BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING

Have you ever at times swapped between feeling out of depth the one day to feeling proud of what you have achieved the next? And then repeated the same process a week or a month later? It's normal by the way.

To have a clear plan on paper is always the best way forward for you as a start-up or an existing business if you're looking to grow and expand.

On offer is a 1-page business plan, which we'll compile during a 5-hour session. It will be followed up by a 3-monthly meeting of 2 hours to see how you're getting on. Also, to set 3-4 goals for the next quarter.

I'm so confident in the product that I offer a money-back guarantee if you don't find value on the day.

And now you must wonder what this will do for you?

It will:

• get the plan in your head down on paper and set a clear direction for your business
• point out opportunities and issues, and what you need to do when facing them
• get directors and team members to have the same vision and to focus on the same goals
• show whom and what you will need to reach your goals

ACCOUNTING AND TAX

Do you have a NatWest or Mettle business account and received a free subscription to FreeAgent accounting software? 

Not only can I help you get set up on FreeAgent or transfer your data from another system, but I can also show you around, to help you find your feet.

At Mipacts, we do the year-end accounts, calculate the company tax and your tax. If you want, I can make all your Companies House submissions.

I’ll meet up with you to talk about the results from the past year. For limited companies, I offer a special meeting before the end of your financial year, to talk about the year ahead and ways I can help you.

It will:

• give you peace of mind
• save you time as you will know how to use FreeAgent
• give you a view of the year past and the chance to see how you can do things better in the new year
  

OTHER SERVICES

Cashflow:

Do you never want to have another day of worrying if you have enough? Do you want to sleep easy as you know that you’ve adequately planned and found the extra cash to get you through the dip?

I’ll help you understand the difference between profit and cash. A profitable business can have cashflow problems and not survive, where an unprofitable business can survive because it is well-funded. It might not make sense now, but I’ll explain.

I can help you set up a cashflow and show you how to maintain it, so you’re always on top of things.

It will:

• give you peace of mind
• improve your relationship with the financiers
• allow you to predict and plan for large payments

Marketing Plan:

Do you find it overwhelming nowadays with where the best place will be for you to market your business? 

There are too many options out there. You can’t be everywhere at once. Your potential customers don’t frequent all these places, and you need to find out where do they spend time.

I can help you find your ideal customer so that we can target your marketing spend. Together we can set out a clear 1-page plan of what to do and when.

It will:

• give you a higher return on your marketing spend
• give you a list of actions to improve the current situation
• give you an annual campaign plan to work from

Core values development:

Have you come across the saying “we all need to sing from the same sheet”? Core values, also known as company values, is a set of values and beliefs you want your business to stand for.

We can sit down and work on getting 4-5 final values you want for your business.

It will:

• help with decision-making in the daily running of your business
• ease the selection process for new clients, suppliers and team members
• align the team’s thinking and behaviour, which will reduce workplace tension

Business Recovery Planning:

Very few businesses didn’t feel the effects of Covid-19. If there is only one thing in 2020 you do, I would suggest you get a set-out plan.

It will:

• show you where you need to reduce spending to relieve pressure on cash
• help you understand the minimum amount of sales is you need
• give you a plan on how to make the most of opportunities and how to deal with challenges

Succession Planning:

You don’t want to work forever, but you also don’t want to see your hard work and effort go to waste. And then there is always the unknown or unexpected that may creep upon us.

You need to know that this is a process and not an event, and the earlier you start planning, the better the outcome.

You decide if you want to sell, pass it on to a family member or take a back seat.

It will:

• clarify what you want from your business
• help you exit at the right time so that you will maximise the reward on your hard work
• help your family and loved ones in case of any eventuality

TRAINING & WORKSHOPS

Are you keen to know more and learn more? Do you love technology and how it can make life easier? Are you interested in how to manage and update your cashflow, the basics of accounting and FreeAgent software? 

The aim is to help you save time and feel confident around your business finances.

A couple of workshops take place during the year. It is my way of investing in clients and my local community. If you can’t attend on the day, I’ll aim to have a repeat session in webinar format. Training is free to clients, and there are FREE vouchers available if you want to see if Mipacts is the place for you.

It will:

• save you time as you will learn quicker ways to manage the finance
• grow confidence as you will have the skills and knowledge
• give you more time to spend doing things you love
