Uncovering the Truth Behind Entrepreneurship: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Challenges and Triumphs of Business Owners

The leaky bucket podcast takes a look behind the scenes of entrepreneurs' businesses into what really happens and goes on. We uncover the real truth rather than the social-media-ready posts that make things look amazing. We uncover and understand the trials and tribulations that business owners face and what it takes to go from challenge to challenge with renewed vigour.

In this series, we'll dive into the nitty-gritty of how we started our business, the obstacles we faced, and the processes we developed to overcome them. We'll share our experiences and lessons learned, giving you a real-world view of what it takes to build a successful business. Not only that we will provide real insight into the challenges and the successes happening right now as we live them.

We might be accountants but this isn’t about accounting. This is about owning a business, the resilience required to overcome the constant challenges and how to take you and your business to new levels that you have never been before.

We know that running a business can be tough, but it's also rewarding.

Our hope is that by sharing our stories, we can help you to navigate the challenges and also ensure you celebrate the victories.

In this episode, we explore the critical importance of investing in your finance function and how it can make or break your business.

We discuss why allocating 1.5-2.5% of your turnover to financial management—including bookkeeping, reporting, cash flow, and tax compliance—can significantly impact growth and profitability.

Through real-world examples from businesses that faced major financial challenges due to underfunding their finance departments, we illustrate the tangible benefits of proper financial oversight. From resolving VAT issues and correcting bookkeeping errors to saving thousands in tax liabilities, this episode shows why your finance function is essential to success.

Don’t wait until it’s too late—learn how to invest wisely and secure the future of your business.

In this episode, we explore the pros and cons of putting a company car through your business. We focus on two main types of vehicles: commercial vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs).

Key Points:

•Commercial Vehicles:

•Offer significant tax benefits, including full tax deductions and VAT recovery (if VAT-registered).

•Typically exempt from Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax if used exclusively for business.

•Electric Vehicles:

•Benefit from lower BIK tax rates due to their low emissions.

•Eligible for government grants and 100% first-year capital allowances.

•Lower running and maintenance costs compared to traditional fuel vehicles.

•Enhance your business’s green credentials.

Considerations:

•Personal use of company cars can lead to additional taxes (BIK).

•Weigh the cost vs. benefit of owning the car through your business versus personal purchase.

•Choose the right vehicle based on your business needs.

This episode helps business owners make informed decisions about whether putting a vehicle through the company is the right move, especially with the rise of commercial and electric vehicles.

In this episode, we delve into the crucial topic of choosing the optimal business structure for tax efficiency. We’ll compare and contrast four main types of business structures: sole trader, partnership, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), and limited company. Here’s what you’ll learn:

1.Sole Trader:

•Pros: Simplicity and full control.

•Cons: Unlimited liability and higher personal income tax rates.

2.Partnership:

•Pros: Shared responsibility and relatively easy setup.

•Cons: Unlimited liability for partners and personal income tax on profits.

3.Limited Liability Partnership (LLP):

•Pros: Limited liability and tax flexibility.

•Cons: More complex to set up and partners still pay personal income tax on profits.

4.Limited Company:

•Pros: Limited liability, lower corporation tax rates, and tax-efficient profit extraction through dividends.

•Cons: More regulatory requirements and administrative costs.

We’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each structure, focusing on their tax implications and helping you make an informed decision based on your business’s profit levels, liability concerns, and administrative capacity. Tune in to learn which business structure could save you money and protect your assets while aligning with your long-term business goals.

In this episode of the Leaky Bucket Podcast, we discuss the dangers of emotional decision-making in business.

While emotions are useful for detecting danger and making connections, they can lead to poor decision-making when dealing with unexpected events.

By keeping bookkeeping up to date, creating a cash flow forecast, and underplaying income and overplaying costs, you can make logical decisions from a position of control.

Hi there, and welcome to another exciting episode of the Leaky Bucket Podcast!

Today, we have a very special guest with us, Laura Evans from SISU Pancakes, based in Cheltenham.

Now, let me tell you, trying to describe SISU Pancakes is like trying to explain a deliciously unique blend of a pancake and a cake - it's simply something you have to experience for yourself!

In this episode, Laura shares her incredible #journey and the #challenges she faced in her childhood that ultimately shaped her into the strong, determined individual she is today. We'll also delve into her career outside of business and how it influenced the qualities she brings into her #entrepreneurial endeavors.

One of the most inspiring aspects of Laura's story is how she persevered through failure after failure until one mistake turned into a catalyst for #success. We'll explore the mindset and values that drove her to keep pushing forward, even when the going got tough.

Laura's outlook on life is truly remarkable. She believes that success is not a destination, but a continuous journey, and she's purposeful in the way she lives her life. She's a true example of someone who has found #happiness and #fulfillment by making conscious decisions and prioritising what truly matters to her.

So, if you're ready for an #uplifting and #motivating conversation with an incredible entrepreneur, then don't wait any longer!

You won't want to miss it!

So today, we have with us Ben Cuncarr and Adrian Wilkinson from AVENSURE HR.

Now, AVENSURE is an HR service and product that's designed for small businesses. And if you don't know, there were some massive changes to HR in 2020, but they sort of went a bit under the radar because obviously, we had this little thing called Covid.

But those changes mean that if you haven't updated your policies since then, the chances are you are probably pretty much higher date in terms of your policies and procedures.

And we also delve into the fact that if you are an employer and you don't have any policies or procedures or anything in place, you're just opening yourselves up to #RISK that you really don't need.

BEEN THERE, DONE IT.

We once ended up in a situation where there was a disagreement, but we lacked a degree of policies and procedures to back ourselves up in terms of what we were gonna be able to do to rectify the situation.

So, Really delve in today and just get under the fact of HR is not a "reactionary" service. Ben highlights this within the interview as well.

It shouldn't be a reactionary #service. It should be something that you build into your business every day to reduce the risk profile of your business so you don't end up exposed unnecessarily.

Darryl is a dynamic, driven Business Consultant and Coach with over 20 years of experience and passion for creating successful outcomes for founder-led businesses.

He is a great connector, team builder, problem solver, and inspirer — showing the way through complexity to simplicity.

Darryl together with his team raise awareness of the fact that as a business owner, if you want to get the most from your life’s work and exit on your terms, then you need to prepare for exit and make your business attractive for a buyer.

The problem that occurs when this doesn’t happen is that;

· Only 10-40 % of businesses that go to market actually get sold!
· And, of those that do get sold, the deal is structured in a way that means the owners have to work through an ‘earn out’ period to realise full valuation.
· And more that 50% of these earnouts don’t get completed either because the goal posts are moved, or the owners have run out of energy.

This can be avoided if your business is exit ready, de-risking the deal for both the owners and the buyers.

In this Episode Darryl generously gives his expertise in Preparing a Business for an Exit.
