1. Simply having a fresh set of eyes on your business can reveal opportunities and risks you had
missed. Most businesses have opportunities for improvement hiding in plain sight.
2. We come equipped with experience, insights, and a toolkit that’s yours to use.
3. Accountability. You can let yourself off the hook all day long. An advisor will hold your feet
to the fire.
4. As a client once said to us: “Mate, you’ve helped just by being here to listen.”
How should I prepare to work with an outside business advisor?
It’s the Scouts’ motto: Be Prepared. Have your financials up to date (P&L, balance sheet, cashflow if
possible). Be ready with what you want to discuss: questions, dilemmas, dreams, doubts and all.
What’s special about family business? Family businesses can think in generations, making decisions for the long haul. But passing the
baton to the next generation is where it gets tricky.
Often, family businesses value legacy, fairness, and community just as much as profit. And that’s
where the magic (and the challenge) lies.
Why should I work with an accredited family business advisor?
Family business challenges often can't be solved from within. Deep-rooted histories, unspoken
assumptions, and habitual communication can cloud judgment. An accredited advisor works with
both the family dynamics and business needs to craft the best plan.
The accreditation recognised in Australia and New Zealand requires passing a course delivered by
one of Australia’s leading universities. It’s a specialised field, and the big danger for non-accredited
advisors is not knowing what you don’t know.
Mentoring – why?
Mentoring can be the difference between a promising business owner and a successful one. Having
someone who’s walked your path, understands your journey, and knows when to challenge,
question, and celebrate you—that's priceless.
The value of group program – Business Accelerate
There’s power in a group of like-minded business people sharing a safe space for open, non-
competitive discussion. It sparks ideas, motivates you, and inspires action. It feels like magic when
you’re in that zone, and the results are awesome.
Will my business idea make money?
Honestly, I don’t know. It’s a long walk from a good idea to a good business, and I don’t know how
ready you are for that journey. But once you start seeing opportunities, you won’t stop. It’s less
about the idea itself and more about what you do with it.
