Recovery and Resilience

Getting back on track and staying there.

Running your own business can be a lonely occupation. Even more so when things begin to go wrong and matters start to become serious. Who is around to help to diagnose and resolve these problems?

Most consultants produce a glossy report and then disappear, leaving the proprietor to deal with the same issues whilst trying to keep on top of the business. At WLP, we can stay with you through the good and bad times, until we all agree that you can see the wood from the trees and the business is back to sustainable profitability. Should you want us to, we are happy to stick around after the project to ensure the business remains on track and succeeds.

We will:

  • Discuss the issues with you, the proprietor, and talk to the key staff to ascertain where they see the issues.
  • Identify the structure and roles and responsibilities.
  • Review the financial data and identify the break-even point.
  • Look at efficiency levels and compare to the competition.
  • Agree the way forward and an Action Plan with the proprietor.
  • Negotiate a practical way forward with the business funders.
  • Conduct regular meetings with the proprietor and key staff to monitor the business.
