The Challenge: Cashflow Pressure Despite Growth

A growing wholesale business was facing ongoing cash flow pressure, despite increasing revenue and profitability. Every month, there was a constant struggle to meet creditor payments, creating significant financial stress and limiting growth opportunities.

Our Approach: A Structured Recovery Plan

We worked closely with the client to regain control and improve financial stability through:

• A clear 12–24 month business roadmap with defined goals and actions

• Financial restructuring to improve cash flow and business stability

• Stock and purchasing reviews to reduce excess inventory and free up cash

• Regular margin and profitability tracking for better financial visibility

• A structured sales strategy to improve revenue and customer retention

• Ongoing 1:1 business coaching and accountability support

The Results: Stability, Profitability & Growth

✅ Profit on track to more than double year-on-year
✅ Gross margin increased from 18% to 22%
✅ More stable and predictable cash flow
✅ Greater confidence to pursue future growth and investment opportunities

The Challenge: Declining profitability & margin pressure

A recruitment and labour hire company came to us during a difficult period. Despite strong revenue, profitability had fallen significantly, margins were tightening, and the business owner lacked clarity around what was driving the decline.

“It's coming up to 6 months that I've been working with Liam as a business coach/advisor. I really enjoyed the process at the beginning—I got to talk about my business as Liam asked questions that really got me thinking about the long-term, the structure and the opportunities that exist in my industry.  Ironically, I started to understand my business much better—its strengths, its weaknesses, where I wanted to go and what I wanted to achieve.

I've felt a lot of support from Liam and have enjoyed having someone 'on my team', who I can check in with and get the answers I need when I need them. One of Liam's strengths is his ability to ask really great questions that get me thinking about the big picture and how my business can capitalize on the opportunities we have in front of us.

I'm excited about what the next 6 months will bring and I would recommend Liam to anyone looking to inject some inspiration and financial experience into their business.”
