The Pricing Audit is a done-for-you, one-on-one offering for makers and creative entrepreneurs who want clear, confident pricing decisions grounded in real numbers, not guesswork.
This supportive, in-depth audit brings clarity to your costs, margins, and pricing structure so your business can grow sustainably with healthier profit and fewer reactive decisions.
Inside the audit, Spark for Small Businesses reviews your current pricing, cost structure, offerings, and market context to determine what’s truly profitable, where pricing is undermining margin or sustainability, and what adjustments will better support long-term growth.
This experience is designed to meet you where you are and help you build pricing that feels understandable, aligned, and reliable as your business evolves.
Audit highlights include:
A done-for-you review of your pricing and true costs, including materials, time, overhead, and overlooked expenses
Clear insight into which products or offerings support profit and which ones cost more than they return
Market and customer pricing context to ensure your prices hold up in real-world conditions
Specific, data-backed pricing recommendations aligned with your goals, capacity, and business model
A comprehensive written Pricing Audit report with clear recommendations and an implementation roadmap
Ongoing email support and 5–8 virtual meetings for clarification, alignment, and review
You don’t need to be “good with numbers” — you need pricing that’s grounded in real costs and clear data.
