Irrespective of how strong the demand for products or services provided by a company may be, its success and growth is reliant on sufficient finances backed by a suitably robust company structure.

Just as the shape of output changes to suit market trends, company finances and structure should also be subject to regular review to take into account conditions and outlook as well as regulatory and other macro concerns. It is often the case that SME’s in particular benefit from an outside view, bringing fresh ideas and highlighting concerns not always apparent to those very close to matters.

Kingpin has a great breadth of experience gathered from years of considering businesses from varied sectors and we would be so bold as to say it’s an unusual day for us to be presented with a business financial or structural problem we have not seen and solved before.

Of course nobody knows a business better than those that run it, but keeping up to date with the latest legislation and best practice in all areas can be neglected when other areas of operation have become demanding.

With such a hugely varied background and breadth of experience, Kingpin have at some time analysed pretty much every error a business can make. We’ve seen market problems, governance and management failures and the effects of poor funding time and time again, and understand what a business needs to survive and thrive.

Carrying out a regular health and outlook review is rewarding for all concerned and can certainly deliver benefits, especially when a company is considering expansion through organic growth or perhaps an acquisition. However, it is often the case that help is sought in times of inclemency, and we welcome the challenge of being called in when times are tough. When it feels like the walls are falling in it’s very hard for individuals and management teams to remain objective and form cohesive strategies; recognising the need for outside assistance is often the first step to recovery.

Making business better… that’s what we do.
