ROOTS FOR GROWTH

START UP SUPPORT

We love your energy, enthusiasm and commitment. You’ve started your business in the last few years and you’re still finding your feet.

It may still be early days for your business, but we know you’ve got the ideas, the passion and the energy to make it happen.

You find the commercial and contracts side time-consuming, mysterious and complicated.
You tell us that you’re tempted to stick your head in the sand and ignore the boring legal stuff (hope it goes away).
You want to be running a safe, legitimate, commercially- savvy business…but you don’t know where to start.

Does this sound familiar?

you lose sleep worrying about cash flow and find yourself wasting time chasing up bad debts
you’ve no idea whether to sign the contract which has been put in front of you (you don’t even understand most of it!)
you spend time worrying about how to stop someone stealing your ideas and your products.
you kind of know you need to be thinking about trademarks, copyright, protecting your brand…but don’t know how to go about it.
you feel out of your depth having conversations with suppliers and customers about terms of trading and end up feeling screwed over in negotiations

LET US HELP.

Within the "Get Savvy Business Club" you get access to expert support within a supportive community. We’ll help you nail your contracts, get your trading relations onto a secure foundation, firm up your cash flow and put in place a proper commercial strategy.

CONSULTANCY

Established SMEs

You’ve established your business, grown it steadily, and you’ve got a team of people delivering results for you. You’ve already experienced the ups and downs of business and you’ve dabbled in the commercial /legal stuff yourself so you know what you’re looking for by way of support.

As a savvy entrepreneur you already know that the best way to grow a business is to increase revenue, maximise profit and protect your valuable assets.

And that growth of a small business means entering the big bad world of affiliates, partnerships, referrals and distribution chains. So no doubt you and your management team are already learning “on the job” about commercial strategy, contracts, negotiation, finance and growth.

You're trusting and bringing on board partners, affiliates, employees, suppliers, purchasing systems and processes.

YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER.

We provide the perfect solution for established SMEs to have commercial solutions at your fingertips but without the cost of recruiting a full time Commercial/Legal team. For a set number of hours a month you can dip in and out of our service, getting help when you need it and having us on call when you don’t.
