This interactive review pulls no punches and tells you as it is.
Profit and Cash Booster is a hugely powerful “what if” tool that creates a virtual model of your business letting you explore the impact and affordability of different commercial scenarios.
More about Profit and Cash Booster:
We simply need a recent set of accounts.
The power then lies in our ability to rapidly identify the drivers of your business – you are pointed towards the issues that matter (and away from those that don’t).
And, in addition, there are a range of intriguing and powerful utilities to explore – which means that you can focus on the things that matter from a cash perspective. You will learn that relatively small changes focused on the right drivers (those with leverage) can have a disproportionate impact on the totality of your business.
And as an added bonus – and because most businesses have an eye on exit values – we can show you some interesting things.
So, for exit planning – or put another way, a common sense approach to an event which is inevitable at some point – we can help you appreciate the impact that different commercial strategies have on how much you might sell your business for. Worth being aware of, at the very least.
One area we regularly explore is the effect of increasing prices. Prices up creates more profit (per sale); if you lose any customers it will probably be the price-sensitive, disloyal ones that cause you more hassle than they are worth. You can afford to lose them because you will probably make more money from the price increase than you will lose in leaving customers. (So more profit for less work).
(We will also explore the converse – and make it crystal clear to you that to reduce your prices is rarely the right thing to be doing.)
And you will quickly understand that only once you have improved your business model – and you are making a decent profit per sale – then, and only then, should you consider increasing the volume of sales.
What next?
- You contact us (phone or send us an email) and we aim to call you back within 48 hours
- We will have a no-obligation conversation to understand your needs
- If appropriate, we will introduce you to one of the team best suited to help.
