Get perspective on your business
Business consulting for small business owners who want to make better decisions, improve profitability and build a business that works better for them.
Running a business can be all-consuming.
Running a small business can be rewarding, but it's easy to reach a point where you're working harder than you want to, carrying too much of it yourself and wondering what needs to change.
You might be unsure what to focus on, whether you're charging enough, which opportunities are worth pursuing or how to make the business work without everything coming back to you.
You know there are things that need changing, but finding the time to step back and work out what those things are can be difficult when you're busy running the business.
It helps to have someone outside the business who can look at what's going on, ask the right questions, challenge your thinking and help you work out what to do next.
WHERE I HELP
Every business is different, so we start with what's happening in yours.
I'll look at the different parts of your business and help you identify what's having the biggest impact on your time, profit and ability to move forward.
Profit & pricing
Are you making enough from the work you're doing? We can look at your pricing, services and numbers to understand where there may be opportunities to improve profitability.
Your offer
Look at what you're selling, who you're selling it to and whether your services are working as well as they could.
Strategy & growth
Work out where the business is going, what opportunities are worth pursuing and what you should focus on next.
Time & workload
Identify what's taking up your time, what's sitting with you unnecessarily and where there are opportunities to create more space.
People & delegation
Work out what needs to stay with you, what can be handed over and what needs to change as the business grows.
Systems, processes & technology
Look at how the business currently works and identify where things could be simpler, more efficient or less dependent on you.
The focus isn't on doing everything differently. It's on working out what matters most and what needs to change.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
01. BUSINESS REVIEW
90 minutes · £160
A focused session for when you know something isn't working as well as you'd like, but you're not sure what needs to change.
I'll review some information about your business beforehand, then we'll spend 90 minutes looking at what's happening and talking through the areas that matter most.
I'll give you my perspective, challenge your thinking where needed and help you work out what to prioritise.
You'll receive a written summary afterwards, including the key points we've discussed and the actions I'd recommend taking next.
A good place to start if you need some clarity on what's going on in your business.
02. STRATEGY DAY
Full day · £550
A Strategy Day gives us the time to properly step back from the day-to-day and look at the bigger picture.
We'll spend a focused day working through the areas that are most important to you and your business.
Depending on what's happening, we might look at your offer, pricing, profitability, customers, marketing, workload, team, growth plans or the way the business currently operates.
I'll help you work through the options, challenge your thinking and identify where I think the biggest opportunities are.
We'll finish with a clear set of priorities and a practical plan for what to focus on.
For business owners who need to step back, make some decisions and work out what comes next.

I'm Rachel, and I help small business owners make better decisions about their businesses.
I like getting into how a business actually works, looking at the numbers, customers, offer, marketing, people and processes, and working out what's really going on.
Sometimes the answer is something practical that needs fixing. Sometimes it's a decision that needs making. And sometimes it's simply about stepping back far enough to see the business differently.
My role is to give you an outside perspective, ask the questions that might not be getting asked and help you work out where to focus.
