Everyone knows records matter. Keeping them is the hard part.
Sylvia runs her own business. She was taught that good records keep a business alive, and she had a template to keep them in. She knew exactly what to do.
Doing it every day was another matter. Her records ended up in more than one place, and pulling them together at the end of the week was a job that kept slipping. A few weeks in, she still couldn’t say what the business had really made.
Her husband builds software. He turned her template into an app, so a sale is written down the moment it happens, in one place, and the sums do themselves. That app grew into MyProfits.
She tried what most owners try. Every one of them costs something.
| The usual way | What it costs you | Why |
|---|---|---|
| An exercise book | Forgotten credit | Credit sales nobody wrote down, and sums nobody adds up. |
| Notes in five places | Lost evenings | A book, your phone, WhatsApp, the back of a receipt. Pulling it together never happens. |
| Your memory | Unpaid debts | Every “I’ll pay you Friday” that quietly never comes back. |
| An accountant | A fee, too late | Once a year, and the news arrives after the money is gone. |
| MyProfits | Free | One business, no time limit. Every sale, cost and debt in one place, the moment it happens. |
