Training on and Tools for Small Business Skills needed!

Status: Finished
Step: 
7

The women of Yoshinkhel are trying to build up a professional small business from their knitting skills...but they lack the necessary business skills and tools for setting up a business!

Can you help them by developing an online training or tools/files/software specific to their needs? Or would you even be willing to come to Yoshinkhel as volunteer? Or do you have experience you would like to share?

Though Sabina is a student of management and accounting, she knows the theory but still needs a practical handling system to work the small business effectively and efficiently.

Project: Help set up proper day care for children and professional training for women

Hi Angelika,

I want to get this job off and running. The calendar, website and catalog seem to be coming out well.

I am a bit confused about this one though. Are we looking for some kind of software or program to manage and record things like cash flows etc? Or are we looking for a group of excel files that can be updated regularly with all the details on costs, revenues, orders etc.?

Also, will customers be able to order online from the website - esp those buying in bulk at wholesale rates?

I might have more questions for you and Sabina as we progress.

Thanks
Freddie

[body] => Hi Sabina, you're facing a number of steps to get this thing of the ground. First, you need to set up a chart of accounts that represents the processes of the knitting business. Secondly, we should try to find readily available free accounting software. (Building this from scratch is far too complicated.) I use free software for my own firm, and it suits me just fine. Thirdly, the software should be installed on a pc and should be customized to your needs (using the chart of accounts in step 1). The next step is to set up master data (customers, suppliers, etc.) and your starting balances. Finally, there should be some training for the people that will use the system. For starters, I could help you by setting up your chart of accounts (step 1 above). To be able to do this, I would have to understand all processes that take place in the knitting business (i.e. procurement of wool, manufacturing process, customer ordering, delivery, etc.). I could draw up a questionnaire for you to start with. I should be able to draft a chart of accounts from your answers. if we're satisfied with the chart of accounts and the posting schemes (i.e debet, credit posting schedule for all activities in the knitting business), we can try to find software that can be customized to your need.

Tks Wilfred for your hard work.

Reg.COA, in my opinion in direct manufacturing cost it should be only material, labour and transportation cost (in carriage) and remaining item which are shown in direct cost should be in indirect manufacturing cost if i'm right.

additional materials : 1. packing material (plastics)
2. Lining warm cloth (voering)
needles : not necessary to include

Hoping to see updates.

Hi Sabina. I just joined Nabuur. I've been looking at this project and have been thinking about how I can contribute.

So I thought I'd try and introduce to you a free accounting software. Take a look at the website and let me know if it seems to complicated.

Sabina didi,

The file is too big to download. I know the connection there isn't very fast. So sorry to have misled you.

Otherwise, for anybody else interested:

Click on the following link and click on gnucash-2.2.9-setup.exe [It's the second one]. That will start the download.
