I help the owner or owners of any building trade business make more money with less stress

" I help the owner(s) make more money with less stress"

Home

I work with companies and sole traders in the building and maintenance area. Typical clients are painting and decorating companies, building firms, joinery shops, and other businesses of this type. I can also help plumbers, electricians, flooring contractors, and so on.

In summary, I help the owner(s) make more money with less stress.

First off - a few questions: do you answer "yes" to any of the following?

Is the business going generally OK, but there are one or two problem areas?
Are you short of work?
Are customers becoming unreasonable?
Do good workers keep leaving?
Is your estimation method unreliable?
Do you lose track of extras
Do workers or subcontractors often let you down?
Is your business not making enough money for the effort you are putting in?
Does the book keeping or book keeper drive you crazy?
Do you want the Inland Revenue to go xxxxx themselves?
Is the stress getting worse?
Would you like to "get rid of" the financial side and just concentrate on getting the real work done?
Is your business apparently doing well, but you never actually get any money out?
Do people working for you make more than you do?
Is your business struggling?
Are people chasing you for money all the time?
Have you had County Court judgments against you or your business?
Have you already gone bankrupt and you are worried the same thing - or insolvency - is going to happen again?

Frankly, any business owner is going to answer "yes" to at least some of those questions at some time.

I have made it my business to understand what are the important elements of making a business work and as a result I can help resolve the sort of difficulties referred to above.

Running any business (not just in the building field) is a process of striving for improvement.

My aim is to help to business owners in the construction/maintenance industry to run their businesses better - more profitably, more stably and with less stress.

How is it done? Well, that depends on the individual situation...

Here are some examples and what sort of things would be done in each case.

Example A: A Plumber, working as a sole tradesman. He is doing quite well but wants to make more money
Example B: A Small Building Firm that is busy but making no money
Example C: A Decorating Firm, owner was bankrupt some years ago and debts are rising again
Example D: A Joinery Shop which is doing well, but they need a book keeping system

Contact me to discuss your situation. If I can help then we can estimate the cost in advance of any commitment on your part. If I cannot help, I will tell you.
