Business check: why am I not keeping any money?
Your business is running, the till is ringing, and still too little is left at the bottom line. Or you wonder: am I earning enough, and could I actually grow? The business check answers those questions. I examine your business the way I examine my own, with thirty years of numbers to compare against.
Four questions entrepreneurs bring to me
- Revenue is fine, but at the end of the month there is hardly anything left. Where is it going?
- You work seventy hours a week and pay yourself less than your best employee. Am I actually earning enough?
- You dream of a second location, but you don't know whether the first one is strong enough to build on. Can I grow?
- You feel that purchasing or staff is too expensive, but you can't prove it with numbers.
A review with answers, not a report for the drawer
- A full margin calculation: purchasing, staff, rent and platform costs, per product group where possible
- The leaks: where the money is draining away and what each leak costs you per year
- Benchmark: your numbers next to what is healthy for your type of business
- Growth answer: an honest verdict on whether there is room to grow, and where
- Action list: concrete improvements you can implement as early as next week
From question to answer in two to three weeks
Deliver the numbers
You provide your figures: revenue, purchasing, payroll, rent. If you have a bookkeeper, I arrange it directly with them.
Week 1The review
I calculate everything and spend part of a day in your business, because numbers never tell the whole story.
Weeks 1 and 2Report and conversation
You receive the report and we go through it together, including the action list and what each action delivers.
Week 2 or 3
One fixed price, clear up front
From €950- One location, figures in order: from €950
- Multiple locations or backlogged administration: quote up front
A report plus a follow-up conversation within two to three weeks. Often a single leak found pays for the whole check.
