“You started your business to build something better. More freedom, more control, more time with your family. If that’s not what you’ve got, something in the business needs to change.”
Dave Grant
Fixing cash flow and getting North Shore business owners their life back
Most business owners I meet are working 50 or 60 hours a week. Revenue looks reasonable on paper, but there’s nothing left at the end of the month. The business falls apart when they step away. They know something needs to change but can’t see where to start.
I’ve spent 30 years building, running, and fixing businesses across IT, construction, franchising, and property. I built a company from 5 to 40 people. I also nearly lost everything when a franchise I owned went under. Those experiences taught me something no textbook can: how to walk into a business and see where the profit is hiding.
Hands-on, not just advice
I don’t write reports and leave you to figure it out. I work inside your business, alongside you. We find the problems that are actually costing you money, fix them, and build the systems so they stay fixed.
- A panelbeater in Glenfield grew his business while competitors were closing.
- A printing company owner found cash she didn’t know she was leaving on the table.
- A mechanics shop went from consistent losses to consistent profit within six months.
What I work on with business owners:
- Cash flow and profitability: finding the money your business is leaving behind
- Systems and operations: building the business so it runs without you in every decision
- Exit preparation: getting the business ready to sell, or ready for you to step back
- Planning, Strategy, Systems, Sales and Marketing, H&S, HR, AI
Why I do this
I’ve been where you are. I know what it’s like when the pressure builds and there’s no obvious way out. A mate once told me “the sharpest blade goes through the hottest furnace.”. I’ve been there. He was right. The best part of what I do now is watching the change in the owner of the business. Not just the numbers improving, but them becoming a different person. Less pressure. More time with the family. A business that works for them instead of the other way around.
