5 Numbers Every Business Owner Should Know 📊

You don't need to be an accountant to understand the financial health of your business.

But there are a few key numbers every business owner should keep an eye on:

✅ Turnover: How much income your business generates
✅ Gross profit: What's left after the direct costs of making a sale
✅ Net profit: What's left after all business expenses
✅ Cash flow: The money moving in and out of your business
✅ Outstanding debtors: Money customers still owe you

Looking at these figures regularly can help you identify problems earlier, make better decisions and understand how your business is really performing.

Don't wait until your year-end accounts to understand your numbers 💡

Why Can a Profitable Business Still Run Out of Cash? 💷

Profit and cash flow aren't the same thing.

Your business might look profitable on paper, but that doesn't necessarily mean the money is available in your bank account.

Cash flow problems can happen when:

❌ Customers are slow to pay invoices
❌ Large expenses are due before income arrives
❌ Too much money is tied up in stock
❌ The business grows faster than its available cash can support

That's why keeping a close eye on your cash flow is just as important as monitoring your profit.

Regular cash flow forecasting can help you spot potential shortfalls early, plan upcoming payments and make more informed financial decisions 📈

Need greater visibility over your business's cash flow? Our team is here to help.

Employee benefits are great for your team, but they can also create additional responsibilities for your business 💡

Company cars, private medical insurance, low-interest loans and other benefits in kind aren't simply added perks. Depending on how they're provided and processed, they can also have tax and reporting implications.

That's where P11Ds come in.

A P11D is used to report certain taxable employee benefits to HMRC when they haven't been processed through payroll. Employers may also be responsible for Class 1A National Insurance on the value of those benefits.

The challenge is that as businesses grow and their employee benefits evolve, it's easy for reporting obligations to become more complex.

Understanding what needs to be reported, keeping accurate records and knowing your deadlines can help prevent avoidable mistakes and penalties.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at P11Ds, including:

✅ Which benefits may need to be reported
✅ Who needs to file a P11D
✅ Key deadlines employers should know
✅ Common P11D mistakes
✅ How Class 1A National Insurance works

If you provide benefits to your employees or directors, it's worth understanding exactly what your responsibilities are.

What Is a Cash Flow Forecast? 💡

A cash flow forecast estimates how much money you expect to come into and leave your business over a set period.

It can help you understand:

📈 When you expect money to come in
💷 When bills, wages and other costs need to be paid
⚠️ Where potential cash shortages could occur
🎯 Whether you have enough cash to support future plans

Rather than simply looking at what's in the bank today, forecasting gives you greater visibility of what could be coming next.

This can help you prepare for quieter periods, plan investments and make more confident financial decisions.

Want greater clarity over your future cash position? Our team can help.
