Profit Structuring and Business Analysis
This seminar comes from years of experience and the understanding that without a good foundation, most business owners/managers spend too much of their time trying to hold up the walls themselves instead of making money.

The information in this seminar is what we should have had before we opened our doors!
This Seminar will be covering these important topics;
- Reading & Understanding your Profit & Loss statements
- You will receive an excel spreadsheet that will perform all calculations talked about in this webinar, & a 1-hour phone consultation on your numbers after filling out the spreadsheet and a recorded copy of the webinar for future reference
- How to determine your True Cost of Being Open
