If you had a Finance Director, they would predict your Fixed Overheads.  

…so could manage where you are going, not just where you’ve been.  

My last post highlighted Gross Profit as the true income of a business. From this is subtracted Fixed Costs which are embedded, cropping up relentlessly regardless of sales volume. So, I challenge, justify and advise cuts for any cost making no contribution to your top and bottom lines. I structure your reporting systems to track these and ensure that we only spend your money on things that have a provable benefit to the business.  

I usually find 25% savings which add directly to Net Profit.  

My next post deals with Net Profit, the all-important outcome of good trading.  

Meanwhile, if you don’t have a FD, call me. I’m a fraction of the cost, and I work on the basis that every £1 you invest in me delivers at least a £3 return.
