My BusinessWhat comes in is half of it. This is the other half.
Who we are, who supplies us, and what we owe. Customers is who the business serves. My Business is the business itself: its bills and costs, its suppliers, its hours and the accreditations it can't trade without.

Costs first. Who we are behind them.
Bills and costs change every week. The business's identity is set once and rarely touched. So the frequent half leads, and the rest waits until it's needed.
Bills & expenses
What's due and when, with receipts captured and expenses approved, synced to the accounts through Money.
Recurring costs
Rent, software, utilities and subscriptions, with a total that's easy to watch month by month.
Suppliers
Who the business buys from, their catalogues and prices, and purchase orders that restock Products.
Profile
Name, trading details, branding, and the divisions or locations the business runs as.
Hours & closures
Opening hours, bank holidays and closures, which decide what can be booked in Services.
Accreditations
Industry bodies, registrations and insurance, the things the business can't trade without, each with its date.
It watches the money going out, too.
Bills, suppliers, purchase orders and budgets sit beside the sales. So Simma can see the whole cash picture, and the costs that creep up while nobody's looking.
"3 bills totalling £1,240 are due this week."
"Your subscriptions have grown by £180 a month over the year."

"This month's utilities are double the usual."
"You're £400 over on equipment this month."
"Your public liability insurance expires in 3 weeks."
Fiona watches what goes out. Oli keeps supplies coming.
Fiona, the finance agent, keeps an eye on bills, costs and budgets. Oli, the operations agent, handles suppliers and orders. Nothing is paid or ordered without the owner's approval. Meet the agents →
"Your software subscriptions have grown £180 a month this year. Two do what Simma already does, and one nobody has logged into since May. Cancel all three?"
"Your usual supplier has put springs up 15%. Another supplier in your catalogue has the same part for £2 less. Switch this order?"
