I'm running a small import-export business and struggling with managing cash flow due to unexpected currency fluctuations between the Euro and British Pound. What hedging techniques are most practical for SMEs to stabilize profit margins?

I primarily deal with suppliers in Germany and customers in the UK, with payments in EUR and GBP. I've tried using simple forward contracts through my bank, but the fees are cutting into my profits, and I'm not sure if I'm timing them right. Are there more flexible or cost-effective methods like currency options or ETFs that could work for monthly transactions under 50,000 euros?
