Business Finance Education That Actually Works
We've spent eight years figuring out what financial skills entrepreneurs really need. Our programmes focus on practical application rather than theoretical frameworks — because running a business requires different knowledge than studying one.
Discuss Your RequirementsHow We Built This Programme
2017: Started with a Problem
Three entrepreneurs approached us after their businesses failed — not because their ideas were bad, but because they couldn't manage cash flow or understand their financial statements. Traditional education hadn't prepared them for real business finance challenges.
2019: Research Phase
We interviewed 120 business owners across the UK about their biggest financial mistakes and knowledge gaps. The patterns were clear: most struggled with pricing strategies, working capital management, and basic financial planning.
2022: First Pilot Programme
Launched our initial 12-week course with 15 participants. Results exceeded expectations — 80% improved their monthly financial reporting processes, and several identified cost savings of £2,000+ annually.
2025: Comprehensive Programme
Today we offer structured learning paths for different business stages. Our next intake starts September 2025, with options for early-stage entrepreneurs and established business owners looking to optimise their financial operations.
Meet Your Learning Team
Marcus Thornfield
Cash Flow Specialist
Marcus spent 12 years as a management accountant before starting his own consultancy. He's particularly good at explaining complex financial concepts in plain English — probably because he remembers struggling with them himself when he first started out.
Kieran Walsh
Business Analysis Expert
Former operations director at three different companies, Kieran brings real-world experience in performance measurement and financial controls. His background includes both successful ventures and one spectacular failure, which makes his lessons particularly valuable.
Dmitri Volkov
Investment Planning Tutor
Dmitri worked in corporate finance for eight years before transitioning to business education. He specialises in helping entrepreneurs understand funding options and investment decisions without getting overwhelmed by financial jargon.
Real Business Cases We Study
Manufacturing Company Turnaround
A Midlands-based manufacturer was losing £8,000 monthly but couldn't identify why. Through detailed cost analysis and workflow optimisation, we helped them uncover hidden inefficiencies in their production process.
Key Learning: How to conduct meaningful cost analysis and identify profitable vs. unprofitable product lines
Service Business Growth Planning
A consulting firm wanted to expand but wasn't sure they could afford additional staff. We worked through their cash flow projections and helped them model different growth scenarios to make informed decisions.
Key Learning: Building realistic financial models and understanding working capital requirements during growth
Retail Chain Financial Controls
A small retail chain with four locations needed better financial oversight. Their main challenge was getting accurate, timely information about each location's performance and overall profitability.
