Common questions on survival

Most owners call us when the pressure is high and the room is getting small. Here is how we usually handle the first few days and hold the line for your business.

01
How fast can you actually stop the bleed?

We start a 72-hour triage the moment we sign. Within three business days, we identify every non-essential payment and pause it. This secures your immediate oxygen while we work. The full forensic audit follows and takes exactly 11 business days. We move fast because market teeth don't wait for paperwork.

02
Will you tell me to sack my staff?

Honestly, that is usually the last thing we want to do. Most Leeds businesses we audit have about 14.3% in waste hidden in vendor contracts and old service fees. We focus on cutting that fat first so you can keep the people who actually run the engine. We only look at headcount if the core structure is failing.

03
Do you work with companies outside of West Yorkshire?

We keep our focus on Leeds and the surrounding North. We need to be close enough to sit in your office and look at the ledger if things get messy. Last year, we handled 47 successful turnarounds within a 30-mile radius of our High Street office. We don't do remote-only crisis work.

04
What does a typical engagement cost?

We use fixed-fee retainers or project-based sprints. You will know the price before we start. (By the way, we don't do hidden extras or 'success fees' that eat into your recovered cash). Most clients find the savings we find cover our fee by the end of the first 3 months.

05
How do you handle my sensitive financial data?

We use encrypted portals for every document. We sign a strict NDA before you show us a single invoice. We have defended 4 local firms from hostile takeovers recently; our reputation depends on your data staying behind the gates. We treat your ledger like it's our own.
