As a small business owner, inflation is difficult to manage but I try to watch costs closely and raise prices strategically to stay afloat. I look at all my expenses line by line to see where I can save even a little. Everything adds up. I've negotiated with suppliers and some have worked with me by giving partial price holds or extended payment terms which helps. Raising prices is tough because customers are also feeling the pinch but they have been understanding as I've explained our situation.
It's all about financial discipline, getting creative where possible and relying on customer relationships we've built over the long haul.
