BUSINESS ADVISORY SERVICES - THE GUIDANCE YOU NEED TO SCALE

You want to grow from £2M to £5M.

But you don't know:

- What systems to implement

- How to hire and structure team

- Where to invest for growth

- How to optimize operations

- What your bottlenecks are

You could hire a consultant (£5,000-£15,000 for project).

Or find an ongoing advisor (someone you trust, who knows your business).

THE PROBLEM

Growing without guidance:

- You make expensive mistakes

- You implement wrong systems

- You hire wrong people

- You invest in wrong areas

- You waste £50,000-£200,000+ on wrong decisions

THE SOLUTION: BUSINESS ADVISOR

An advisor works with you ongoing:

- Monthly strategy meetings

- Quarterly business reviews

- Specific project guidance

- Problem-solving

- Industry insights

- Peer benchmarking

- Growth roadmap development

Cost: £2,000-£5,000/month

Result:

- Clear growth strategy

- Better decision-making

- Faster growth (with guidance)

- Avoided mistakes (saves £50,000-£200,000+)

- Confidence in direction

IMPACT: GROWTH ACCELERATION

Example: £2M company with advisor

Without advisor:

- Year 1: Grow to £2.3M (+15%)

- Year 2: Grow to £2.6M (+13%)

- Year 3: Grow to £2.9M (+12%)

- 3-year revenue: £7.8M

With advisor:

- Year 1: Grow to £2.6M (+30% - strategy fixes)

- Year 2: Grow to £3.5M (+35% - improved systems)

- Year 3: Grow to £5M (+43% - optimized operations)

- 3-year revenue: £11.1M

Difference: £3.3M in additional revenue

Cost of advisor: 3 years × £36,000/year = £108,000

Additional revenue: £3.3M

Gross margin (30%): £1M

Profit: £892,000

ROI: 8x+
