Here's a relaxed and upbeat podcast from lockdown. 

After helping top executives at some of the biggest companies in London discover yoga and pilates, Amanda transferred her business to Hampshire three years ago. After expanding from village hall to a residency in a health club, her audience was growing organically... Then COVID hit. When the shutters fell on 16 March 2020, it was a real shock, but Amanda turned her business around in hours. By talking to colleagues, looking after clients and researching her options, technology provided the answer...

A great discussion on small business growth and thinking. From analogue to digital... From Hampshire to the world? 

"What have you got to lose?"

In this episode we catch-up with Kate Tompsett from Series 2 earlier podcast to see how her small shop fared after the first lockdown eased.  The spring restrictions gave Kate the chance to develop the digital side of her business and as she puts it, "take control destiny her destiny a little bit more". 

While a significant loss was face-to-face contact with her customers, her shop Happy & Glorious benefitted from great local support, and she's found new routes to feedback that's proved invaluable.  Every sale makes a difference! Catch Kate's view on the support offered to small businesses during the pandemic and what she's learned from this year of lockdowns so far.

Amaiz talks to Clara Lee of Claraty Consulting, a business that's all about helping other businesses concentrate on what they do well. Unfortunately, as vital as it is, that's rarely bookkeeping. You may recognise the horror stories mentioned here: Unruly accounts, spikes of receipts and boxes of invoices. Clara explains how getting on top of a business' bookkeeping soon helps day-to-day admin to drop, and why the chaos of not having a separate business account isn't worth it. No business owner needs to miss a deadline or provide the wrong information when there are solutions. Communication is critical. 

During Lockdown, Amaiz introduced Additional Access so that no business owner risks being left isolated from partners or accountants as important deadlines loom.
