Comfortably, one of the biggest pains being in business is getting to grips with finance and business numbers. You have got not only the jargon but the dreaded numbers to deal with. My USP is that I genuinely understand how difficult entrepreneurs find this area and how confusing (and expensive) most accountants seem to be.
My Essential Finance Toolkit is based on a simple philosophy: make it practical, easy to use and affordable. (For example, my glossary which is part of my free resources, has less than 30 words and is not in alphabetical order but in the order you will need to use the words.)
My mission is to make sure no one has an excuse not to understand the Essentials - Companies don’t go bust because they run out of cash – that’s the symptom. Companies go bust because of issues of pricing, margins, overheads, working capital and funding method. You will learn all these and more from my toolkit to create a winning business model.
Essential Business Finance Workshop
The Essential Business Finance workshop at the British LIbrary is a practical workshop which helps entrepreneurs understand the numbers and gives them the tools and knowledge to create their own forecasts in the workshop.
e-Workbook
Scheduled for launch in June 2011, this is like an e-learning course on the Essentials – but faster.
Talk Money Video
If you can’t come to my workshop, this 90 minute video will give you the knowledge and confidence to ensure you don’t get caught out by the Dragons.
Business Templates
These are my own templates which will help you avoid re-inventing the wheel and also save you lots of money. To get a firm of accountants to do these for you would cost £100′s.
