Consultant Perth: Business Strategy and Performance Help
Finding a consultant in Perth who understands your business challenges takes more than a quick Google search. As a business management consultant in Perth, we work with business owners who need practical help with strategy, performance, and growth. Most consultants fly in from interstate, spend a day looking at spreadsheets, then leave you with a report that sits in a drawer. We're different. Based right here in Perth, we've built and sold our own businesses in WA. We know what it's like to worry about cashflow, deal with staff issues, and try to stay profitable when costs keep rising. Whether you're in Osborne Park, Malaga, or anywhere across Perth's business districts, we work alongside you to make real changes that improve your bottom line.
Timing.
Preparation.
Clarity.
Strategic Planning
A good strategic plan isn't something that sits on a shelf. It's a working document that helps you make decisions every day. We create detailed 2 to 5 year strategic plans with key milestone tracking programs so you always know where your business is heading and what needs to happen next.
Strategic planning starts with a deep dive into your operations and culture. What's actually happening in your business day to day? Where are the bottlenecks slowing you down? Which team members are stretched too thin, and which roles aren't quite working? We look at your operational culture—how your business actually behaves, not how you think it should behave.
For Perth businesses preparing for sale, strategic planning becomes even more important. Buyers want to see a business that runs smoothly, has clear processes, and doesn't depend entirely on the owner. Our strategic planning work helps create that structure. We've helped business owners from Nedlands to Joondalup prepare their companies for successful transitions.
Business Performance Optimisation Program
Our Growth Ready – Sale Ready™ program comes in two formats: 6 month and 12 month plans. Both focus on the same goal—making your business more profitable and getting it ready for whatever comes next, whether that's growth or preparing for sale.
The 6 month program works for business owners under time pressure. Maybe you're looking at a sale opportunity, or you need to turn performance around quickly. We work intensively on the biggest profit levers—fixing pricing, improving productivity, cutting unnecessary costs, and making sure your best products and services get the attention they deserve.
The 12 month program goes deeper. This is genetic engineering of business performance and operational culture. We don't just fix problems—we change how your business operates at a fundamental level. New systems get embedded, team members learn new ways of working, and your business becomes more valuable because it's built to last.
Business owners from Elizabeth Quay offices to Canning Vale warehouses face similar challenges: rising costs, staff shortages, tight cashflow. Our optimisation programs address these real issues with practical solutions. We track progress every month, adjust when needed, and keep pushing toward better results.

Transformative Sales Training
Good salespeople aren't born—they're trained. Our From Insight to Impact™ training modules can be delivered in 2 hour sessions, half day workshops, or full day intensives. The format depends on what your team needs and what works for your schedule.
David Ridgway leads our sales training with over 30 years of experience in Perth markets. The training isn't about pushy sales tactics. It's about building trust, understanding what customers actually need, and creating sales pipelines that bring in consistent revenue. Every participant gets a training manual and workbook they can refer back to.
The training is modular and interactive. Your team learns by doing, not just listening. We cover everything from initial customer contact through to closing deals and maintaining relationships. For Perth businesses competing in tight markets—whether construction services in Malaga, professional services on St Georges Terrace, or retail in Joondalup—better sales skills directly impact the bottom line.

Organisational Behaviour
Your business culture isn't what's written in a mission statement. It's what actually happens every day. How do staff treat customers? How do different departments work together? Who makes decisions, and how quickly do things get done? This is organisational behaviour, and it matters more than most business owners realize.
We call our approach Dynamic Alignment. It's about genetic engineering of your organisation's operating culture. This means looking at every role, every process, and every habit in your business. Then we work on aligning all of it with what your customers need and what your business strategy requires.
Poor organisational behaviour costs money. Customer complaints go unresolved. Good staff leave because they're frustrated. Important tasks fall through the cracks. We've seen this pattern in businesses all over Perth—from Balcatta manufacturers to Claremont professional firms. The good news is that it can be fixed with the right approach and commitment to change.

When Sale Makes Sense
There's a point where preparing for sale makes more sense than pushing for growth. Maybe you're getting older and want to retire. Maybe the market is changing and you can see the window closing. Maybe you're just tired of running the business and want to do something else with your life.
What Buyers Actually Want
None of those reasons are wrong. What's wrong is waiting too long to prepare. A business that's ready to sell looks different from a business that's being run day to day. It has clean financials, documented processes, reliable systems, and doesn't depend entirely on the owner to function.
Timeline Matters
Getting a business sale-ready takes time. You can't decide to sell in January and expect a good price in March. Buyers want to see at least two years of solid financials. They want proof the business can run without you. They want to see growth or at least stability, not a business that's coasting downhill.
Start Preparing Early
If you're thinking about selling within the next three to five years, you need to start preparing now. That doesn't mean you stop running the business—it means you run it in a way that builds value instead of just paying the bills.
