Not Sure Which Service Suits You?
The right choice depends on your current situation and what challenges you're facing. Here's a rough guide, though there's overlap between them.
Consider Start-Up Support if:
You're in the early stages of building a business and need help thinking through decisions. You're not sure about your business plan or financial projections. You feel like you're figuring things out as you go and would benefit from someone to talk things through with regularly.
Consider Team Development if:
You're employing people or planning to, and realise that managing them effectively is more challenging than you expected. You need help with recruitment, performance management, or difficult conversations. You want to build a better team culture but aren't sure how.
Consider Exit Planning if:
You're thinking about eventual retirement, sale, or succession—even if it's years away. You want to understand your options and what might improve the value of your business. You need help preparing for a transition but don't know where to start.
