How Small Businesses Can Save 10% on the Supplies They Need to Succeed

Coffee. Snacks. Printer paper. Disinfecting wipes. Light bulbs. Charging cables. Replacement monitors. Corrugated boxes. You name it, there are countless recurring items a growing business needs to keep the lights on and empower employees to do their best work.

Luckily, there’s a simple way for small businesses to get everything they need while keeping costs low: switching to Amazon Business. If you’re like many entrepreneurs who are moving forward at the speed of light and don’t think you have time to sign up for something new, the process of creating an Amazon Business account couldn’t be easier.

First, go to business.amazon.com or download and open the Amazon Business app on your device. Click the “Create free account” button and fill in details such as your name, work email, and create a new password. Once Amazon Business verifies your business, you’re ready to start shopping and saving.

With Amazon Business, you gain access to a vast inventory of millions of items—everything from common consumer goods to industrial, medical, and office supplies. You also get business-only pricing, meaning you see lower prices on many items and can score exclusive deals that aren’t available to standard consumer accounts.

The savings continue to pile on when a business schedules recurring deliveries and purchases in volume with tiered bulk pricing. On average, companies can save about 10% when shopping with Amazon Business.

Saving money is just one benefit of being an Amazon Business customer. Here are three more that should get any business owners’ attention:

Keeping business and personal shopping separate

Let’s face it, as an ambitious solopreneur or even as a growing small business, it’s important to have financial clarity about cashflow—the money coming in vs. the money being spent.  It’s difficult to keep close tabs on expenses when you’re using personal accounts and/or personal funds to purchase business supplies.

With Amazon Business, it’s easy to keep business and personal shopping separate. Plus, when tax season comes around, having expenses separated makes filing much easier. Better financial clarity makes it easier to budget and, hopefully, tracking profits.

Centralize all business purchasing to one place

If you or an office manager are sourcing office suppliers from multiple marketplaces, then you know how time consuming and sometimes how confusing that can be. Trying to keep tabs on where you buy what and which source has the best prices can be exhausting.

Amazon Business customers enjoy a centralized shopping experience all in one place. With so much inventory, you may not need to go anywhere else. And having access to Business Analytics, you get valuable spending data such as itemized procurement data, downloadable reports, and monthly spending summaries.

Simplify buying by adding team members to the same business account

Are you the only person who is responsible for purchasing office supplies at your business? If an office manager or another employee needs the ability to buy things, you can save time by adding team members to a single Amazon Business account.

Doing so eliminates at least a few potential headaches: employees buying from multiple sources, paying different prices for the same item, handling employee expenses reimbursements, and more. With Amazon Business, you get a single source for everything anyone at your business needs and a single dashboard to track your spending.
