As UK tradespeople try and pick the detail that affects them from the government’s autumn budget, business owners nationwide are preparing for potential shifts in tax rates, regulatory adjustments and potentially more complexity in compliance and operational costs.
While business owners are no strangers to change, government budgets can leave them facing tighter margins, rising costs, and increased administrative demands. But whatever this budget may bring, Fergus says job management software can offer a lifeline, enabling UK trade businesses to maintain control, stay profitable, and streamline their operations—despite any governmental shake-ups.
“Job management software is designed to simplify, organise, and empower trade businesses. From forecasting cash flow to accurately tracking costs and streamlining invoicing, it is crafted to help business owners optimise profitability even in unpredictable economic conditions,” says Mark Bartels, Fergus CEO.
One of the primary concerns surrounding the new budget is the potential for adjustments in taxation and business regulations. New taxes or increased rates can hit a business’s bottom line, especially when already facing pressures like rising supply costs. Fergus enables users to keep a close watch on their financials with real-time profit tracking across all jobs, whether routine maintenance or larger projects.
“Fergus also features powerful, built-in analytics, providing clear visibility into the performance and profitability of every project. This feature means that any shifts in taxation rates can be accounted for immediately, allowing business owners to adapt their pricing strategies without compromising margins. With Fergus, you can see how each job performs, understand where profits are being made, and make data-driven decisions to respond to external financial pressures effectively,” says Mark.
“Whatever the Chancellor delivers in the budget, employing job management software like Fergus equips UK tradespeople with tools that prepare them for profitable, resilient operations. From forecasting future cash flow needs and cutting down on unnecessary expenses to providing visibility into high-margin projects and automating complex administrative tasks, Fergus is more than just job management software—it’s a solution designed to keep businesses successful, efficient, and financially stable.”
