You may have put together a business
plan when you started in business but it has
never been updated. Alternatively, you may have updated your
original plan with a view to raise
additional funding but the lenders
did not have confidence with the financial information.
It could be that the business has
become so disjointed that you are so far away from your original
plan that you wonder what went
wrong and what is needed to get back on track.
The solution for all of these is
to develop a more focussed plan
to take the business forward which has been developed with
a proper consideration of the options
ahead and the likely consequences
of your proposed actions.
We can help ensure the structure
of the plan is appropriate. We can
challenge the assumptions to ensure that they are robust.
We can translate your ambitions into figures. We can evaluate
the ‘what ifs’. We can
help you deliver it to interested parties. We are most of
all, independent and objective.
Most importantly, we can help you implement
it as part of your management team.

Coaching provides
a proactive way to develop
ones skills, especially on a one
to one basis. We all need support
at times in developing those skills
which are essential to a well run business. In an SME,
a lack of financial
knowledge can often put the business
under unnecessary pressure. What
better way to develop the financial
skills of you and your
staff than to have someone as part of your management
team that can contribute on an ongoing basis
during the normal course of business.

There is often no time to stand
back and assess the
business in an objective way. Being
an entrepreneur can also be a lonely
existence, with no one in the business
to confide in or even challenge
the decisions you make. Using our mentoring
skills we can be that independent
person who you can turn to when you cannot see the wood from
the trees. We provide challenge,
when appropriate, to ensure that your plans
are robust and be that person who you can trust to tell you
like it is when you most need it.

Business brings
stresses and strains
for everyone involved, including owners,
management and staff
at all levels. Often all you need is someone to listen.
We are patient listeners. Using our counselling
skills, we can help you and all your employees
cope with those difficult periods when things get too much.
We offer support when someone most needs it, in a friendly,
supportive and non judgemental
way.
