"HELPS"
model means that your business can focus on the things that really matter if you are serious about profitably growing your business, and the partners of Inspired Business Vision can provide the expert advice required for you to get it right gained from our many years of real world experience.
We are passionate about wanting to help SME businesses and provide advice that will really make a difference to your business, and help you fulfil your potential. All businesses have advisors, but in many cases they are there to ensure that the statutory requirements are met and do not provide the pro-active, entrepreneurial, and commercial advice that can really make a difference. We often work with the current advisors of a business to provide the additional value of advice and an independent viewpoint, gained from our experience of having run businesses. We get things done, and with our experience we know how to approach things that may seem very challenging.
The reasons why we can make a difference to your business:
We have financial expertise as Chartered Accountants having provided advice to many SME businesses, combined with the benefit of hands on experience of having occupied Director/ Shareholder positions in a number of businesses.
By having occupied Managing Director, Finance Director, Operations Director, and Chief Executive roles we understand the real day to day practical issues and challenges that a business faces. Every aspect of the services we provide, the Partners have personal hands on experience of, and over the years this has provided many lessons and experience. We are now passionate about passing this experience on to other SME businesses, to assist them in their growth and to enhance value.
Our experience is far and wide and includes all things financial, business plans, raising finance, business sales and acquisitions, corporate finance, VC investment, HR management, operations, sales and marketing, and much more all gained in a hands on situation as Director/Shareholders and advisors. Our offering of such a wide range of services backed up by real world hands on experience, makes it a very attractive proposition to businesses with real ambition.
We encourage businesses to take a pro-active commercial approach to protect and enhance value, and to always be one step ahead to maximise their position. Look at the cash flow 6-12 months ahead, get new customers now, improve operational efficiency, source alternative suppliers, a business needs daily attention if you want to get the best value from it.
We advise businesses from start-up situations to large owner managed SME’s to provide the appropriate advice at the right time in your businesses development.
We would be delighted to have the opportunity to discuss your business with you, and show where we may be able to help. Our aim is in our title, to provide your business with Inspired Business Vision to help you meet the challenges and enhance value, and pass on our experience of strategic vision and entrepreneurial flair gained over many years.
