Lunch and Learn: How the Recovery Loan Scheme can help your business

Since launching in 2005, the Enterprise Nation team has helped thousands of people start and grow their businesses. Led by founder Emma Jones MBE, Enterprise Nation continues to be the most active UK small business community and a leading campaigning voice for small business. Joining Enterprise Nation connects you with resources, community and connections you need to reach your business goals.

Meet The Advisers: Finance

Watch back: A panel of experts answer questions on all things finance - including cash flow, budgeting, forecasting and investment.

Following a degree in Law and Japanese, Emma joined international accounting firm Arthur Andersen, where she worked in London, Leeds and Manchester offices and set up the firm's Inward Investment practice that attracted overseas companies to locate in the UK. 



In 2000, bitten by the dot.com bug, Emma left the firm to start her first business, Techlocate. 

After 15 months, the company was successfully sold to Tenon plc. The experience of starting, growing and selling a business from a home base gave Emma the idea for Enterprise Nation which was launched in 2006 as the home business website. The company has since expanded to become a small business membership community of over 75,000 people who benefit from events and support: online and in person. Enterprise Nation also presents a campaigning voice to government and the media on behalf of its members. 

In 2021, Emma was awarded a CBE for services to small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Have your say

This group is an opportunity for Enterprise Nation members to suggest ideas on what more/less we should be doing to support small business - and anything you would like us to be raising with government and large organisations on your behalf.

I am a specialist in financial decision-making.
I help people make better financial decisions - business and personal.
Finance is complex. Our own mindset adds to the complexity. Both factors - knowledge of finance and our thinking - affect how we make decisions and how we respond to the results.
I&apos;m a chartered accountant and consultant, with over 30 years experience across the City &amp; industry, commercial &amp; not-for-profit, large &amp; small. With this background I can laser in on what&apos;s most relevant for a given client, in a given scenario.
As a coach and mentor, I&apos;ve helped clients develop more effective mindsets around money &amp; wealth for over ten years.
I&apos;m also a non-executive director of Renaisi Ltd, a social enterprise helping the long-term unemployed into work.

Revenue - how to unlock more profits

You already have a client base and revenue streams but are frustrated with low profitability. Instead of looking at where they are losing value in the revenue cycle, it is common for businesses to just chase more sales.

I help businesses harvest the value they are losing so they can grow from a more profitable and sustainable base.

Common areas where value is lost are:

1. Under-pricing
2. Unprofitable clients
3. Over-servicing
4. Payment terms
5. Billing &amp; Collection
6. You - your mindset
