Providing a flexible approach to service provision for UK NFPs, businesses & organisations
Budget management can be a challenge for any organisation, and many sectors, including independent education, are feeling the squeeze more than ever.
With the end of VAT exemption and business rate relief on the horizon, many education providers and trusts are questioning how they will respond to such budgetary challenges without impacting the communities they serve.
EMPLOYEE RETENTION?
We understand that in times of budget cuts, reducing staff is difficult, and often not desired!
We want to consider an alternative solution:
If you have staff that you value, but cannot retain, we would like to work with you to explore the potential opportunity of transferring affected staff to the Dolphin team. Which would then reduce training costs and, shows a willingness to continue to support valued employees.
How can you ensure that your school has specialist expertise, while effectively managing a tight budget?
One option to alleviate this pressure is to claim back the VAT on business support services such as ours.
HOW CAN YOU BENEFIT?
In a nutshell, our part-time and flexible support team comprises individuals with expertise across admin, design, marketing, social media, project management and more. This allows you to take advantage of their capabilities and experience in a scalable way to suit your priorities as an education provider, without the overhead costs of permanent/full-time employees.
OUR SERVICES
FROM OUR
DIRECTOR
As both a business owner and a parent, I understand the challenges that independent education providers are facing ahead of the planned implementation of VAT on school fees from January 2025.
I have personally experienced the difference independent education can make, having moved my daughter from a local city school on week two of reception. The smaller class sizes, superior education provision, wide range of extracurricular activities and strong parent support programmes like wraparound care, were all key factors in my decision.
However, with the looming VAT changes, the financial strain on schools and parents is undeniable. As a business owner and a parent, I share in the frustration at the potential impact this will have on both school fees and enrolments.
At Dolphin Outsourcing, we believe that through innovation and collaboration, there are ways to lessen the impact of these changes. Our aim is to help schools through this period of transition, ensuring that they can continue to provide exceptional education without significant fee increases.
