Primasia: Company Budget Planning for 2020



Since 1987 Primasia has helped thousands of overseas and local clients set up their companies in Hong Kong and China, including entrepreneurs, consultancies, manufacturers, trading firms, start-ups and SMEs. Our experts have extensive experience in the corporate services industry and provide efficient, responsive and high-quality support to our clients. And now, as we approach the end of 2019, we suggest business owners turn their attention to planning for 2020. Planning the future is always a daunting task, but it’s perhaps particularly worrisome for 2020. The economy is booming- but tariffs, global recession fears, and political upheaval all remain to complicate the forecast for many companies.

No matter if you’re just hoping to hold steady or hoping for expansion in the coming year, proper budgeting can help every business accomplish their goals. So, read on for a couple of budgeting tips to keep in mind as we head into 2020:


Focus on your Emergency Fund
Every company should have an emergency fund for those unexpected costs that pop up, but it may prove even more vital to have in 2020. An emergency fund can help get your company back in action right away after a disaster- in fact an emergency fund may be critical. According to FEMA, 90% of businesses that don’t reopen within five days of a disaster will fail within a year. So, as you can see, planning for the “what if’s” may prove to be the best business decision you can make for the coming months.

Pinpoint what investments return the best ROI
ROI, or return on investment, is something you should consider at every level of your company. ROI is especially important for small businesses or those with limited funds. When every dollar counts, ROI takes on an even greater importance. For example, experimenting with marketing - like social media marketing, or influencer marketing - could make sense for your business. These types of campaigns can build your brand, and help acquire new customers. Be that as it may, there are other forms of marketing that are proven to have a better ROI- like email marketing. Surprised? Research shows that email marketing has the best ROI of any marketing tactic because it focuses on things like retaining existing customers and turning them into dependable buyers.

Take this mindset into all levels of your company. What’s going to have the better ROI this month, this quarter, this year?

ToeSox - Discover the Difference High Quality, Organic Cotton, Better for the Environment



 
T8 Fitness is well-known for being the exclusive seller of ToeSox in Hong Kong, but have you ever wondered why we love them so much? Yes, Toesox are the absolute best in footwear- a must for every Pilates, yoga, dance and sports aficionado world-wide. This is the Sock that changed the workout game with FIVE toes. Five toes are the difference between a good workout and a great performance. But there’s more…
Discover the difference

Holiday season generally means more waste and damage to the environment. While we are by no means perfect, we do take seriously our responsibility to lessen our impact on the environment where we can. One way we do this is by creating (or purchasing) products that are strong and durable. ToeSox understands this and invests in quality, rather than quick wins. ToeSox works on the “premise that if consumers can buy less but buy better, our planet will thank us all.”

We are proud of the fact that ToeSox only purchases organic yarn that is GOTS-certified. This international textile production certification is the toughest organic textile standard, which covers every step of manufacturing- from toxic substances to the way employees are treated.


Certified organic combed cotton is better for our planet- and ToeSox believes it is just as important to put organic on your body as it is to put in your body. “Combed” cotton is softer, higher quality, and more durable than regular cotton thanks to the process of treating the cotton fibers before they are spun into yarn.

Lastly ToeSox is constantly looking for ways to lessen their impact on the environment, which is why their office runs mostly on solar energy. In 2020 they are introducing their most minimal packaging yet, that will continue to be made from recycled materials- they use recycled content wherever possible. It is an ongoing process and one we will take seriously.

So while the Holiday Season approaches, and we can allow ourselves to indulge a little (!), let’s try to indulge responsibly! Click here to have a look at our amazing range of Grip, Dance, Sports and Casual Socks for all your Yoga, Pilates and Exercise needs.

Top Tips for a Healthy New Year


 

The year 2020 is less than six weeks away, with most celebrating (or planning to celebrate) the holidays with a fair amount of indulgence. This may be one of the reasons so many goals (or resolutions) for the New Year are often related to our exercise and nutrition. The expert staff at Iso Fit Hong Kong are here to help you accomplish your fitness goals in the smoothest, safest, and most successful way possible. Our studio is fully equipped with a full range of Pilates and Gyrotonic equipment- we also offer both group classes and private sessions, as well as GYROTONIC® & Gyrokinesis training and rehabilitation.

