Let’s face it, running a business is tough, and managing your stock is one of the biggest challenges. It can feel like you are putting all this work in, but your cash is being sucked into a blackhole. Even when the business is growing, it’s exhausting to constantly “wing it”, with that fear in your head that it all might crumble tomorrow.
Stock issues cause stress for business owners in two different ways.
From a financial perspective, you might end up without the money to cover a larger-than-expected bill or feel nervous about spending money to move the business forward because you’re worried about running out.
From a personal perspective it can really knock your confidence in yourself as a business owner. Many people feel like it’s not a “real” business if they don’t have a proper handle on their stock.
With Stock Doctor, we’re here to help you get a handle on your stock, feel confident about your business’s future, and boost your understanding of your business numbers so that you can be proactive and purposeful in growing your income and profit.
Stock Doctor isn’t a course, and it’s not another thing to add to your to-do list.
It’s a hands-on, done-for-you service where expert merchandisers dig into your numbers and create a practical, personalised stock plan—so you know exactly what to buy, what to stop buying, and how to make your stock work harder.
This isn’t a course or do-it-yourself guide where you’re left to figure things out on your own.

Got a question that’s not answered here? We’d love to help.
Stock Doctor is built around core Merchandising principles – getting the right stock in the right place at the right time.
It’s all about understanding what is performing and you need more of, and what is not performing that you need to pull back on.
Stock is the biggest expense in most product businesses. Managing it more effectively has a profound impact on sales and profit.
What we’ve seen is that the average result for clients who complete six months with Stock Doctor is that their sales are up 10% compared to where they were tracking before, and stock is -10%.
More sales and less stock = faster turning stock, which is more profitable and results in a better cash flow. In other words, they do more with less which brings in more money through sales, all while spending less money on stock.
All of this has resulted in an average of £5K more profit per £100K of revenue, even after the cost of the programme is taken into account. And most importantly, this is all done with minimal time requirement from the founder. Someone else spends the time to get into the nitty gritty of the stock situation and pulls out what you need to know. No guess work, just clear direction.
The short answer is yes, Stock Doctor relies on data, so you will need to have an EPOS system to make the investment worthwhile.
The only way it would work without one is if you have very detailed manual records in a spreadsheet. But ideally you’d have some kind of system the Stock Doctor could access to get your data.
Your Stock Doctor journey begins with a Stock Strategy session. The Stock Strategy Session is a one-off, expert-led deep dive into your stock and sales, designed to uncover hidden profit and show you exactly what to fix, fast. It’s like having a retail strategist sit beside you and say, “Here’s what’s working, here’s what’s wasting money, and here’s what to do next.”
The strategy session is £750 plus VAT for businesses with turnover up to £500K per year, and £1490 plus VAT for those over.
Ongoing support, with monthly sessions, is £390 plus VAT a month, with a minimum sign up period of 6 months for businesses with turnovers up to £500k per year. For those £500K to £1 million, the cost is £760 plus VAT a month.
While there is an upfront cost, the average results we achieve for customers over 6 months actually make the service pay for itself. People typically add £5K of profit per £100K of revenue, even after the cost of the programme is taken into account. As one client said “It’s the best money I spend in my business each month”
A call is really a chance for us to get to know more about you and what you need.
It’s very informal, and usually follows the following format:
Need some more time to think about it? That’s absolutely fine. We’re not into the hard sell, we are committed to working with people we can genuinely help.
The Stock Doctor process starts with a stock strategy package. Usually, depending on availability, we can deliver this within 2-3 weeks.
After that we can work with you for an initial period of six months to create the documents that you need, and then to give you ongoing support in using them to make real changes in your business.
If you want us to support you past the six months stage, we can do that too!
We get it. It can feel very exposing, the idea of having someone take a look at the real nuts and bolts behind the numbers in your business.
But rest assured, we’ve seen it all, and one of our core guiding principles is that we will never judge you or make you feel bad. We’re just here to help!
Our belief is that knowledge is power, and we want to empower you to understand what is going on in your business, and how best to improve it.
