In short we boost the profitability of private companies. Often times, this work leads to us being engaged to assist the owner transition or exit the business  – such as a private equity buyout or a trade sale or a succession.

For instance, we recently turned around the performance of a distressed scientific services company (liquidation value circa $2m) and in just over 2 years sold the business for $11.5m to a listed European group.

Our Pledge:

We only undertake an engagement where the value we create is 3 (to 10) times the price we charge you.

These 5 categories, summarise the ‘traps’  our customers find themselves in:

1. Fighting for Survival
2. Cannot Scale the Business
3. Poor Decision Making
4. Unclear Vision or Strategy
5. No Viable Exit Plan

Our success rate in getting businesses “unstuck” is due in part to:

• We sort the People side of things out up front. Ensuring square pegs are in square holes.
• We don’t use trendy one size fits all consulting methodologies; instead straightforward problem-solving techniques with solutions specific to the business problem.
• We empower employees (at all levels) to behave more like owners than employees.
• Our breadth and depth of skills in specific functions. On our team are specialists in investment banking, forensic accounting, process improvement, HR, strategy and performance measurement.

 Our Fee Guarantee:

Every project is on a fixed-price, up-front basis – there are no surprises.

Our goal is that each engagement results in a win-win – where you profit and we profit from the relationship.

And if you don’t profit as expected (it happens) then we adjust the price accordingly.
