Many small businesses fail not because they lack customers, but because the owner does not know where the money is going. This course teaches you how to control your business through simple, practical records that you can keep in a book or basic spreadsheet. It is made for shop owners, kantemba operators, farmers, tailors, hairdressers and other small entrepreneurs.

You start with the basics: the difference between sales, expenses, profit, assets and debts. These are explained without heavy accounting language, using real-life examples from local businesses. You then learn how to design and use a simple cashbook to record money coming in and going out.

Another section focuses on daily sales records: how to record what was sold, at what price and whether it was cash or credit. You see how this connects to your stock list so you can tell which items are making money and which are just filling space.

The course also covers how to pay yourself correctly, how to handle small loans and how to avoid mixing business money with home expenses. You are shown step-by-step how to calculate daily, weekly and monthly profit using your simple records.

By the end of the course, you will not become a professional accountant, but you will understand your own numbers clearly. You will be able to see whether your business is truly profitable and make better decisions about pricing, stock, staff and growth.
