Setting the right price is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make.

Price too low and leave money on the table; price too high and risk losing customers.

Use the wrong model and scaling becomes harder.

Great pricing isn’t just about covering costs—it’s about maximizing value and driving long-term profitability.

Economic downturns happen. Whether it’s a market crash, interest rate hikes, or a global crisis, the businesses that plan ahead survive—and the ones that don’t? They get caught in the storm.

When things get tough, cash is king, debt becomes a burden, and agility separates winners from losers.

You need capital. Do you borrow it (debt) or give up shares (equity)?

Each option has massive consequences for your business. Get it wrong, and you could:

Lose control of your company by giving up too much equity.
Get buried in debt with monthly repayments draining your cash flow.

But it doesn’t have to derail your business.

Should we push for aggressive growth?
Or should we focus on profitability first?

The answer? It depends—but getting it wrong can be a costly mistake.

Selling your business should feel like a celebration of everything you’ve built—not a last-minute scramble to fix financials, chase down contracts, and realize you left millions on the table.

Yet, too many founders wait until they’re burned out before they start thinking about an exit. Big mistake.

You’re pitching to investors. Your deck looks great. Your story is solid. But when it comes to the numbers, the conversation suddenly feels… uncomfortable.

A Fractional CFO helps you prepare for funding rounds like a pro. Here’s how.

Growth is exciting. New clients, bigger deals, more staff—it’s everything you wanted, right?

Except… the bank balance tells a different story. More revenue should mean more cash, but somehow, you’re constantly scraping by.

You’re not alone.
