Financial check-up
A snapshot of your company's financial health: where it makes money, where it loses money and what the most urgent bottleneck is. It's free, and it's the starting point for working with Farol.
What we do
We gather revenue, costs, debt and cash from what the company already has: bank statements, sales system reports and the accountant's income statement. We organize these numbers into a simple management P&L and look at margin, cash and debt together, to understand what is holding back results.
What you get
- Management P&L for recent months, organized for decision-making.
- A reading of margin, cash and debt in plain language.
- The main bottleneck and where to start solving it.
Who it is for
Owners of micro and small businesses who sell well but feel there is never money left over, or who want reliable numbers before investing, hiring or changing prices.
How it works
- Initial conversation: We get to know the business, how it sells and what is worrying you today.
- Sending the numbers: You send what you already have: bank statements, sales system reports and the accountant's income statement. You don't need to organize anything beforehand.
- Organization and analysis: We build a simple management P&L and cross-check margin, cash and debt.
- Feedback: We present the snapshot in a conversation, with the main bottleneck and suggested next steps.

Frequently asked questions
Is the check-up really free?
Yes. It's the first step in working with Farol and there is no charge. If you then want to go ahead with a service, we agree on scope and fees before we start.
Do my accounts need to be up to date?
It helps, but it isn't required. We work with whatever the company has, and part of the check-up is precisely to show what information is missing.
Is my data safe?
Files are used only for the check-up and handled in accordance with our Privacy policy. We're happy to sign a confidentiality agreement if you prefer.
