Who We’ve Worked With
Debt Advisory
If you are applying for a commercial loan from the bank, and they are asking for information you’re not familiar with (cash flow or three-way forecasts), chances are that you are finding it difficult to obtain loan approval.
We work with businesses to prepare the financial information often required by banks. This can help smooth the application process and improves the chance of obtaining a commercial loan.
Feasibility
If your business is deciding whether to proceed with a project (e.g. commercial developments, new business product lines, expansion into new markets etc.), you may be asking whether it is worth the time, effort and money.
To help make informed choices, we assist businesses with understanding the financial implications of these potential decisions.
Cashflow Insights
If your business is profitable but you constantly request to overdraw bank accounts, receive calls about overdue payments or pay excessive interest on overdrafts, you may have cash flow issues.
We help to identify and address potential cash flow gaps, so that businesses can reduce the occurrence of such stressful situations.
Maximising Business Value
If you’ve considered selling your business, you may be looking to maximise the sale price. We provide businesses with performance and efficiency insights to help improve the value of the business.
