The most common problems for business owners

Business owners come to me at various stages in their working lives, and from the whole spectrum of industry sectors.

However, they have one thing in common: a willingness to make positive change. Here are some of the comments I hear most often:

Solving the problems

When you run a business, it’s easy to become trapped within it. You’re so immersed in the day-to-day issues that it’s almost impossible to see the bigger, future picture.

Business consultancy is an opportunity to look at the business, and yourself, from a fresh angle. It clears your vision.

The process itself is straightforward. It works like this:

FAQs

You’ll probably have a few questions so I’ve answered some of them below. If your question isn’t there, please feel free to call me on 07815 134 432. I’d be happy to answer it.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

All kinds of business, both large and small. This includes not-for-profits such as charities.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked with start-ups and established businesses in a huge variety of sectors — from financial and legal services and to tech, manufacturing and creative industries.

Put simply, no matter the industry sector, I can help you.

Does it matter that you’re not an expert in my particular industry?

Not at all. In fact, it’s an advantage because as an outsider, I can quickly see issues which may not be obvious to an industry expert.

When you’re close to a business, it’s difficult to view it objectively. It’s my job to offer a fresh perspective.

I don’t need to be an expert in your industry. In my experience, no matter the sector, the key issues nearly always revolve around people.

Which services do you offer?

My services cover four key stages in business: 

  • Start-up consultancy if your enterprise is in its early stages 
  • Business development consultancy when want to grow an existing business 
  • Business exit strategy for control over when and how you move on

Transition coaching which helps you work through the feelings, concerns and choices you’re facing

Do you offer online consultancy?

Yes, I can deliver consultancy services online.

However, face-to-face consultancy generally works more effectively. When I’m there, seeing you in your working environment, it helps me get a proper feel for the business. It works both ways because we can build a proper relationship.

How long does the process take?

It’s up to you. Right from the start, we’ll discuss the timescale so that we’re both happy with how long the process will take.

I’m not the sort of business consultant who will stick around for the sake of it. Once the new strategy is bedded in, and everyone is happy with it, that’s my job done.

Will you tailor your services according to what I need?

Always. Each business is different, as are the individuals within it. What works for one business will not necessarily work for another, so my services are bespoke.

Do you deliver staff training?

Yes. If we’ve introduced new skills and processes, I’ll make sure everyone is fully trained and completely happy with implementing them. If there’s a change of role, I’ll help the individual make a smooth transition.

Training can include financial planning (for non-experts), communication skills, one-to-one performance coaching, leadership skills and several more that I don’t have space to mention.
