Financial Planning

Money is the lifeblood of any business, yet cash flow is often ignored until problems occur.

Clear financial planning and effective monitoring systems will have a positive impact on your income and the decisions you make about your business.

Even basic systems will enable you to:

  • be confident about what’s happening to your cash flow
  • make better informed decisions
  • feel more in control
  • plan effectively for your short, medium and long term business needs

Finance can be a sensitive subject. Not everyone who runs a business is confident with figures and revealing information about sales margins and profitability requires confidence and trust.

When you begin work with One to One Business Support I sign a confidentiality agreement with you, to make sure we can look frankly at:

  • cash-flow analysis – the highs and lows and why they are happening
  • cost of sales – the true cost of all your activities
  • profit margins – a price list that maximises income
  • monitoring – systems that keep you constantly up to date
  • invoicing – efficient procedures and record systems
  • payment terms – ensuring they reflect your cash-flow needs
  • debt collection – collecting payment as quickly as possible
  • sales and marketing – timing the activities to create an even cash flow
