Possibly the bank has called us on your behalf.
If you’re lucky, we might get the call before it’s too late.
The symptoms are always the same.
Creditors pressing for payment, the bank refusing to provide any more overdraft, suppliers asking for payment in advance, customers asking why orders have not been delivered and all generally at the same time.
And just to make the problem worse, there’s the IRD demanding payment of unpaid PAYE and GST.
It’s not only challenging to see another business about to fail but it’s also quite depressing … Especially when the business owners have personal guarantees, business debt secured against the family home and all the owner’s dreams hanging in the balance.
It’s even more depressing when kids are involved.
So, in spite of what might seem insurmountable, you MUST plan to turn things around.
And the first step is the easiest and the most difficult at the same time …
… it’s to be honest with yourself and about your business.
If you are prepared to do this, then you are well on the way to turning things around.
And that’s the first thing we will help you do, to be honest with yourself and about your business.
We have taken businesses that were losing thousands each month to profitability, within a short period of time.

What we do
Every business owner knows that in business there are highs and lows – customers are happy, sales are good and cash flow is strong. Then suddenly it all changes, debtors don’t pay on time, you can’t pay suppliers, the bank won’t lend you more money, and so it goes on.
That’s where I can help - help SECURE your business so that the position doesn’t get any worse. Help REBUILD your business so that it is more insulated against future changes in fortune, and then GROW your business so that you can realise the potential you have always dreamed about.
And at all times acting as your conscience by continuing to ask you this one fundamental question:
“Am I being honest with myself and about my business?”
“In every success story, you will find someone who has made a courageous decision.” —Peter F Drucker, management consultant, educator, and author
