The business behind what you sell
Stock on the shelf.
Room for the next decision.
For products you make, buy, hold and sell—in a shop, online or both. Connect what is available, what you are ordering and what each sale needs to cover.
From the shelf to the next order

01 · Your next decision
Separate usable stock from what is damaged, reserved or still on its way. Keep sizes, variants and locations clear enough to count what you really have.
Start with a product and a location. The stock book follows quantities and commitments; it does not connect to your shop or automatically forecast demand.
Open the Stock & Supplies Planner02 · Your next decision
Bring the need, supplier offer, quantity and delivery terms together. A minimum order or lower unit price still needs to fit what you can hold and expect to sell.
Follow an order through partial deliveries, acceptance and unresolved items. Recording the purchase and recording its payment are separate steps.
Open the Supplier & Purchasing Planner03 · Your next decision
Put supplier payments beside the dates you expect sales receipts to become available. Allow for payment delays, returns and the other bills falling due.
Use the next eight weeks and compare a timing change. The cash outlook uses your dates and amounts; it does not predict sales or replace actual payment records.
Open the Cash Timing Planner04 · Your next decision
Choose one item or order. Include its purchase or making cost, packaging, your time and selling fees, then compare what changes at another price.
Keep the sale unit consistent. Allocate order-level shipping or payment fees before entering them, and record assumptions about returns or discounts rather than counting them twice.

Follow the work
Packaged food brings preparation decisions as well as stock. A salon may sell products alongside appointments. Use the family that fits the question you have now.
Food & drink Client & appointment servicesThe existing stock, purchasing, cash and pricing tools were checked against these decisions. They remain the same canonical resources throughout Brass Charter. Opening a link does not transfer entries between them.
The outside offerings fill a gap in retail-specific learning: recordings from The Retail Owners Institute, and a program with group support from RETAILMavens. Both were checked against official provider pages on 5 October 2026. Their offering records distinguish participation and access conditions.
These are external providers in People & guidance. Brass Charter’s own guides and courses belong in the Library.
