Consulting Services.

More than just advisors, we provide a ‘hands-on’ approach in implementing change and transforming your business.

Every business is unique in character and its success and growth is based on its successful application of strategy and its adaptability to evolving market conditions. Achieving business success and growth is not a game of chance as some might think. The process of identifying the business’ core strengths and vulnerabilities is at times akin to a person going through therapy, only to discover that the “patient” has more than one personality.

Some business owners are stuck in the middle of an ocean of business challenges thinking, “I just need more sales” throwing more resources to that end; hire more, better sales people, place more advertising or “I need to upgrade my equipment” reallocating their cashflow to that end and taking on more commitments.

But directing resources without a proper assessment of their business, a sound business strategy or plan is unlikely to achieve growth. Finding the right direction for the business and formulating a plan however can be a challenge on its own.

We have been instrumental in assisting our business clients realize their potential, by providing unbiased advice and the necessary tools to primarily assess their business for what it really is, develop a sound business plan, strategy into the future and acting as a true sounding board for ideas. We guide our clients through the process of formulating their own plan and then follow through with what we call “strategic navigation”.

In Ezylease you have a true business partner. More than just advisors, we are different because we provide a ‘hands on’ approach in implementing change and transforming a business. We are actively involved with business owners in facing the challenges of change.

Case Studies

We guide our clients through the business development process from start to finish as described in the case studies below.

Business Type :  Startup
Industry Sector : Agricultural Services

Our client, a startup wishing to offer its services in the Poultry Industry  approached us to advise them in setting up their business structures properly from the beginning, assist them in putting a business plan together and test their offering.

Key Actions:

We worked with the client to determine their requirements and their peculiar circumstances. We advised on their business structures that would allow them to operate in growth and strength. Funding was also required and we assisted by organizing the right facilities the business required to fund its growth and what the structure of these facilities should look like for the clients as well as the relationship with the “right” bank. We were “on call” for the client’s director to mentor both on everyday operations but in customer relations, business strategy and a number of  other points they required advice with.

Key Outcomes:

The client is today the largest service provider of its kind in Victoria. We are a permanent member of the strategy team and we meet with the clients regularly to brainstorm and develop the business.

Business Type :  Long Established
Industry Sector : Metal Fabrication

Our client is a long established metal fabrication firm providing its services to a number of different industries but lately focusing in construction. As such, keeping up with regulatory requirements and also the operational strains became a major problem. Cashflow started faltering, payment terms from clients insisting that their “phonebook” sized engagement contracts was the only way to go and the client was ready to shut shop.

Key Actions:

We worked with the client to determine the key issues  holding up operations from being effective. We re-wrote their business operations manual and gave the client ideas on how to use the same regulatory requirements their clients had for their benefit as well. Restructured their accounting processes and called in their funders proactively, to discuss their situation and restructure their finances with their cooperation.

Key Outcomes:

We successfully restructured the business processes and the client almost overnight achieved the prescribed operational efficiences.  The financiers came to the rescue, understanding that the position the client was in was truly reversible with a little bit of help. We did not use any additional security to secure funding for the client, instead we did the “talking” with the funders using the right language where the client wasn’t able to make progress. The client within a year managed to double their turnover, increased their profit margin in double digits and got all their financial commitments under control.

Business Type :  Long Established
Industry Sector : Importer/Manufacturing

Our client had been trading for some time before we were called in to consult on turning the business around.  The owners had lost focus and were feeling swamped in their effort to provide a quality service to their customers, sell products and earn more . What was worse they had no plan for their future, were working for the next day and were only focusing on their tasks in the business and not on what had to be done on the business.

Key Actions:

We worked with the client to determine the facilities it required to fund its growth and what the structure of these facilities should look like. We re-designed their operational processes for them and helped develop a viable and insightful business plan. We handled their present time roablocks and gave them goals to be achieved in stages.

Key Outcomes:

The client handled all their present time obstacles and is well and truly back to a profitable and efficient path. Expansion of operations (and turnover) was inevitable.
