Cashflow expert celebrates her third business anniversary during lockdown

Cashflow expert Nicki Kinton is celebrating three years in business this weekend (May 31) as lockdown still impacts the UK economy.

“I’ll be having a celebratory cocktail in preparation for a small party to come once lockdown restrictions are lifted more fully,” said Nicki, of Swindon-based Confident Cashflow.

Nicki started her own business after many years of working with organisations as a credit manager and expert in helping them manage a healthy cash flow. She decided to go it alone in 2017.

“I made the decision to set up my own business in order to have more control over my life,” Nicki said. “Working within a larger organisation and contacting smaller companies over many years, made me realise that I could help small business owners be more efficient, more cash aware and tighten up their contracts with suppliers and customers.

“It’s been a learning journey all of the way and, when it’s your own business, there’s far more emotion involved when you are responsible for your own company and your own cash.”

What Nicki could not have known was the fact she’d celebrate her anniversary in business at home with her husband Toby and pet Labrador cross Bella, under lockdown.

“It’s been an interesting time with both positives and negatives. Once lockdown is lifted I fully intend to have a ‘real world’ cocktail event with clients and colleagues.”
