One Victorian small business is ditching card payments when new surcharge rules kick in.
The reason, Yarra Valley Rides director Scott Bennett tells SmartCompany, comes down to about $9,000 a year.
About 90% of Yarra Valley Rides’ work is invoiced, Bennett says, with jobs typically worth between $300 and $2,000.
