ADEPT helps the owners of privately owned companies solve problems and protect their business from a destruction in value often caused by the predatory behaviour of other shareholders, employees, lenders, customers, and suppliers plus the problems that often arise from spousal and family disputes.

DASH - Financial ratios provide the business owner with valuable information about how the business is performing. But they can be difficult to understand. DASH changes that. It’s a tool that, not only is easy to understand because information is provided in a visual form that is instantly recognisable (everyone understands the traffic light concept of GO, PAUSE and STOP) but the accompanying explanation is simple and easy to understand.
