Making a profit, but still wondering where the money goes?
The Value Gap Review helps business owners explore where profit could improve, cash could be released and their existing resources could work more effectively.
Using your own figures, Julia identifies two or three priority opportunities and their estimated impact, with a personalised Value Gap Analysis Report and discussion of next steps.
Value Gap Review — £495 + VAT
What could improve, what could it be worth, and where should you focus first?
Your business may be making a profit, but cash still feels tight. Sales are growing, everyone is busy, and yet too little seems to remain.
The pressure could come from margins, rising costs, unpaid invoices, stock, unfinished work or how existing resources are being used.
The Value Gap Review uses your own figures to explore realistic improvements and estimate their potential impact.
A defined paid introduction to working with Julia, with a useful outcome in its own right and no requirement to buy ongoing support.
Is this what’s happening in your business?
Sales are growing, but the bank balance is not
More revenue is not translating into more available cash.
Everyone is busy, but too little profit remains
You want to understand whether existing resources could generate better returns.
Rising costs are eating into margins
You want to explore the potential impact of realistic margin improvements.
Money is tied up in the business
Unpaid invoices, stock or unfinished work may be holding back cash.
You have ideas, but need clear priorities
You want to identify which two or three changes could make the biggest difference.
Your figures. Julia’s analysis. Clear priorities.
The Value Gap Review combines your own business figures with Julia’s financial experience to identify opportunities and help you decide where to focus first.
1. Pre-work and initial meeting
Pre-work using your own numbers, followed by a 45-minute initial meeting to understand your figures and concerns.
2. Julia’s analysis
Julia reviews your information using The Gap’s Value Gap Calculator through her membership, alongside her own financial experience.
3. Personalised report
Your Value Gap Analysis Report sets out two or three improvement opportunities and their estimated impact.
4. Follow-up discussion
A proposed 30-minute follow-up meeting to discuss the findings, assumptions, priorities and next steps.
What could improve, what it could be worth and where to focus first.
Explore realistic changes using your own figures, then discuss which opportunities deserve your attention.
Put a financial figure against the opportunity
Explore what better margins, faster customer payments or improved productivity could mean.
Look beyond chasing more sales
Consider whether the existing business could generate better returns.
Choose where to focus
Identify two or three priorities rather than leave with an overwhelming list.
Test assumptions before committing resources
Discuss whether the changes are achievable and what might prevent them.
Experience working with Julia
A defined paid introduction to Julia’s approach with a useful outcome in its own right and no requirement to buy ongoing support.
What could a realistic change be worth?
For a business with £1 million annual sales, these examples illustrate two different opportunities.
Improving gross margin
Improving gross margin from 40% to 41%, with sales and overheads unchanged:
£10,000 additional annual profit before tax.
Collecting customer payments sooner
Collecting customer payments 10 days sooner:
Approximately £27,400 released from unpaid invoices.
These are separate illustrations, not promised results. The cash example excludes VAT and seasonal effects. Cash released from invoices is different from additional profit.
