Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a business health check and what does it include?

A business health check is a comprehensive assessment of your company’s financial performance, operational efficiency, compliance status, and growth potential. It includes analysis of your financial statements, cash flow patterns, tax obligations, business structure efficiency, and competitive positioning.

Our business health check covers 15 key areas including profitability analysis, cash flow forecasting, debt-to-equity ratios, operational cost analysis, tax efficiency review, compliance audit, market positioning assessment, and growth opportunity identification. You’ll receive a detailed report with actionable recommendations and priority action items within 48 hours.

2. How does strategic planning differ from regular business planning?

Strategic planning is a comprehensive, long-term approach that aligns your business vision with actionable goals, market opportunities, and resource allocation. Unlike regular business plans that focus on operations, strategic planning addresses competitive positioning, market expansion, risk management, and sustainable growth strategies.

Our strategic planning workshops include market analysis, competitor benchmarking, SWOT assessment, goal setting with measurable KPIs, resource allocation planning, and implementation roadmaps. We facilitate 2-day intensive sessions that result in a 3-5 year strategic plan with quarterly milestones and monthly action items.

3. What does financial planning and analysis include for small businesses?

Financial planning and analysis (FP&A) includes budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, KPI tracking, scenario planning, and strategic financial modeling. We help you understand your numbers, predict future performance, and make data-driven decisions for sustainable growth.

Our FP&A services cover monthly management reporting, rolling 12-month cash flow forecasts, budget vs actual analysis, profitability by product/service line, break-even analysis, and investment decision modeling. You’ll receive executive dashboards with key metrics and quarterly business reviews to keep you on track.

4. How can operational excellence review improve my business efficiency?

Operational excellence review identifies inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities across your business processes. We analyse workflow systems, resource utilisation, technology integration, and performance metrics to optimise operations and reduce costs.

Our review covers process mapping, technology audit, staff productivity analysis, customer journey optimisation, supplier relationship assessment, and automation opportunities. Most clients achieve 15-25% efficiency improvements and cost reductions within 6 months of implementing our recommendations.

5. What's included in growth strategy development for Australian businesses?

Growth strategy development includes market opportunity analysis, expansion planning, funding strategy, competitive positioning, and scalable systems implementation. We help you identify the best growth pathways while managing risks and resource requirements.

Our growth strategy process includes market research, customer segmentation analysis, revenue model optimisation, expansion feasibility studies, funding requirement calculations, and implementation planning. We’ve helped clients achieve 50-200% revenue growth through strategic expansion and market penetration strategies.

6. How does risk assessment and management protect my business?

Risk assessment identifies potential threats to your business including financial, operational, legal, and market risks. We develop comprehensive risk management frameworks with mitigation strategies, contingency planning, and monitoring systems to protect your business continuity.

Our risk management covers financial risk analysis, compliance risk assessment, operational risk evaluation, cybersecurity review, insurance needs analysis, and crisis management planning. We help you prepare for economic downturns, industry disruptions, and unexpected challenges that could impact your business.

7. What performance monitoring and KPIs should my business track?

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) vary by industry but typically include financial metrics (revenue growth, profit margins, cash flow), operational metrics (productivity, efficiency ratios), customer metrics (acquisition cost, lifetime value), and strategic metrics (market share, goal achievement).

We establish customised KPI dashboards with real-time tracking, automated reporting, and trend analysis. Our performance monitoring includes monthly scorecards, quarterly business reviews, and annual strategic assessments to ensure you’re meeting targets and adjusting strategies as needed.

8. How does strategic implementation support ensure success?

Strategic implementation support bridges the gap between planning and execution. We provide ongoing guidance, progress monitoring, obstacle resolution, and strategy adjustments to ensure your strategic plans translate into real business results.

Our implementation support includes monthly progress reviews, quarterly strategy adjustments, team coaching, change management support, and accountability systems. We act as your strategic partner, helping navigate challenges and maintain momentum throughout the implementation process.

9. Do you provide business advisory services for specific industries?

Yes, we specialise in business advisory for NDIS providers, construction and trades, hospitality and restaurants, plus charities and Aboriginal corporations. Each industry has unique challenges, regulations, and growth opportunities that require specialised knowledge and experience.

Our industry-specific advisory covers regulatory compliance, funding optimisation, operational best practices, risk management, and growth strategies tailored to your sector. We understand industry benchmarks, seasonal patterns, and market dynamics that impact your business success.

10. How much do business advisory and planning services cost?

Our business advisory services are priced based on scope and complexity, with packages starting from $2,500 for basic business health checks up to $15,000+ for comprehensive strategic planning workshops. We provide transparent fixed-fee pricing with clear deliverables and timelines.

Investment varies by service: Business Health Check ($990), Strategic Planning Workshop ($5,000-$8,000), Financial Planning & Analysis ($3,000-$6,000 quarterly), and ongoing advisory retainers from $1,500-$5,000 monthly. All services include follow-up support and implementation guidance.

11. Can you help with business restructuring and turnaround situations?

Absolutely. We specialise in business rescue and turnaround situations, including debt restructuring, operational reorganisation, and strategic repositioning. Our proven 3-phase process has helped save hundreds of businesses from closure while achieving sustainable profitability.

Our restructuring services include immediate cash flow stabilisation, creditor negotiations, operational cost reduction, revenue optimisation, and strategic repositioning. We’ve achieved an average 70-85% debt reduction and helped businesses return to profitability within 6-12 months.

12. How do I know if my business needs strategic planning or just operational improvements?

If you’re experiencing consistent growth but lack clear direction, facing increased competition, considering expansion, or struggling with resource allocation, you likely need strategic planning. If you have clear goals but inefficient processes, high costs, or operational bottlenecks, focus on operational improvements first.

We provide a complimentary 30-minute consultation to assess whether your business needs strategic planning, operational improvements, or both. Our diagnostic approach ensures you invest in the right solutions for your current situation and growth stage.
