Commercial intelligence · made for small business

Understand your numbers.
Build a better business.

CIP gives small businesses the commercial analysis that big companies pay whole teams for — a real analyst and a dashboard that turn last month’s figures into clear, plain-English decisions.

understand build partner

Built for independent cafés, shops, salons and studios.

What you get

A finance director’s eye — without the finance director’s salary.

Two halves of the same thing: people who read your numbers for you, and software that keeps them in front of you.

The service

Done for you, every month.

Chloe and Steph take your figures apart the way a finance director would — margin, labour, cash, what moved and why — and hand you a short, honest review with the two or three things actually worth doing next.

  • A monthly commercial review, written in plain English
  • The numbers that matter, not a wall of them
  • Clear next moves — priced, ranked, honest
The software

Your numbers, finally making sense.

Upload a month of transactions and CIP turns them into KPIs, month-on-month trends and plain-English insights — with a shareable report you can send to your accountant or business partner in a single click.

  • Sales, margin, labour and cash at a glance
  • Trends that show what’s moving, and how fast
  • One-click monthly report with a private share link
How it works

understand · build · partner

Not a one-off report you file and forget. A rhythm that makes every month’s decisions sharper than the last.

understand

See it clearly

We turn your raw figures into a clear picture — sales, margin, labour and cash — month on month, no jargon.

build

Fix what’s leaking

We find what’s working and what’s quietly costing you, then hand you a short list of moves that actually change the numbers.

partner

Stay ahead

We stay with you — a monthly review and a running record — so you’re steering the business, not guessing at it.

Inside the app

The whole month, on one screen.

Every KPI with last month beside it, the insights written for you, and a report that’s ready to share. This is a real month — net sales up 40%, labour down to 22.5% of sales, and the app saying so in words you’d actually use.
