When the business needs saving, not just advice.
If revenue is declining, morale is low, or the business no longer looks or runs the way it should — you don't need another opinion. You need a structured diagnosis, a real restructuring plan, and someone who has actually run businesses through difficult periods, working alongside you to stabilise and rebuild.
- Sales Organisations
- Manufacturing
- Service Providers
- Hospitality
Small, medium and large businesses — every engagement is scoped individually and handled in strict confidence.
You already know something is wrong.
Most businesses in trouble don't fail from one big event — they erode, quietly, until the signs are impossible to ignore.
- Revenue declining or stagnant, with no clear cause identified
- High staff turnover, or low morale across teams
- Leadership unsure of the next strategic move
- Cash flow under constant pressure
- A brand and public image that no longer reflects the business
- Losing ground to competitors who used to be behind you
A structured path back to stable ground.
I work with small, medium and large businesses across sales, manufacturing, service and hospitality industries to diagnose what's actually happening inside the business, then build and help implement a real restructuring plan around it.
- A personnel evaluation to see who and what is actually driving performance
- Strategic restructuring across operations and organisation
- Corporate branding rebuilt to match where the business needs to go
- Direct, hands-on involvement — not a report that sits in a drawer
Built for businesses that are already operating.
This isn't a startup service — it's for existing small, medium and large businesses that need to stabilise, restructure and rebuild.
Sales Organisations
Underperforming sales teams, unclear structure, or a pipeline that no longer converts.
Manufacturing
Operational inefficiency, staffing misalignment, or margins under pressure.
Service Providers
Client attrition, inconsistent delivery, or a business that has outgrown its structure.
Hospitality
Staff turnover, guest experience decline, or a brand that no longer fits the market.
The Turnaround System.
Every engagement is scoped individually, but draws from the same core disciplines.
Personnel Evaluation
A direct assessment of the people in the business — roles, performance and fit — grounded in organisational psychology, not guesswork.
Organisational Restructuring
Rebuilding reporting lines, roles and operational structure so the business runs on a system, not on firefighting.
Strategic Planning
A clear, realistic plan for the next 12–24 months — what changes, in what order, and why.
Corporate Branding
A brand and public image rebuilt to reflect the business you're restructuring into, not the one that's struggling now.
Financial & Operational Diagnostic
A clear-eyed look at where money and time are actually going, and where the business is bleeding either.
Implementation Support
Hands-on involvement as changes roll out — not a report handed over and left with you to execute alone.
A paid diagnostic. Not a guess.
Because every business's problems are different, I don't start with a fixed package. I start with a structured diagnostic assessment — personnel, operations, financials and brand — so the restructuring plan that follows is built around what's actually happening in your business, not a generic template.
- Personnel & leadership evaluation
- Financial & operational review
- Brand & market position assessment
- Written findings & recommended next steps
A restructuring plan scoped to your business.
Once the diagnostic is complete, you receive a tailored proposal for the restructuring and implementation engagement. These bands give you a sense of scale — the exact scope and price are confirmed once we understand your business.

- Personnel evaluation, core team

Every diagnostic and engagement is handled discreetly. Staff, clients and competitors don't need to know a business is undergoing a turnaround unless you choose to communicate it — all consultations, documents and site visits are treated as strictly confidential. The full commitment is set out on the Privacy, Confidentiality & Ethics page.

Direct involvement, not a handoff
I stay hands-on through implementation — restructuring plans are worked through with you, not dropped off and left for you to execute alone.
Three phases. No guesswork.
Diagnostic & Assessment Phase 1
A confidential consultation followed by a structured diagnostic — personnel, operations, financials and brand — for a fixed fee confirmed upfront. You receive a written report with findings and recommended direction.
Strategic Restructuring Plan Phase 2
Based on the diagnostic, you receive a tailored proposal and restructuring plan — personnel changes, operational structure, branding direction and a realistic timeline for the business's size and situation.
Implementation Support Phase 3
Hands-on involvement as the plan rolls out — personnel changes, branding rollout and operational restructuring — with a cadence of check-ins agreed for the length of the engagement.
Before you reach out.
What types of businesses is this for?
Existing small, medium and large businesses that are underperforming or in difficulty — across sales organisations, manufacturing, service providers and hospitality. This is not a startup service; it's for businesses that are already operating and need to stabilise and restructure.
Why isn't there a fixed price on this page?
Because a struggling 10-person business and a struggling 200-person business need genuinely different work. Rather than force every business into the same fixed package, I start with a paid diagnostic, then scope a restructuring proposal around what your business actually needs.
How much does the diagnostic cost?
The diagnostic is a fixed fee, confirmed with you at your initial confidential consultation, based on the size and complexity of the business. It's a paid, structured assessment — not a free sales call — and part of the fee is credited toward your restructuring engagement if you proceed.
What does the personnel evaluation actually involve?
A direct evaluation of the people in the business — roles, performance and fit for the positions they're in — drawing on my background as an industrial psychologist working inside some of the world's largest IT companies. The goal is to see clearly who and what is actually driving, or holding back, performance.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Every consultation, diagnostic and engagement is handled discreetly. You control what staff, clients or the market are told, and when. The full detail is on the Privacy, Confidentiality & Ethics page.
Do you work with businesses outside your own country?
Yes. After 25+ years living and working across South Africa, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, England, Spain and Paraguay, this consultancy works with businesses internationally, not just locally, including on-site visits where appropriate.
Can you guarantee the business will be saved?
No consultant honestly can, and I won't tell you otherwise. What I can guarantee is a clear-eyed diagnostic, a realistic restructuring plan, and direct, hands-on involvement in implementing it — the same discipline I've used to build and run my own businesses.
How do I get started?
Request a confidential consultation. We'll discuss your situation, confirm the diagnostic fee, and take it from there — there's no obligation beyond the diagnostic itself until you've seen the findings and a proposal.
Let's find out what's actually happening.
A confidential conversation costs you nothing but honesty. If the business is worth saving, it's worth understanding properly first.
