Every large business
starts out as a
small business
We’ll be right by your side
Being a small or micro business often means someone has to be all things to all people.
But imagine you had an experienced person or team at your side; someone who has already been on that journey; made the mistakes that you want to avoid; enjoyed the highs and worked through the lows; someone who will help you work your way through all the things that get in the way of you doing the things that can bring you success.
Whatever the size of business, we help them to see what is possible by looking at the whole picture.
what our clients say
"Always listening and basing their recommendations on what they saw and heard. No forcing of any issues that wouldn’t sit well within our company.
Overall, a very professional and articulate manner which sat well with our way of working."

We will help you make sense of things and help you reach decisions about your business. We are a Mentor, Coach, Advisor; a friendly and objective voice. Imagine also that Gerron provided a wider support structure that you could tap into. That’s exactly what Gerron’s Small Business Unit does.
We have packages that are aimed at small businesses rather than larger corporates; so that you get the back-up you need to grow.
Fulfilling not Formfilling.
Take Control
Understand your business objectives; what you’re good at and what you need to work on; what you have and what’s missing.
Take Control is a two or three session business review that will get you focused on the right things. Work with one of our specialists to lay solid foundations that you can build your business on.
This isn’t just business models and theory; learn from someone who has been on the journey.
Tailored to you and your business, we’ll focus on the following:
One on one meeting to learn what you want to achieve
Appraisal of where the opportunities are
A realistic Action Plan, setting out clear steps to put you on the right path
Telephone support with your own business support specialist
“TAKE CONTROL” is priced to be affordable for smaller businesses that want to grow.
Prepare for Growth
Get ready to scale your business with the support of your own business advisor. You’ve taken control and you understand what you need to do to grow. Your own dedicated advisor will help you put the plan to work and help keep you track.
A plan and habits are the key to success, but we know that day to day distractions can divert your attention. Your support specialist will help you to stay on track, that’s why it’s important to get your Action Plan right from the outset.
We’ll help you to:
Look in more detail at how you do things
Build your business plan and budgets so that you know exactly where you are going
Hold a monthly one hour, in person meeting to review how things are progressing
Offer pro-active advice to get things on track.
“PREPARE FOR GROWTH” is a monthly plan and as with “TAKE CONTROL” it is priced to suit small businesses and sole traders.
Build
You can’t scale a business until you are ready. By that we mean you have the plan, processes, targets and confidence to go for growth.
You’ve started to do things and it’s time to step things up to another level.
Whether its to do more of what you are already doing or you want to develop new products, services or new markets we’ll help you “BUILD”.
We’ll help you to:
Stay on track
Hold a monthly, in person meeting to keep things on track for growth
Introduce incremental tools to help you to build on the foundations.
It’s a monthly plan, just like “TAKE CONTROL” and “PREPARE FOR GROWTH” so you can budget for it.
Maintain
Similar to “BUILD” but this is your maintenance programme to make sure things stay on track.
Staying on track is often tricky in business so we offer “MAINTAIN”. It keeps you focused on doing the things that help your business stay on track. Your business support specialist will help you protect what you have built and at the same time help you to scan for new opportunities.
We add:
“One Up Monitoring” a guide to the KPI’s that will keep things on track
Monthly in person meeting to look at how things are going
Look for continuous improvements or opportunities
A chance to “dump your bucket”. That means off load and discuss anything that is causing frustration
What could you do?
What should you do?
What will you do?
Small Business Growth Events
Gerron’s Small Business Growth Specialists host these events, which are held throughout the year and will challenge you to take a fresh look at how you approach the key aspects of running, managing and growing your business.
The ‘what could you do, what should you do and what will you do’ framework is designed to inspire delegates to question old habits, think bigger, engage in more strategic thinking and take positive steps to begin their growth journey.
This full day session will encourage business owners, directors and managers to dig deeper into the core issues affecting their business.
We will look at what makes you tick as an individual, where the opportunities for your business lie and what the barriers to growth are. We will ask you you to question if you are actually ready for growth.
Together we will develop a plan for every area of your business and more importantly set clear actions to drive growth using tried and tested tools and techniques and identify what support you require to help you on your growth journey.
As the day progresses you will be given your own “Success Template Workbook” and encouraged to fill it in as we go.
The day will be followed up with an individual one-on-one session to dig deeper into your “Success Template”, setting a clearer path for growth and if you want it, we can provide ongoing support to help you through your journey.
