Take A Look At How We Have Helped Other Businesses

Home Improvements Company

Initial Objectives: 
To provide a range of “Exit Options” – our client, a successful business operating in the home improvements market with the client wishing to exit the business at a future point. He felt he had few options other than to close the business when he achieved a certain age.

​

The issues faced included:

Over reliance on the business owner, who made all the decisions, took all the risk, worked longer hours including weekends, missed out on other activities including family time and did not take the remuneration to reward his input.


We built out a number of exit strategy options for the client and were able to demonstrate what change was needed to meet his objectives. To do this we defined his personal and business objectives and built a strategy to a re-align his position within the business, which included a major personnel hire. Someone who he could trust to make similar decisions to his, take on responsibilities and provide reports to demonstrate that the business was able to function with success with less of his time input.

​

Over and above these initial objectives our programme resulted in business growth, improved margins, a level of systemisation, improved marketing output with increased enquiries and higher conversion rates, significantly improved business reporting and therefore business insight.
