REGIONAL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
SHEPPARTON - REGIONAL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
Thinking of selling? The best time to get ready is before you have to.
We don't value your business or run the sale. We get it into the shape a buyer pays a premium for, and set it up so a new owner can run it without you. Confidential, practical, and built for regional businesses.
Private. No pressure. Confidential.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You've had the thought. You just don't know where to start.
The questions we hear most from owners weighing things up.
01
"What's it even worth?"
02
"Where would I even start?"
03
"What documentation would be expected?"
04
"What happens to the people who built it with me?"
05
"How long would I be stuck training the new owner?"
06
"How much time would this take?"
WHAT WE DO, AND WHAT WE DON'T
We don't tell you what it's worth, we help you lift it.
Not our lane.
We don't value your business, run the sale, or handle the tax and the legals. Your accountant, your broker and your advisor do that, and we're happy to work alongside them.
Our lane.
We identify and/or build the operational side a buyer pays a premium for, and their due diligence pulls apart. The systems, the documented know-how, the people side and the automations they want to see.
WHERE THE VALUE IS
What a buyer finds attractive.
Nine things that can lift the price and make the business easy to take on. The Sale-Ready Review scores you against all of them.
01
Runs without you, hands over clean
Keeps going when you step out of the office, and a new owner can take the reins in weeks, not years.
02
No single point of failure
We find where it all hinges on one person, then cross-train, document and automate it out.
03
Real systems, not fragile spreadsheets
Proper systems for how the work runs, not a spreadsheet someone remembers to update now and then.
04
The way the work is done, written down
Clear procedures (SOPs) so the job's done the same way by anyone, and it's easy to train and hand on.
05
A sales pipeline you can see
A CRM and pipeline that captures every enquiry and follows up fast, so nothing slips through the cracks.
06
Ordering and throughput, automated
Ordering systems and the automations that move more work through with less handling.
07
The business documented
Structure diagrams, workflow maps and supplier lists. The picture a buyer, or a new manager, can actually pick up.
08
People sorted, front to back
Employment agreements, policies and guidelines, performance reviews, training records and HR that can even run self-service.
09
Marketing that runs as a program
A strategy and campaigns that feed the pipeline on purpose, not when you get a spare minute.
Sell from strength, not in a hurry.
The owners who do best start a year or two out, while there's still time to fix things properly instead of discounting at the table. And if you don't end up selling, you've simply got a better, easier business in the meantime.
ABOUT ALANA LEE
I'll tell you the truth before a buyer does.
I'm Alana Lee. I grew up around family businesses and spent more than twenty years working inside them. I know exactly what it's like when everything runs through one person and there's never enough time to step back and fix it.
Continuous improvement has always been in my blood, and I've backed that instinct with formal training in business, project management and LEAN 6 sigma, so what I bring is both lived and learned.
I work with owners and managers who want an efficient, no-fuss way to get their business ready to sell well. We focus on the operational side a buyer pays a premium for, the things that let it run without you and hand over cleanly, and we get them sorted in the right order.
