How to tell if your business isn’t working financially and what to do about it

Based on our unique Financial Strategy Road Map – order your free copy here

In short, we help people feel better! We inspire and support our clients to build a business that gives them the life they want now, whilst they’re building their financial security and freedom for the future.

I strongly believe that your business can only be as healthy as you, the owner of your business. After all you’re the most influential moving part in your business and there’s an undeniable link between YOU and the financial performance of your business.

Financial stress and pressure causes a lot of fear, uncertainty and anxiety. The opposite of freedom, and it will stop us living the life we want.

Which is why our coaching focusses just as much on health, fitness and happiness as financial success – you can’t get long term wealth without a healthy balanced life (well you can, but it’s pretty miserable!)

Over the last 25 years we’ve seen how many small business owners with brilliant ideas and huge passions struggle, all because they never cracked the finances. We know what a huge difference it makes when you get even basic financial controls, information and a financial strategy in place.

Finance is a critical skill and no business gets to be successful long term without mastering their finances. And to be in control of your financial future you can’t afford abdicate the understanding of this critical area to your book keeper or accountant. You need to understand enough to know what’s working and when things don’t look right.

But there are just too many things that business owners never get told.

So we train, coach and support our clients to consistently get the financial results they want – getting rid of financial stress and pressure. Creating control and visibility in their business and their life, so they can confidently build financial freedom and the future they thought (hoped and dreamed) owning a business would give them.

We do this through a powerful and unique combination of financial coaching and skills training, practical implementation, NLP business coaching, and our retreat programs.

We’ll help you create a strong and compelling financial strategy, show you what financial foundations and controls your business should have, train you in the financial skills you, your book keeper, and management team need, and create the financial and management information you’ll want at your fingertips to make the best decisions and have visibility of upcoming weeks and months.

So you can build a more profitable business with consistent income, better margins, more bottom line retained profit, and stronger cash flow.

With less stress, uncertainty and compromise.

Constantly building towards the future you thought owning your own business would give you.

“… Yours’ is the only blog I regularly read as I totally get where you’re coming from. What you say resonates strongly with my own thoughts on how a business should run, and be the foundation that enables me to live a better life.”

Many business owners aren’t “in it for the money”.

And I get that, I’m one of them ironically, I’m all about the Mission!

BUT it really matters that our businesses makes money.  Because we’re never going to get to do the things we care about, create the business we know we can, and build the life and security we want if we’re always worried about money and struggling with tight cash flow.

And if we want to create huge value in the world, or create jobs and opportunities for other people then we’ll always be sabotaging ourselves and our business if we don’t work out how our business model consistently makes and retains profit.

As small business owners we make up 99.3% of all businesses and provide 60% of all private sector employment.

So it matters that we do well!

I’m a Chartered Management Accountant, experienced Finance Director, an NLP Coach & Practitioner, speaker and retreat Leader, with 30 years of experience working in and with hundreds of businesses.

In the recession of the early 90s I went through a trio of personal financial disasters, all within 18 months of each other.

• My parents lost their business and home after 20 years in business

• I lost the home I’d so proudly bought when I was 18 (the week before my 21st birthday)

• And the fast-growing £10m business I worked for as an accounts manager went dramatically bust. Hundreds of jobs were lost and lives changed forever as a result.

My parents and my bosses lost everything they’d worked all their lives for and it left me raw and bewildered. I needed answers as to why and how it could have been allowed to happen. So I set out on a mission that still drives me to this day, over 25 years later.

A mission to help business owners get the financial rewards, freedom and lifestyle they thought owning a business would give them.

We work with ambitious business owners who have a passion for what they do, to help them find a healthier, happier and balanced way to build financial success, and ultimately freedom.

We know that most small businesses just don’t work financially; they’re usually missing the financial strategy and insight to tell them what they should be focussing on and improving. They keep doing more of what they’re good at rather than understanding what they could be doing to make their business stronger.

Our clients typically have turnover of between £250k and £10m, and we’ve worked with most business sectors – to name just a few; engineering, tech, retail, franchisors, consultancy, lawyers, e-commerce, event management, vehicle repairs, funeral parlours, trainers, vets, care homes, energy and renewables, recruitment, financial advisors, designers, travel companies and charities.

The training and coaching we do with our clients is specific and results-focused, concentrating on the financial results you want for your business and your personal life. We focus on the critical few things every business owner needs to know, with measurable bottom line cash and profit goals.

Financial understanding; knowing your numbers and having the right financial information gives you the confidence and insight to take control, to make your business work, and give you what you want from it. It helps you build a life you love, with a business that works for you, that’s secure, stable and sustainable.

You know – the life you thought you’d have by running your own business!

We know that most small business owners don’t love finance and would prefer to leave it to the book keeper or accountant, which is why we’ve developed a process over the years; one that works for any business.

We’ve got a way of making finance exciting! By understand a few basics, and having a clear plan of what you want to achieve financially it’s amazing how interesting your finances become to you.  And honestly there’s nothing that complicated about finance.

Using our unique Financial Strategy Road Map we help you bridge the gap between your current financial situation and where you want to be:

• We get to the root of your challenges
• Design your financial future – what do you want both personally and for your business?
• Create a financial road map of the practical steps to get you there
• And we become the ferocious protectors of your bottom line – helping you keep the plans on track to achieve the financial results you want.

If you like what you’ve heard so far, and you think I may be able to help you with some of your challenges, why not get in touch to arrange an informal chat. There’s no commitment or sell (I hate salesy stuff) – we’ll just discuss your situation to see if working together might be a good fit.
