Business Centric Services Group (BCSG) to support the delivery of Intuit Financial Fitness training to 1,000 small businesses across the UK

Following the successful launch of the government supported Financial Fitness workshops at the Business Start-Up Show in London last week, BCSG is proud to announce it will continue to support Intuit as a training partner for a series of the workshops next year in Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield.

Over 400 small businesses owners were the first to benefit from the workshop sessions at the Business Start-Up Show on 17th -18th November, which provide hands-on practical training to help them get financially fit and be set up for long-term success.

The workshops have been inspired by research from the Office of National Statistics that shows that one in three businesses do not make it past their third birthday, prompting the Business Secretary, Dr Vince Cable to launch The Finance Fitness campaign in early November.

In getting financially fit, new business owners will feel more confident and equipped to tackle the most challenging financial elements of starting up a business:

  • Knowing what records to keep and staying on top of it all
  • Managing cash flow
  • Getting customers to pay on time
  • Dealing with VAT and taxes
  • Getting organised for end of year filing

In 2012, Intuit and BCSG will host further events in Liverpool, to coincide with the Global Entrepreneur Congress in March, Sheffield, in advance of the MADE Festival, the UK's premier business festival for entrepreneurs, and Manchester. This is in addition to QuickBooks training provided by Intuit and BCSG to thousands of small businesses each year.
