Capital Window Tinting: The Beansprout Bursary Scheme
Originally starting as a car tinting and detailing business, Capital Window Tinting quickly discovered a growing demand for privacy and UV and heat-protection film on domestic and commercial properties. This created a new niche and a fast-scaling business. But like many start-ups, they launched with a great idea… and very little financial or admin knowledge to support it.
When the founders launched the business, they were still working full-time jobs and juggling the steep learning curve of running a side business.After being recommended to Beansprout by a contact, they had an honest chat with Helen, who could clearly see the potential, and the practical support they needed. And so she introduced the Beansprout Bursery.
Client: Capital Window Tinting
“When we started in June 2024, we didn’t understand bookkeeping or anything finance-related. The website was still in progress; we didn’t have Google listings sorted, no admin, and no tools. We were just trying to get going.”
Beansprout’s support through the bursary went far beyond accounting. With monthly check-ins, clear targets, and a step-by-step approach, she helped the team establish solid foundations, from the essential admin they’d missed (like data protection registration and terms & conditions) to networking with other small businesses.
They’ve also grown their network through Beansprout events and introductions, gaining connections that helped move the business forward in other areas, too.
“They didn’t just look at our numbers. She showed us how to set up properly, step by step, so we could grow. We’d meet monthly, and each time she’d give us tasks to move forward. It gave us structure and confidence.”
In just under a year, Capital Window Tinting has:
- Matched the previous year’s revenue in just the first quarter of 2025
- Saved thousands by learning what they could claim back, especially on utilities and everyday business expenses
- Established a professional online presence with the right registrations and terms in place
- Built lasting confidence in their financial setup and long-term growth plans
