Business & Management
Commercial decisions, business planning and experienced guidance for owners, including virtual non-executive director (VNED) support.
A decision to make. A problem to work through.
You may know something needs to change without knowing where to start. Or you may have a clear plan and want an experienced second opinion before committing time and money.
We help you understand the situation, consider the options and decide what to do.
Where we can help
- Business plans, forecasts and commercial priorities.
- Decisions about a new product, service or market.
- Management problems, responsibilities and ways of working.
- Restructuring or changing direction.
- Preparing for a sale, handover or an owner stepping back.
Experience that comes from doing it
We have owned, run, restructured, modernised and sold small businesses. We bring that experience to your decisions, including knowing when specialist advice is needed.
If the decision leads to practical work, we can help carry it out.
Being CEO is the loneliest job on earth.
Even the best staff, your family and other shareholders have their own agenda. Nobody else is working towards exactly what you’re trying to achieve.
We start by understanding what success means to you. That’s what we help you work towards—with the guidance, advice and honest challenge that can only come from having been there.
Ongoing Leadership Support
- Regular discussions about performance, priorities and decisions.
- Challenging plans and testing assumptions.
- Keeping agreed actions moving.
- Working through management and commercial issues as they arise.
- Preparing for changes in ownership or leadership.
- Virtual non-executive director support.
An agreed role
We agree the responsibilities, time commitment and price at the outset, including whether our involvement is advisory, hands-on or a combination of both.