In the excitement of the New Year’s celebration it's easy to be full of good intentions- you see people flood into the local gyms and get started on a new and healthier lifestyles. Which, for many, doesn’t last very long. People lose their motivation and fall back into old habits and unhealthy patterns. If a healthier you is what you want, keep that desire strong throughout the year. New habits are not born overnight; you have to keep working at them.

TOP TIPS FOR A HEALTHY NEW YEAR:


Find a fitness activity that you enjoy!
Try something new or focus on finding a fitness class that you know you’ll look forward. For example, many new clients enjoy our TRX Pilates Blast- a fun and energetic class fusing Pilates exercises with the TRX! Click here to see our Group Classes.

Take care of your body
Push yourself too hard, too early, and your body may break down on you. Focus on preparing your body for the exercise that you want to perform. A lower impact Pilates workout is great for your health, and easier on the body.

Focus on small achievable goals.
Break your ultimate goal down into smaller achievable goals, this way you can see more immediate progress and stay encouraged throughout the year. For example, if you want to lose 10kgs, your goal might be to lose 0.5kg-1kg per week.

Share your goals with the people in your life.
Having the support of others can both inspire you and hold you accountable. After all, you will not want to tell your loved ones that you have given up. You may even inspire others to join you on your fitness journey!

At Iso Fit Hong Kong our clients always come first, and so we design our services to represent the best value for the money. Simply stop by the Iso Fit studio in Central, visit our official website, or call us to learn more.

La Elite Fashions: Decoding The Holiday Dress Code


 
The best place to shop for a new bespoke suit in Hong Kong is at La Elite Fashions- where every suit is tailor-made *just for you*. Be sure to be well-dressed and stylish at all those office parties, family gatherings and other holiday events by scheduling your fitting today!

Are you confused by what to wear to a Holiday Party? You aren’t alone! Dress code guesswork can quickly kill the fun vibes, which is why we’ve put together the rules of what to wear- from festive to black tie to cocktail attire and office parties.


Cocktail Attire
In simple terms, this is semi-formal wear. Traditionally, men would always wear suits to cocktail parties, but there’s a bit more flexibility these days. Try:

  • A darker suit- with or without a tie
  • Dress pants with a dress shirt and vest.
  • Sports jacket with a pair of non-ripped dark-wash jeans.
  • Accent your outfit with a nice watch, silk tie or pocket square.


Festive Attire
This is a lot like cocktail attire, but with a holiday spin- and a more casual, easygoing vibe. We suggest avoiding the Rudolph sweater but bold personality will love being able to play with colors and festive accents. Try:

  • Play with the colors of the season, preferably in cooler or darker shades of green, red or white instead of bright, saturated hues.
  • If you have a bold personality, go all-in with a festive suit in seasonal colours.
  •  Add an accent with bright or patterned festive socks and/or tie.


Office Party
When dressing for office festivities, be sure to keep your attire professional. The attire can vary depending on where you work, so take your cues from the day to day attire at your office. Try:
  • A blazer, with or without a tie
  • Adding an accent with festive socks and/or tie.
  • Be sure to wear your best loafers or freshly shined shoes- details still matter!


Black Tie
It’s time to get fancy and break out the Tuxedo! These days there is a bit more leniency and a black suit, white button up shirt and black bow tie are typically acceptable- but to look your absolute best a Tuxedo is the way to go. If you really want to stand out, a midnight blue tuxedo or dinner suit is an on-trend way to look smooth for the occasion. For the Christmas Holidays, we might suggest a dark maroon or dark green- ask your tailor for advice!

You will love the amazing variety and perfect fit that La Elite Fashions will provide you. So head on over and visit our shop in Tsim Sha Tsui today!

Visit La Elite Fashions at 1-E, Mody road, Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon, Hong Kong (MTR Exit: N5, Opposite to Holiday Inn Golden Mile Hotel on Mody Road). You can also reach us at 2368 0040, or email laelite@netvigator.com
