Every year over 650,000 new businesses are set up in the UK. Disturbingly, only 40% of those will make it past the first two years.

That’s over 390,000 businesses closing their doors because something wasn’t working, but the sad thing is, they probably didn’t know why.

If you’re running a business, you’ll know it’s one hell of a challenge to manage that start-up phase with so many unknowns that you’re up against.

Imagine though, if someone had come along to those 400k businesses and said ‘Stop doing ABC, do far more of XYZ and invest in promoting DEF as the customers are loving that’.

You’d be all over it like a rash.

That’s what we do by showing you how to use your data.

Through helping business owners and entrepreneurs to build their processes and strategies within a data-led framework, we take all of that relentless and exhausting guesswork out of running your business.

We don’t only deal with startups – the need to use your data properly is vital at all stages of business.  The irony is though, that the longer you’ve been in business, the more answers you have in your assets.

But by this stage, if you’ve not been managing your data, even contemplating getting it organised, or training staff on how to use it is unthinkable.

Said with love, but that’s a BIG mistake.

There are SO many answers in your data that you’re possibly not seeing.

If you knew where to look within your business for your next move, you’d never second guess yourself again.

You think something went well? Check your data.

You think you know what range to expand? Check your data.

You think you need to recruit more people? Check your… you get it.

You can kind of see why we’re so passionate about what we do now. The assurance you have to feel good about what you’re doing could be made readily available to you so easily.

One objection we often hear is that investing in a data framework seems unnecessary, yet many businesses may need to call in expensive consultants or strategic experts when they start to struggle. Those consultants aren’t ongoing advisors either – they are often damage limitation once the damage is done.

We’re sounding all doom and gloom here – we’re really not that way inclined at all.

We just want you to take your data seriously from the outset.

The most vital advice we could give to any business owner is to see their data as the best business asset they’ll ever get their hands on.

We mention on The Academy page that 90% of companies only buy from companies they trust – your data is telling you exactly who trusts you already.

It’s telling you what people are buying, what they’re not buying, what they’re returning for and how often, where your deadwood is and where your commercial success lies.

Information like that is gold to businesses of any size.

Which is why we have the three formats in place to work with you and your data;

The Academy – aimed at business owners who know they are already doing some things well but are looking at how to scale or grow what they’ve been doing without being confused by all of their data.

Insights – have questions answered and strategies established, based on proven results. This clarity and wisdom helps to form strategies you can use to your advantage when looking where and how to take your business forward.

Solutions – aimed at helping MD’s and CEO’s escape the micromanaging that larger businesses often require of them. Sometimes when you’ve grown as far as is obviously or organically possible, you can’t see where your next move is going to be – this is where Solutions really shines and highlights where investment and growth would be feasible.

Regardless of your business size, by taking you on a journey to understand your data, we can lead you to a point where you can use the wisdom hidden in your data to take action to make your business a success.

What does this mean for you?

It means stability and structure. It’s clarity and confidence. It shows up as faith that you know what you’re doing as opposed to guessing. It’s growth because you have the insight to know what can be built upon and what can go.

But most of all it’s Insight and wisdom.

Every day, your business is diligently processing its data and telling you faithfully what you need to know.

The question is – are you even listening?
