Owner Focused Strategy

For a business to be successful, it must deliver for the owners.

Owner Strategy Circle Diagram-1

I have developed flexible programmes from my own experience as a business owner.

Lifestyle Circle

Enjoyable Lifestyle Businesses

My experience is that for a business to be truly successful it must deliver an enjoyable experience for its owners. Unhappy owners will have a negative impact on the culture and work experience for the whole team.

Can you enjoy the businesses reputation? Is your time in balance? Does it deliver for you financially? Do you have a team you can rely on?

An enjoyable lifestyle business, without excessive time demands, can be achieved. Make sure your business is "worth it".

Succession Circle

Succession Planning and Delivery

We all have to think about succession at some point, planning for it early prevents delays when you really need it.

Succession planning will also provide a really enjoyable phase of your business. Mentoring and watching leadership and processes grow, gave me some of my most fulfilling times as a business owner.

Starting to plan, is not the same as stepping down, there can be as big a gap as you want. In fact I believe business owners should start with succession in mind from the very beginning.

Sale Cirle

Are You and Your Business 'Sale Ready?'

Selling my business taught me that selling a business is very different from selling just about anything else. It takes; understanding, planning, preparation, willing parties and a good deal of patience and hard work.

I can help you; consider your options, make sure your business is in the right shape to achieve the best market value and then make preparations so it can be sold when the right party comes along.

Lived Experience

I have gained first hand experience of; operating, growing, maturing, buying and selling businesses over the last 25 years.
  • Leadership structure and business process development
  • Management buy out
  • Succession planning
  • Sale options (competitors, suppliers, customers, open market, MBO or private equity)

Everyone is different and so no single solution works for everyone. However, there are clear pathways, strategies and actions you can take to achieve an enjoyable lifestyle business, succession plan or sale.

Confidential and Flexible

  • Any discussion will be completely confidential and can take place at neutral venues, your premises or online.
  • Support can be structured as one off meetings or a regular session. This programme is completely flexible to your time and budget.

*I understand that this is a highly sensitive part of business ownership. All my work is always completely confidential and a specific NDA can be signed for reassurance if preferred.

I can also introduce you to other relevant parties if and when helpful.
