EXPERTISE TO TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS

Exit and Succession

Every owner exits at some time! There are five ways to exit a business, so when the time comes for you, make sure you exit on your terms and at maximum value. We can tailor an exit or succession plan and manage the exit around your long or short-term goals based on your personal and business objectives.

Strategic Growth

Together we will identify key strategies for business growth and align this with your company’s strengths, opportunities, and capabilities. This could include mergers, acquisitions, sales growth, productivity improvement, or organisational change. Whatever the goal, strategic growth requires a plan to ensure you achieve your objectives.

Leadership and Culture

Effective communication and leadership are critical business success factors. Let us help you get the best out of your team through insightful mentorship resulting in your personal insight and development. Build a purposeful culture of accountability, performance, engagement, and retention.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

  • As I near retirement age, having a succession plan became important to me. I wanted to set up a small board of directors to oversee both the running of the business, and the succession and transfer of responsibility to my son. Steve’s input has been invaluable, and I feel we are making good progress, and the business is doing well, in no small part due to Steve’s input and advice.

    John Harrison, Managing Director, Cedarlite Industries Ltd

  • A few people can map out a clear path ahead when it all looks a bit murky. A few people can take a complex plan and execute it. A few people can enrol and lead their team through big change and do it with style. With Steve, you get a rare individual who can do it all.

    Mark Forsyth, Managing Director, Acacia Retail Fresh Limited

  • I knew from the first meeting that Steve was going to be a turning point for me and my business. He listened to my wants and needs, where I want to be and what I feel is stopping me. Gives direction, that is advice and not orders and has helped me to stand back and look at my business as a whole. I now have the confidence and direction to take my business to another level.
