Business Owner Tool Box

Powerful Business Tools that will Make you Money

Over the years, Dr Chapman has developed many tools that he uses with his private clients to improve their business processes. And for the first time he is making these available to others. He is doing this for two reasons:

Firstly, for those who have appreciated the value of the information provided on this website, and are seriously considering Business Coaching from Empower Business Solutions, but would like to see more directly the type of information that is provided, our business tools are provided at a nominal cost, significantly below their true value.

Secondly, for those who are not ready for business coaching, but are still committed to improving their business, we provide these tools, so that when you are ready, you will already be convinced that Empower Business Solutions is the right answer for your business.

But first, a special offer:

If you are the first to suggest a tool that we later develop for this website, we will give you a free copy of this product! And if you are not the first, we will still offer it to you at 50% off the online price!
So contact Empower Business Solutions now with your ideas.

Business Owners Tool Box Contents

The following tools are currently available:

A Business Plan Template that Really Works
How Much should You Charge?
Budgeting to Drive Your Business Further

Empower Business Solutions will add to these tools shortly and is keen to obtain feedback on how these products can be improved (if you make the suggestion first, you will receive a free copy of the new version) and for new products (see the offer above).

For small business owners charging out their personal services, possibly packaged with products, there is a common tendancy to undercharge. How much is your time really worth? This spreadsheet explains how you should calculate your chargeout rate, and how you can increase the rates you charge to the level that fits with both your lifestyle needs, and the value you deliver.

Being able to forecast your business profitability is a critical step in giving you control of Your Business. You are probably receiving a Profit and Loss Statement from your accountant, but there are two things wrong with it. Firstly, it only tells you what has happened, not what is going to happen. Secondly, the statements most accountants provide don't reveal where the business is making and losing its money. And the format they provide makes analysis extremely difficult.

The Budgeting to Drive Your Business Further spreadsheet gives the business owner the following capabilities:

• Forecast Your Profits over the next 12 months
• See which products & services are making or losing you money
• Analyse the impact of pricing and costs on Gross Profit
• Forecast a cashflow crisis
• Create a budget driven by product sales

As a Bonus, this tool also provides a reporting template to measure you progress towards your profit goals throughout the year.
