More new businesses run into trouble over pricing and cash flow than almost anything else — not because the idea was wrong, but because the numbers were never properly worked out. If you haven't checked whether the idea holds up yet, start with is your idea viable? first; this page is for once you're ready to put real figures behind it.

What We Help You Work Out

Start-Up Costs

What it actually costs to get going — all of it, not just the parts that are fun to plan.

Ongoing Overheads

The recurring costs that catch new business owners out because they didn't budget for them.

Pricing That Pays You

Numbers that cover your costs and pay you properly — not just what feels "about right."

Break-Even & Cash Flow

The point your business supports itself, and what needs to happen before you get there.

Where This Fits

Planning comes after you've confirmed the idea's worth pursuing (see our 1-Hour Business Audit if you haven't yet) and before you start chasing customers — get the numbers right first, and winning and keeping customers gets a lot easier because you know exactly what you're aiming for. Once you're trading, managing your finances is where this work continues on an ongoing basis.

Questions Worth Asking Yourself

Could you answer these right now?

  • Do you know your break-even number — the point where the business finally pays for itself?
  • Have you priced in your own time, or just materials and costs?
  • What happens to your finances in month one if no customers turn up?
  • Could you explain, in one sentence, why your price is what it is?

These aren't trick questions — most business owners haven't sat down and answered them either. Your free call is where we figure out which of these matter most for you; working through the answers properly is what the ongoing mentoring is for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me write a full business plan?
Yes — though we focus on getting the practical numbers right first, rather than starting with a lengthy document. If you need a formal plan for a lender or funding application, we can help shape one once the numbers are solid.
Do I need a business plan to get funding or a loan?
Many lenders and start-up schemes do ask for one. We can help you put together something that holds up to scrutiny, built on numbers you actually trust.
What if I don't know my numbers yet?
That's completely normal, and exactly where we start. Most people arrive with a rough idea, not a spreadsheet — we build it together from there.
