Every $ is not created equal" It's something we talk about to all our clients at Lantern Partners and we're talking about their revenue.$1 of revenue from one product or service is not worth as much as $1 from another. Why? Because the gross margin delivered from that $1 is not the same. And wouldn't you rather be spending your precious resources delivering that higher value revenue? Watch my free Masterclass "Understanding Your Margins" and see what I am talking about! https://lnkd.in/gW-i674w

With economic uncertainty one of the most helpful things you can do for your business is to have a clear outlook on your cash forecast. When we start working with clients this is often the first thing that we do. We hate the idea of businesses flying blind! In that spirit we’re making available (for free!) the template that we often use as a base for our cashflow forecasts. It will step you through all the inputs for a robust forecast, from expected receipts from customers to all payments including supplier expenses, payroll and compliance payments. https://lnkd.in/e6beCkNf

It’s finally here! We're so excited to finally share with you what we've been working on. So what’s going on? We so often hear business owners talk about feeling stuck, or ‘stupid’ when it comes to their business finances. Business owners like yourself, who are anything but stupid. When they come to us, we find that finances are something they’ve been too worried to talk about openly because they’ve felt that “I don’t know my numbers or what I should be looking at.” Or they think “I have an accountant - shouldn’t they be guiding me with my financial choices”. Sure this is true to an extent, but the truth is when you start running your own business you have to “wear all the hats”. Yup - even the finance one. Whatever your original career background there will be some hats that you are not used to wearing. And often for business owners, the finance hat is the most uncomfortable one. But becoming comfortable with your numbers is so important to thriving in your business. From the many conversations we’ve had with business owners over the last 12+ years we know how common these thoughts are. We want to empower business owners to feel confident about their numbers, because when you do, you unlock your business superpower. (And no, it doesn’t have to be scary!)
