BALFOURS ALLOCATIONS
Balfours have done this fruit cake allocation and it has been very well received. They are currently looking at making it a regular line that you can reorder and keep on your counter tops throughout the year, especially the colder months.
They are also reviewing the boxing to see if it is possible for these fruit cakes to have their own distinctive packaging so they can sit on the counter. Possibly a bright coloured box of 12 units.

TAX AUDITS
Tax Audit Insurance through ProtectIt Insurance Services - 08-83727100
Over the years a number of members have been through a stressful and time consuming Tax Audit.
It is where the Australian Tax Office decides to go through your businesses accounting practices. They are checking to see if you are recording the money trail accurately and paying your fair share of taxation dollars including Company Tax, PAYG and GST.
It will involve your ACCOUNTANT which becomes very expensive and you will be required to supply the ATO with endless documentation.
To cover your costs and liabilities every member should take out insurance to cover their out of pocket expenses. We feel that TAX AUDIT INSURANCE is a must for all business owners and it is relatively cheap.
ProtectIt Insurance Services have policies starting from as low as $145 per annum for peace of mind.

PFD
We do have trading terms with this company but they aren’t as simple to explain as a straight forward ‘10% discount’.
However on AVERAGE you can expect to receive 10% discount. On some products you’ll receive far more than 10% discount whilst on other lines you’ll receive little or no discount.
PFD who has been a strong supporter of our group since 1994 has given us this list of products that members are currently purchasing. It is based on our group’s purchases and shows the top 24 lines.
