep on top of payments from customers, and be a good customer yourself.
- Have more than one income stream if possible.
