SMEs
01
Turnaround CEO for SMEs.
For owner-led companies between 5M and 100M EUR that have stopped working. The fix is not another consultant. The fix is an operator who takes the seat for two or three quarters and gives the owner back a business that runs.
What SMEs get wrong
Gap 01
Loyalty over performance
Long-tenured team members protected past their usefulness. The new plan needs operators, not history.
Gap 02
Cost base for last year
Headcount, office, contracts sized for the peak. Today's revenue cannot carry it.
Gap 03
Too many products
Saying yes to every client built complexity, not margin. Refocus is the cheapest growth lever.
Gap 04
Owner still inside every decision
Bottleneck at the top. The owner needs to step out of the operations to see the business.
What changes
