Performance turnaround
When a business is underperforming, we step in to find out why and fix it, whether the cause is costs, staffing, the offer, pricing or operations. Once it is stable, we can stay on as operator.
Signs
When a business needs more than effort.
- Revenue is flat or falling while costs rise.
- Staff turnover is high and service is inconsistent.
- The owner spends most of the week firefighting.
- Nobody can explain the numbers with confidence.
- Customers who tried the business do not come back.
How a turnaround runs
Diagnose, stabilise, improve, sustain.
Diagnose
We find the real causes in the numbers, the operation and the market.
Stabilise
We stop the losses that can be stopped quickly.
Improve
We fix the offer, pricing, staffing, suppliers and processes.
Sustain
We hand back a business that runs, or stay on as operator.
What we change
