Florist business spreadsheet: run your business from one Excel file

The Florist Business Management System is an all-in-one florist business spreadsheet for florists. Log every job or sale, chase unpaid invoices, run your stock take, plan the rota, keep on top of daily checks, certificates and risk assessments, and see your profit on a live dashboard. It costs £15 once, with no subscription and no app, so you keep your own data in a file you already know how to use.

Why florists choose a spreadsheet over an app

• One-off £15, not a monthly fee
