Rethinking How UK Businesses Handle Their Money
Most businesses don't fail because of bad products. They struggle because cash flow becomes a guessing game. We teach practical budgeting that actually works in real trading conditions.
Explore Our Autumn 2025 ProgrammeWe Focus on What Actually Happens in Your Business
Budgeting courses often teach theory that looks brilliant on spreadsheets but falls apart when your biggest client pays 60 days late. Or when material costs jump 15% overnight.
Our approach? We start with the messy reality. Variable income streams. Seasonal dips. That invoice you forgot about. Then we build systems around what your business actually experiences, not what textbooks say should happen.
You'll work with scenarios pulled from businesses trading right now across the UK. And yeah, some months the numbers won't balance perfectly. That's when the real learning starts.
Three Areas Where Businesses Usually Get Stuck
Revenue Forecasting
Predicting income when half your clients pay on time and half don't. We'll show you buffer strategies that prevent panic when payments slide.
Fixed vs Variable Costs
Understanding which expenses you can actually control versus which ones you're committed to. This distinction changes how you make decisions during slow periods.
Growth Investment
Knowing when you have genuine surplus to reinvest versus when you're just shuffling money around. We look at timing and sustainable expansion.
Our Next Programme Starts September 2025
This isn't a weekend workshop. It's a structured programme running through autumn that gives you time to actually apply concepts to your business between sessions.
We keep groups deliberately small. Twelve participants maximum. This means you'll get proper attention when you're wrestling with your own numbers, not just watching someone else's examples.
- Eight evening sessions across September through November 2025
- Case studies from retail, services, and manufacturing sectors
- Template systems you can adapt to your business structure
- Access to follow-up resources through early 2026
I'd been running my consultancy for three years but still felt like I was guessing at numbers every quarter. What helped most was learning to separate what I could control from what I couldn't. Now I've got systems that flex when client work shifts, and I'm not constantly stressed about whether I can cover next month.
