What we actually do

Every engagement starts with a question: what is costing you money right now? Here are the areas where we spend most of our time.

Cash-flow restructuring

We map every inflow and outflow across a rolling 13-week window, identify where cash gets stuck and redesign payment terms, invoicing cycles and credit lines. Most clients free up 12–18% of working capital within the first quarter.

Operational efficiency

We time-study your core processes, from order intake through to fulfilment. Then we cut steps that add cost without adding value. A distribution client in Swansea reduced pick-and-pack time by 34% after a six-week sprint with us.

Growth-readiness planning

Scaling too fast breaks things. We stress-test your supply chain, hiring pipeline and IT stack against three revenue scenarios (10%, 25%, 50% growth) so you know exactly where the bottleneck will hit before it does.

Financial modelling

Spreadsheets that actually answer questions. We build scenario-driven models for pricing changes, capex decisions and debt restructuring, then hand them over with a 90-minute training session so your finance team owns the tool.

Leadership coaching

Owner-managers carry every decision. We run fortnightly one-to-one sessions focused on delegation frameworks, conflict resolution and board-level communication. Engagements run for six months minimum to build real habits.

How an engagement works

Four stages, typically eight to twelve weeks from first call to delivered plan.

1

Diagnostic call (free, 30 minutes)

You tell us what hurts. We ask questions about revenue, margins, team size and the one thing keeping you up at night. By the end we both know whether there is a fit.

2

Deep-dive week

One of our consultants spends three to five days on-site. They interview key staff, review financial reports going back 24 months and observe daily operations. We pay for our own coffee.

3

Findings and action plan

You receive a written report: no jargon, no 80-slide decks. It lists the top five issues ranked by financial impact, with costed recommendations and a timeline for each.

4

Implementation support

We stay involved for four to eight weeks while changes land. Weekly check-ins, ad-hoc calls when things get tricky, and a final review to measure results against the baseline we set in stage two.

Common questions

Fees depend on scope. A standalone cash-flow restructuring project for a company turning over £1–3m typically runs between £4,500 and £8,000. Larger operational reviews with on-site time cost more. We quote a fixed fee before any work begins, so there are no hourly surprises.

Yes. About a third of our clients are in the English Midlands and South West. We travel for the deep-dive week and handle everything else remotely. International projects are possible but rare; our strength is UK market context.

Most of our clients have between 10 and 120 employees and turn over £500k to £15m. Sole traders rarely need what we offer, and FTSE-listed firms have in-house strategy teams already. The sweet spot is the owner-managed business that has outgrown its original way of working.

After the diagnostic call, if we both want to proceed, we can arrange a short phone reference with two former clients in a similar sector. We never publish testimonials publicly because our clients value discretion, but we are happy to make introductions privately.

We are not grant writers, but we regularly help clients prepare the financial forecasts and business plans that funding bodies require. We also keep a current list of Welsh Government and Development Bank of Wales schemes relevant to SMEs and can point you in the right direction.
