Business Advisory Services

Business Structure & Funding

Our support and guidance can commence before your business is launched, with decisions regarding structure and ownership, Ltd vs LLP, different classes of equity, types of funding, and legal paperwork.

Although many of these elements will naturally change over time, making the right decisions at the outset is critical to getting started and creating the foundations for future success.

Financial Planning & Forecasting

Whether you’re an established business or start-up, financial planning is a must.

As your business grows, so will the need for financial planning. Initially, it will support the owners, investors and funders. But this will quickly need to develop in order to drive and support all aspects of your leadership team and the management of your business.

Effective planning will improve business performance, driving growth and success.

Management Information & Reporting

We would like to share a little secret with you… The most successful businesses usually have the best management and information systems. Given that, it’s surprising how many still fall short or need improvement.

The art is balancing simplicity with relevance, accuracy, and timing – easier said than done, maybe – but something we’re more than able to help you achieve. We have seen the best in class and the benefits that it brings to management and their decision making.

Development & Growth

The challenges of growing a business, once you have successfully negotiated the early stages, naturally continue and increase in complexity. Maintaining momentum and improving performance is often harder than getting started.

Growth inevitably requires investment – in people, marketing, infrastructure, retaining talent, IT and beyond – all of which needs to be financed. The quality of your financial planning, communication and reporting systems will be critical in order to fund and fuel your plans for growth.

Business Sale & Acquisition

Although it’s unlikely to be on a regular basis, you can at some stage expect to face the process of buying another business or selling your own. Often, this comes at the point where others recognise the value of what you’ve built, or as a result of the growth of your business. Whatever the reason, the sale and acquisition process involves a host of different and unfamiliar challenges.

We understand the significance and importance in guiding you through the process, achieving the very best results and working closely with your legal, corporate finance, and banking partners.

HR & Employer Services

As experienced business owners, we know how important people are to your success. Strengthening your team, employee engagement, diversity, succession plans, and employer brand will enhance your business and support growth.

It’s all about knowing your goals and evaluating your team against those future ambitions, to create a successful people strategy.
