Description

A floral studio that prices individual jobs without a clear picture of its overall cost structure is guessing at profitability. Understanding the full cost base — fixed overhead, variable job costs, seasonal cash flow patterns, and the financial implications of different revenue mixes — is what allows pricing decisions to be made with commercial confidence rather than competitive anxiety.

This module covers floral business financial management as a complete discipline, from job-level costing through to annual financial planning.

You’ll work with:

• Job costing in full: stems, sundries, labour, overhead allocation, and waste factor at the individual job level
• Overhead and fixed cost management: understanding the full cost base of a studio operation and how it affects minimum viable pricing across different job types
• Seasonal cash flow planning: managing the revenue and cost patterns of a business with high seasonal concentration and variable forward booking

Duration: 9-10 hours

Outcome: A complete financial management framework for a floral studio — with the costing discipline and planning tools to make pricing decisions that are grounded in actual business economics rather than market approximation.
