LIMITED COMPANY CHAOS - DO YOU REALLY NEED ANOTHER LIMITED COMPANY?

If you have intercompany loans coming out of your ears and a never ending list of companies you can never get on top of, this one's for you. Less companies, less noise, less fees.

Most entrepreneurs have an overly complicated group structure which sounds good on paper but commercially costs them more than they save.

Do you really need all those companies?

In this episode we are joined by Chartered Tax Advisor, Tej Gill, where we go back to basics and shed a light on what limited companies are and when they are required. The aim of the game is to have a simple set of companies that have all been set up to fulfill a required need.

Keep it simple is the mantra in this one… which is easier said than done.

Listening to this will save you money whether this comes by closing down unrequired companies or setting new ones up that minimise your tax liability.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? SERIOUS ENTREPRENEURS ONLY

Most entrepreneurs totally miss hit the bookkeeping and accounting system in their business and end up reviewing useless out of date data on an ad hoc basis.

If you want to be a serious entrepreneur you need to transition to a finance driven business (not business driven finances) no matter if you are just starting out or an established national company.

This solution is simple, cost effective, and absolutely game changing. If you are looking to make more money, leverage your time, feel in control, draw more cash, make bigger / better decisions, or build a highly valuable business this is for you!

There are three stages, four professionals and three pillars. In this episode we give you the knowledge and insights on how to take your finances and company to the next level for minimal cost.

Imagine having a team of people who care more about your company finances than you do. Imagine being able to send a voice note to a qualified accountant who will then complete any analysis on your business you require on that day. Imagine having access to your financial information in real time, not waiting months to find out how you are doing.

This is a banger… let's dive right in!

Harry will openly admit he tries to shy away from finances whenever possible, but as a result, decided to invest in his blind spot, and as if by magic, he now has his most lucrative businesses on record.

ZERO TO HERO - LOADS OF REVENUE BUT NO PROFIT

Most entrepreneurs are building businesses that do not make any money and there are too many who have a LOT of revenue and very little to show for it in bottom line profit.

Mo and his business partner James were in this boat. They had seven figure revenues, but very little idea on how much of that was actually being transformed into profit. The bank balance started to go down instead of up, the businesses started to underperform, and they were working far too many hours and not getting paid.

2.5 years later, they are working the least they have ever worked, have a business that is making margins in excess of 35%+ and are having record breaking months, every month! They are now the owners of a highly leveraged and highly lucrative set of businesses that are bigger than ever before with less problems than ever before.

Hourly rates are through the roof for them and service levels are at an all time high!

Would you believe me if I told you all of this stems from clarity over your finances?

In this episode we talk through the journey that they went on to get from where they were to where they are, the game changers they put in place, and the major challenges they had in doing so.

Listen to this if you want to earn more money, work less, and build a lucrative business which runs itself! Stay to the end to hear top tips!
