Why you need a franking machine at the office
You may think that a investing in a franking machine is a little of an over the top luxury for your business. You may not think you post in high volumes, or that you know the weight of what you post so you simply need to stock up on stamps. However there may be advantages you have not thought of.
First of all, it can save a business money. The Royal mail significantly discounts post that is franked and has done for the last three years. So even small business can buy or rent a franking machine and save quite a bit of money over the course of a year.
Franking machines reduce waste. For those times when we slap two stamps on a letter just to "make sure" we've put enough postage one. When a franking machine is used, only the exact postage is needed, and on top of that is a discount!
Often people will over stamp when they are unsure of the weight. They will stick enough on there to ensure that the post goes through to get the job done despite the fact that it's a waste of money. With a franking machine, this never has to happen as the machine weighs the post so the business only pays for what it's posting, and no more, and at a discount!
Businesses, especially small ones, are always striving to look professional and give off a good image. A franking machine will only add to that professional image and ensure the quality of the post that is sent out.
As franking machines keep a record automatically of postage costs, they come in very useful at tax time so the company can claim their full expenses back on their tax returns. It's also a great way to simply keep track of postage costs and help with general accounting.
