Doing It All Yourself In A Small Business Start Up
A few things to keep in mind before making your leap from the golden cage.
“The stationery cupboard is bare, the phones not working and the e-mail won’t work. Your car needs its insurance renewing and you have no train tickets for tomorrow’s business meeting. You have been extremely busy, but no one’s paid their bills, because no one has sent out the invoices and the bank says you’re running out of cash!”
Sound like a bad day at the office? For many it’s part of the normal transition from being employed within a medium to large company with all the various support departments delivering their specific functions to the busy sales executive. Or as one ex senior executive who had stepped out of the golden cage to run his own business commented,
“it was like having a team of pixies who came in under the cover of darkness and filled the stationery cupboards, posted the invoices and ensured that there was always money in the bank to pay wages and the suppliers invoices”.
So what do some of these pixies in other businesses do that you will now have to do (if you are starting out small), well there are the:
Finance Pixies: they create the invoices, chase payments, query supplier invoices and pay accordingly, communicate and negotiate with the bank, pay the wages and deal with tax and NI, deal with the accountants and relevant paperwork for company’s house. They also often spend hours if not days ensuring the sales cash flow and sales forecasts lined up. But let’s not forget the big one, they are the keepers of the company credit cards, oh bliss.
