  • The Review is designed for owner-operated Australian SMEs that rely heavily on the owner, key employees or knowledge held by only a few people. It is particularly useful when growth, change, succession planning or an unexpected absence has raised questions about how the business would keep operating.

  • It examines key-person dependencies, essential processes, roles and responsibilities, information flow and operational risks. The focus is on identifying the practical gaps that could disrupt continuity or limit growth.

  • You will receive a clear view of the business’s strengths and vulnerabilities, a prioritised assessment of the areas needing attention and a practical roadmap for action.

  • Yes. Your business information and discussions are treated confidentially. The scope, access requirements and use of information are agreed with you before work begins.
