One of the challenges facing the mobile notary business is trying to keep costs down, a feat not so easily done with ever rising gas prices and 200 page E-doc files. What follows are 3 cost cutting tips that will help your mobile notary dollars go further.

1. Buy a Laser Printer

When making a purchasing decision with a printer, don’t go out and buy the cheapest ink jet printer you can find. It might seem better to save yourself a few hundred bucks by buying that $99.00 printer over a good quality laser printer but the truth is your cost per printed page is cheaper with a laser printer. That all adds up when you’re printing a few thousand pages of loan documents each month. Plus there is nothing like the speed and ease of a dual tray laser printer when printing out e-docs at the end of the month. Just ask any mobile notary signing agent that’s been around for awhile.

2. Get a new phone service

There are many choices in phone services these days for a mobile notary and VoIP is one of the most cost effective solutions available, however it’s not for everyone and you’ll need a high speed internet connection. Some local phone companies are offering good discounts for bundling services. Give them a call and see what options are available to you. If you take the time to research what options are available in your area, you could save hundreds of dollars each year.

3. Buy a Hybrid car

$3.60 a gallon! Say no more. Gas is one of the largest expenses that we incur as a mobile notary. Buying a hybrid vehicle makes sense. This is a long term purchasing decision, and if you know that you’re going to be a mobile notary for years to come, a hybrid car could be quite a benefit to your long term business objectives.

Being a mobile notary can be a very costly business, but if you take the time to think ahead when making purchases you will see more mobile notary service dollars in your pocket.
