Our Services
Understanding the financial needs of your business is not just about balancing numbers—it’s about building a foundation for growth. Our designed services are customised specifically for startups in the UK and are designed to give you the clarity and structure you need to make informed decisions. We offer a range of services that cover all aspects of financial planning and forecasting.
Cash Flow Projections
A common challenge for startups is managing cash flow. Properly forecasting your cash flow allows you to predict how much money will be coming in and out of your business. We will create detailed cash flow models that help you manage daily operations without worrying about running out of funds. These projections will ensure that you’re prepared for both expected and unexpected expenses, giving you more control over your financial future.
- What we provide: A clear and actionable cash flow model that tracks monthly income and expenditure, helping you plan for both short-term and long-term financial needs.
Profit and Loss Statements
Understanding your business’s profitability is key to identifying areas that need improvement. With accurate profit and loss (P&L) statements, you’ll be able to see where your money is coming from and where it’s going. This will allow you to adjust your strategy to maintain or increase your profit margins. We create P&L statements that are simple to understand yet detailed enough to give you a true picture of your financial performance.
- What we provide: A detailed breakdown of income, expenses, and profits, helping you assess your financial health and make data-backed decisions.
Break-even Analysis
The break-even point is one of the most important metrics for any startup. It tells you how much revenue you need to generate to cover your costs. Once you reach this point, any revenue generated beyond it is pure profit. We provide detailed break-even analyses to help you understand your cost structure and when you can expect to break even. This crucial financial insight allows you to set realistic sales targets and track your progress effectively.
- What we provide: An in-depth break-even analysis, helping you set achievable revenue goals and monitor your financial journey.
Business Valuation Models
As your business grows, understanding its value is vital, especially if you’re seeking investors or considering an exit strategy. A business valuation helps you understand what your company is worth based on current financial data. Whether you’re looking to attract investors or find other funding options, we create accurate valuation models that reflect the financial health and potential of your business.
- What we provide: A detailed valuation of your business, helping you understand its worth in the marketplace and making it more attractive to investors.
Financial Forecasting
Building a roadmap for the future is essential for any startup. Financial forecasting helps you predict future revenues, expenses, and potential profits based on a range of assumptions. With accurate forecasting, you’ll have the foresight to plan, secure funding, and make informed business decisions. We provide detailed forecasting services that account for various market factors and internal business conditions.
- What we provide: A financial forecast that covers the next few years, providing a clear picture of how your business is expected to expand and evolve.
Investor-Ready Financial Models
If you’re seeking funding or trying to attract investors, having an investor-ready financial model is essential. Investors need to see that your business is well-positioned for growth and capable of generating returns. We design financial models that showcase your startup’s potential, helping you make a strong case for investment. These models are clear, data-backed, and customized to demonstrate the financial viability of your business.
- What we provide: An investor-ready financial model that clearly outlines your business’s financial health, potential for growth, and return on investment.
