Impello Group

Executive Consultants for SMEs Unlike major corporates Directors of SMEs don’t have the support of formal boards and highly paid Executive teams. Our hands-on Executive Consultants provide ongoing advice and support to business Directors and a safe place to discuss issues of major significance. With a shared commitment to the development of the business and your own personal development, this implies a level of trust and respect beyond ordinary business relationships. The Impello Difference Our Executive Consultants impress with their ability to be hands-on, and this is the most common feedback we hear from our clients. How We Add Value Our starting point is to help Directors gain clarity around their personal and business goals to ensure that the growth objectives of all stakeholders are shared and aligned. We charge a fixed monthly retainer which can be terminated at any time with one month’s notice, i.e. there are no locked-in contracts involved. When Do You Need Us? Our services are designed to address the combined challenges of rapid growth and risk management, including when: - Facing major decisions or changes in direction, including entering new markets, developing new products or geographic expansion. - Wanting to build strategic partnerships. - Identifying potential acquisition targets. - Establishing more formal structures involving professional managers. - Managing the development stages of the business including recruitment and staff development. - Dealing with specific technical and functional issues. - Introducing the right systems to support growth objectives. - Needing to raise funds. - Dealing with succession issues. - Facing challenges with other shareholders. - Preparing to maximize their exit value. Initial Steps After an initial introductory meeting with you, we spend a half-day working on a real problem with you (at no charge). This gives both parties a chance to determine if they are happy to move forward together.
