Our services


  1. [01]

    Strategy, Marketing and Sales

    A business that relies on one big client is only ever one email away from a very difficult month. We help you identify new income sources and decide where to grow, so no single client holds power over your business’s success. We also develop marketing and sales processes that help you win the right work.

    Benefit:
    Targeted client acquisition, revenue diversification, and business plans.
    Duration:
    4–12 weeks.
    Pricing:
    Project-based, paid against milestones.
    Booking:

    Operations, Systems and Compliance

    Winning a contract you can’t deliver is worse than losing it. Missed deadlines caused by inefficient processes can reduce profitability and damage your reputation. We plan the people, processes and controls behind every promise you make. We help replace spreadsheets and workarounds with custom tools that fit your business and automate admin and compliance activities so your team can focus on sales and creating value for your customers.

    Benefit:
    Efficient systems that allow your business to take on more work without compromising on quality.
    Duration:
    4–8 weeks, or ongoing monthly support.
    Pricing:
    Project fee or monthly retainer.

    Financial Management and Pricing

    Plenty of profitable businesses close because the cash ran out first. Others stay busy for years without noticing that their biggest contract barely covers its own costs. We help you plan for downturns and implement measures to ensure you don’t miss payroll again. We also help you develop financial projections and models to attract funding for long-term projects.

    Benefit:
    Control of your cash, margins you can rely on, and proactive liquidity management.
    Duration:
    2–6 weeks.
    Pricing:
    Fixed fee per project.
    Booking:

    Project Execution

    Every growing business has the project it keeps putting off: the new branch, the system upgrade, the restructure, the market entry. It never starts, or it lands on staff who already have a packed job description or insufficient skills. Our team brings the skills you don’t have in-house, then scopes, runs and hands over the project from start to finish.

    Benefit:
    The project gets done, and your people stay focused on the work that keeps the business running.
    Duration:
    Agreed per project.
    Pricing:
    Fixed project fee or milestone payments.
    Booking:
    Book a consultation to scope your project.
