In this episode of ‘It’s Not About the Money’ (formerly ‘In Her Financial Shoes’) I discuss where to start with putting money aside in your business. 

I focus on five critical money pots that every business owner should consider: expenses, profit payouts, tax and VAT, cash reserves, and investments. I also discuss the importance of accurately predicting expenses for growth, paying yourself first, setting aside money for tax and VAT, maintaining cash reserves, and exploring tax-efficient investments. By addressing these areas, business owners can improve their financial stability, increase personal wealth, and make better financial decisions.
