Business Strategy
What is the business trying to achieve and how should it get there? Most businesses have a plan when they set off on their journey. After a bit of time, what is often missing is re-calibration on the compass and sometimes redefining the endpoint.
As Mike Tyson once stated, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. Doing business is a bit like this, and plans must forever be adapted along the way.
Marketing planning and branding
You have a brilliant product and brand, you now need to find ways to let people know what it is you do and how it can help them achieve their goals. This means understanding your customers, what they really want, how your product makes them feel and then working out what they need to see and hear.
Financial planning and modelling
Help to understand what your current finances look like, i.e. your P&L, cash flow and balance sheet. What are the future projections, and what are the risks and requirements? This need not be complicated. A few simple checks can help you fix any issues and spend more time on the fun stuff.
If you want to go further or need to give your numbers an overhaul, we love doing the financial modelling and forecasting needed to put a sensible plan in place.
Funding plan
Getting funding is a daunting task. Setting the right valuation, managing existing shareholders, finding new investors, choosing the right method, coming up with the right pitch etc. We can help navigate through the options.
We can also provide financial modelling and help you craft the perfect business plan, both of which are essential for any raise.
Channel and Product planning
Guidance with sales strategy covering retail, DTC (Direct to consumer) and export. What products go should be sold to who and how.
Direct to Consumer implementation
Helping you with the strategy and setup to sell directly to the consumer. This is much more than an alternative to selling via the retailers, it’s about control, direct interaction with your end customer, and the ability to test and get feedback, all while adding another powerful sales channel to your business.
Supply Chain planning and supplier management
We can look at what you are currently doing, what bits are causing headaches and then find solutions. We can advise the best routes forward considering costs, complexity and sustainability.
We are also able to do put together tools and models so you can get more control over what you do.
Founder coaching
Helping founders be clear on their personal objectives and their objectives as a business. Once you are clear on your own aspirations, you will find it so much easier to orientate your business goals around your own.

If you are not sure what to tackle first, our 15-Hour Sprint is a great place to start.
