Are you a furniture flipper looking for a planner that actually understands your business? The Furniture Flipper’s Business Planner was created specifically for furniture flippers to help you keep track of the things that matter most, from project expenses and mileage to goals, supplies, sales, and profits. After more than twenty years of flipping furniture, I couldn’t find a planner that worked for the way I actually run my furniture flipping business, so I created one.
Furniture flipping is more than finding an old dresser and giving it a makeover.
You have to find the right pieces, keep track of what you spend, remember what you paid for each project, track your mileage, keep up with supplies, photograph your work, list your furniture, schedule projects, track sales and, hopefully, keep an eye on your profit.
That’s a lot to keep in your head.
A Furniture Flipping Business Planner can help you get all of those moving parts in one place.
This planner is not generic; we designed it for the furniture-flipping tasks you encounter. I created this one around the actual things that come up when you are flipping furniture.
Why You Need a Furniture Flipping Business Planner
When you first start flipping furniture, it can feel pretty simple.
Find furniture.
Buy furniture.
Paint furniture.
Sell furniture.
But once you have several projects going at once, things get messy quickly.
You might have a dresser waiting to be painted, a table you need to pick up, supplies you need to buy, a piece listed for sale and another piece that sold but still needs to be delivered.
Then you realize you have no idea how much you actually spent on that dresser.
Or how many miles you drove picking up furniture that month.
Or how much money you made after all of your expenses.
This is where having a furniture flipping business planner can make a huge difference.
Instead of trying to remember everything or keeping random notes on your phone, you have a place to keep track of the numbers, projects and day-to-day details of your furniture flipping business.
What’s Included in the Planner?
I created the Furniture Flipping Business Planner around the areas I know furniture flippers need to track.
Furniture Flipping Goals
Before you can figure out where you’re going, it helps to know what you’re working toward.
Your goals might be completely different from another furniture flipper’s goals.
Maybe you want to make an extra $500 a month.
Maybe you want to replace part of your income.
Maybe you want to flip a certain number of pieces each month.
Maybe you’re simply trying to figure out if furniture flipping can become a profitable side hustle.
Your goals give you something to work toward and something to measure.
The planner gives you a place to write those goals down and keep them in front of you instead of letting them get lost in everything else you’re doing.
Furniture Flipping Expense Tracker
This is one of the most important parts of running a furniture flipping business.
You need to know what you’re spending.
And I’m not just talking about what you paid for the furniture.
Think about paint, primer, brushes, sandpaper, hardware, tools, supplies, delivery costs, selling fees and all of the other little expenses that can add up quickly.
If you aren’t tracking those costs, it can be really easy to look at the selling price of a piece and think you made more money than you actually did.
Keeping track of your expenses helps you see what each project is really costing you.
It can also help you spot where you’re spending too much and make better decisions on future projects.
Furniture Flipping Project Tracker
Every furniture flipper has projects.
And sometimes there are a LOT of projects.
The project section gives you a place to keep track of individual furniture flips so you can see what you paid, what you spent on the makeover and what the piece eventually sold for.
You can also keep notes about the project itself.
What products did you use?
What worked?
What didn’t?
Was there something you would do differently next time?
These details can be really helpful when you have been flipping for a while and want to look back at the types of projects you’re taking on.
Track Mileage
If you’re constantly driving around looking for furniture, picking up pieces, delivering sold furniture or running business-related errands, those miles can add up.
The Furniture Flipping Business Planner includes a mileage tracker so you have a dedicated place to record your business-related driving.
Keeping organized records of your business mileage can also make things much easier when it comes time to organize your business records for tax purposes. Always check with your tax professional about what applies to your specific situation.
Keep Your Furniture Flipping Receipts Organized
Receipts have a way of disappearing when you need them most.
You buy something for a project and think, “I’ll remember what that cost.”
You won’t.
At least I don’t.
And when you have multiple projects going at the same time, it becomes even harder to remember what you spent on what.
The planner includes a place to keep track of receipts and expenses so you can keep your furniture flipping business records more organized.
This is especially helpful when you’re trying to figure out whether a project was actually profitable.
Know When It’s Time to Restock Your Supplies
Running out of your favorite paint color halfway through a project is not exactly ideal.
Neither is realizing you’re out of sandpaper, brushes, topcoat or the hardware you use all the time.
The restock tracker gives you a place to keep track of the supplies you use regularly so you can see what needs to be replenished.
It may seem like a small part of your business, but staying on top of supplies can save you time and keep projects moving.
Use Weekly and Monthly Planning Pages
Furniture flipping doesn’t always happen in a neat Monday-through-Friday schedule.
You might source furniture on Saturday, pick something up Tuesday, paint Wednesday, photograph it Thursday and sell it two weeks later.
Having weekly and monthly planning pages gives you a place to organize all of those moving pieces.
You can plan your projects, schedule pickups and deliveries, set aside time for painting and finishing, and keep track of the other business tasks that need to happen behind the scenes.
Because yes, there is a lot more to furniture flipping than painting.
Review Your Furniture Flipping Business
One of my favorite parts of having everything in one place is being able to look back.
Which projects made the most money?
Which ones took forever?
What types of furniture sold quickly?
Where did you spend more than you intended?
Are you taking on too many projects?
Are you hitting the goals you set?
Those are the kinds of questions that can help you make smarter decisions as you continue flipping furniture.
You don’t have to guess whether something is working.
You can look at your records and see what is actually happening in your business.
A Furniture Flipping Planner Should Work With Your Business
This is exactly why I created this Furniture Flipping Business Planner.
After more than twenty years of flipping furniture, I wanted something that reflected what actually happens when you flip furniture for profit.
Finding the piece is only the beginning.
There are expenses to track.
Projects to manage.
Supplies to restock.
Miles to record.
Receipts to organize.
Furniture to sell.
Goals to reach.
And numbers to review.
Having a system for all of those things can make the business side of furniture flipping feel much more manageable.
