Growing a business: Business Improvement Programme

What is the Business Improvement Programme?

The Business Improvement Programme is cost-effective consultancy support for growing a business, building its value and surviving the downturn.

Following a comprehensive diagnostic questionnaire, the focus is on action plans in 3 areas:

  • Operating improvements
  • Risk reduction
  • Growth avenues

Who is it for?

Owners and managers growing a business with profits of over £500k, in any sector.

How long does it take?

The core curriculum is normally delivered over 6 months. Additional modules can be selected from a menu according to need.

Why do I need this programme to grow my business, and why Shield?

Shield’s Business Improvement Programme is unique because it reflects, in a pre-business sale consulting package, the insights of highly experienced merger and acquisition practitioners into how best to prepare to sell a business at a premium.

  • Might you be too close to your business to see its weaknesses?
  • Might you be too busy to pursue untapped potentials which could excite buyers?
  • Might you get blinkered by your habitual focus on the stand-alone business, unaware of the synergy potential it offers strategic buyers?

How do you charge for this service?

We charge a modest monthly retainer. All in all, our clients tend to find that the value we deliver to them in terms of improved results pays for our services many, many times over. What do our clients say? >>

Next steps?

If your profits are over £500k we would be delighted to have a no obligation chat to explore how our Business Improvement Programme can help you grow your business. We are happy to call you outside of office hours or at weekends if you prefer. Contact us >>
