About Delocate
We are specialists in Business Operations Management for micro-businesses and the self-employed. We provide consultancy and ‘Done For You’ services that improve the businesses, and therefore the lives, of our clients.
Why?
“…because helping others is rewarding.”
People don’t start their own business because they want to work crazy hours for little reward, thinking their relationship with their family could suffer, or because they want to spend half of their time doing what they’re good at, and the other half struggling through tasks they don’t enjoy (and are the first to admit they’re not much good at)! They certainly don’t run their own business to be tired, frustrated, and struggling to keep on top of everything! No; folks set out on their own because they have something they’re good at, enjoy doing (most of the time, hopefully!) and that they want to do for others to generate an income. We want to help our clients to ‘do their thing’ and make themselves and their family significantly better off, in all respects, for doing so.
How can we help?
Analysis
We take a close look at just about every aspect of our clients’ business and provide a report on what’s working well and what’s not. Where it’s not, we detail what should be changed to improve that metric. We call this the Business Fundamentals Audit.
Development of a Strategy
We work with our clients to establish how their business can operate as efficiently and profitably as possible for them. We carefully consider their unique preferences for exactly what their business will deliver for them in the coming months and years and create a bespoke roadmap of how those goals can be achieved. We term this Business Development.
Implementation & Maintenance
We work within our clients’ businesses to help them embed the agreed strategies and make the changes necessary that we have identified either through carrying out one or both of the above pieces of work, or just ‘as we go’.
We are effective at what we do because we take on as much as our clients wish of the ‘day-to-day’ aspects of running our clients’ business that are not the ‘key deliverable’ and so we see first-hand exactly how everything works and ‘hangs together’ in the business. This is important— there are plenty of consultants that will offer advice at ‘arms length’ but they rarely truly understand the nuances of why things are as they are in your business and so their advice never quite ‘fits right’. With our approach, every detail becomes understood, all aspects are considered, and things get done, and done right! This is our Operations Management service.
