One Stop Profit Management is a practical guide to how organisations can add a £1million to their profits without necessarily increasing sales.

The book focuses on six main areas of business activity (including employing staff, occupying property and improving products or services) and suggests a range of ways of saving money - not simply by spending less, but also by avoiding penalties and compensation payments, improving efficiency and raising productivity. Illustrated using a sample company, each area identifies and charts the savings to be made and costs to be avoided.

The tried and tested One Stop A-Z format presents information in an easy-to-read, non-technical style, illustrated by practical and strategic examples, checklists, short cases and notes.
