What I offer:
I will thoroughly review your business situation and finances, provide recommendations and work with you to find a way forward.
I will look “outside the box” with you - there may be a way forward that you have not previously considered. Running a business can be a very lonely and sometimes emotional experience. I can provide the support you require.
If required, I will mediate on your behalf. If relationships have broken down, I will speak to your Bank, suppliers etc.
It may be that your business has reached a stage where there are few options left. That is not the end of the world.
- What has happened has happened and you might not be able to change that but it is essential that you move on.
- New opportunities exist all around, so look to the future with confidence.
- Change is inevitable and once accepted, it can be liberating and a force for good in your business and personal life.
- Business problems often lead to personal and family dilemmas so if we can sort out the business, hopefully you can also set this area back on-track.
By nature, business people don't give up easily but sometimes the pressures are such that we can't clearly and objectively see a way forward. While advisers within business advisory bodies will seldom have experienced the day to day stresses of running a business and insolvency practitioners may oversee the winding up of your business, if there is any scope at all, I would like to think I can take a different approach.
You need someone who has been there and done it, to help you fight for what you have created. In addition to having considerable business experience to enable me to offer this service, I am a fully qualified Independent Financial Adviser and these two disciplines enable me to provide solutions and contacts from many sources.
Contact me, there is no obligation and I might just be able to assist.
What I need from you:
Complete openness and honesty about your business problems
Access to information
To be open to change
The will to succeed
Cost:
There is no charge for an initial fact finding meeting*. Subsequently, any fees charged will be on an individual case basis and dependent on financial circumstances. Only when recommendations are offered and a course of action is agreed which meets your objectives, will remuneration be discussed.
* If an initial meeting is outwith the immediate Aberdeen area and necessitates considerable time out of the office, there will be a basic charge to cover travel costs and time spent away from the office.
Consultancy for new and start-up businesses.
In starting a new business, theoretical advice is offered by a number of agencies, very few however will have the practical experience of setting up a new venture and sustaining a business.
The day-to-day, practical and emotional aspects of running a business are extremely challenging and demanding. I can offer support and advice on all of the very personal and realistic obstacles you will encounter.
