New Founders Finance Considerations
Manage episode 421065727 series 3529387
In this episode, I’m thrilled to be joined by Chris Lang, the Founder of Flash Partners Limited, a company that provides in-sourced finance functions for small and medium sized companies in the marketing communications industry.
In this conversation, Chris and I explore what new founders and startups need to consider from a finance perspective and provide some tips and tricks that startups and small businesses need to consider around finance.
🌟 Some of my favourite parts were:
✅ Chris’ mantra that cash is king and how it is the unexpected bill that can often be a company’s downfall;
✅ How running both a 12-week and an annual cash flow forecast will help to manage those short and longer term cash flow bumps in the road;
✅ The signalling that HMRC are making that Corporation Tax will be coming payable more frequently than the current annual payment dates;
✅ How it is the company stage in its life and growth cycle that determines the complexity of a business’s systems, processes and management reporting;
✅ The importance and need for timesheets as soon as you have people employed to work on client work, so you understand what is going into what you are selling
