When we initially start working with our clients, most of them will say that there are a ‘million things’ that need doing. The trick is to tackle the ones that give you the time and bandwidth to do the rest – often this relates to governance (how the business is run) where the MD is frequently a bottleneck.

If you implement proper governance, your systems and process grow with the business and won’t be dependent on you.  Without proper governance, the business will be forever dependent on you holding it together – and you will ultimately be its limiting factor. Getting this sorted early on frees up resource to do whatever needs to be done.

From there we can make sure your business plan, budget and financial models are robust and solid. And then we make sure that you’re looking at the right results and performance indicators and using them to make the right decisions for your business.

• Are you generating the right number of qualified leads?
• Are you converting those leads into valued customers?
• Do you understand how much profit you make and where you make it?
• Are you converting profit into cash and are you using and managing it effectively?

As your business grows, it is very important that you develop an outstanding team that will become your business. We’ll explore your ability to be an inspirational leader, your ability to lead yourself, and how effective you are at managing your time.

Unlike ordinary coaches, Pro-actions’ advisors aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves to get stuff done – we pride ourselves on it. We know many SMEs don’t have the spare resources in place to deal with lots of projects or pain points, which is why we are always prepared to get stuck in to help. We can plug any skills gaps you may have in the business on an interim basis, and also provide staff training if it’s required.
