Business Health Check
Undertaking a Business Health Check is important to give you an overall assessment of your business’s current financial and operational situation. It will uncover the areas that are working well and those that are not so strong. It will highlight issues and identify the opportunities for your business so you can make realistic decisions about its future.
A health check is particularly important at times of significant change because it helps clarify the options for continuing, improving, growth, moth–balling or even closing the business.
This support is for business owners and leaders who:
- Have concerns about the current or short-term financial position of their business
- Want to grow their business
- Would benefit from an independent review of the current business situation and a confidential sounding board to discuss potential options
- Need support with reviewing or developing realistic financial projections to understand the options available
- Want to have an action plan of next steps to move the business forward
This business health check will give you:
- The confidence and clarity to decide on your business’ future direction
- Information and analysis so you can make informed decisions
- A practical action plan with clear steps to take
- Access to specialist support and expertise when you need it
- A confidential sounding board to discuss the problems facing your business
- Areas where you can make efficiencies in how you operate
- An understanding of the safest way to close your business if that is what you decide to do
