Case Study: From business plan to angel investment
The problem:
A chain of cafe/bars came to Carroll Accountants because their turnover was good but their cashflow was a constant problem.
The solution:
Carroll Accountants took over their accounts, tidied them up and measured them against industry standards. When going through menus, food, bar and labour costs they found that the costs were extremely high impacting profit and cash flow.
The outcome:
Carroll Accountants supported the company with a new plan with targets and the correct KPIs which resulted in a significant uplift in profit. Add in a 5 year pitch deck and suddenly they had angel investors knocking at the door with a 6 figure offer.
