CASE STUDIES

"Building several businesses over the years, I thought I'd been there, seen it all, done it all. But with your help, my business is 4x more profitable, makes 3x more revenue, and has lasted 2x longer than any other business I've had before - even in very difficult trading conditions! Really looking forward to reaching new heights creating my next business with the help of Bradley Brown Consulting."

​

CASE STUDY

​

Before working with us, this ambitious serial entrepreneur had struggled to create a business that was resilient enough to last longer than 5 years. The sales revenue ceiling was stuck at £250,000 and net profits were much lower than desired. In spite of accomplishing far more than many young businesses ever achieve, this entrepreneur was determined to reach even greater heights!

​

Operating in the construction industry, our client was experiencing insidious challenges frequently encountered across the sector. As an expert craftsperson and extremely competent salesperson finding work was not a problem. However, due to pervasive industry-related issues, too much time was spent firefighting dealing with every problem as it arose diverting precious time away from revenue-earning activities.

​

Our task became immediately apparent during our discovery consultation where it became evident to us that the task of running and administering the business had become an overwhelming burden. Much the same as it does for many of the businesses and entrepreneurs we've met who are experts in their trade or profession.

So much so in fact, it was restricting growth affecting this entrepreneur’s ability to exceed £250k in trading income. It was stifling the level of resourcefulness that would normally be available in less stressful times to improve profits. It was also curtailing resilience both financially and emotionally preventing the entrepreneur from trading successfully beyond a 5 year period.

​

As proven experts in our field of legitimate ethical business growth and the art of business administration, we know how essential it is to embed good business practices and administrative procedures in order to have a sustainable business. One that can last far beyond the UK average of 2 to 5 years. We also know this is much easier said than done! 

Accordingly, we overhauled our client’s processes and procedures to the point where firefighting was no longer necessary. This created more time to implement strategic plans and significantly reduced stress levels. All in less time than it takes a world record holder to circumnavigate the globe!

​

After working with us as a private consultancy client, annual sales revenues increased to £750,000 on a regular basis – occasionally hovering close to £1 million. Net profits increased to 200% and the business continued trading strongly well beyond the 5-year point. Being better able to weather intense market competition and difficult economic trading conditions, our client has celebrated their 10-year business anniversary and is still successfully operating today.

Leading the Way

"It’s amazing. What you have done is the clearest image of somebody putting themselves in our shoes and giving their most sincere point of view. This is way more important than our original idea. I have not enough words to say how pleased we are."

​

CASE STUDY

​

Before working with us, these passionate co-founders were frustrated and running out of available funds after heavily investing tens of thousands in product research and development. They were struggling to get their patented product to their desired market in the agribusiness sector. Being an early-stage start-up meant it was extremely difficult to access the additional funding they needed.

We assessed the commercial viability of our client's proposition using discovery consultations to understand the challenges halting progress. Following extensive analysis, our findings showed the clients' intended strategy was prohibitively expensive. We were faced with two options ... 

​

stay within our remit and tell our clients to terminate their start-up ...

... or find another solution!

We opted to find a feasible alternative and subsequently unearthed a surprising use for their patented product that would alleviate a devastating biohazard affecting edible crops. If executed as suggested, our strategy would create phenomenal potential to generate tens of millions in less time than it takes most start-ups to make a profit! 

​

After working with us as private consultancy clients, these entrepreneurs were ecstatic to have a clear road map showing them how to take their business forward. 

PROGRESSIVE ENTREPRENEURS

Creating Lasting Impact

“Thanks to you, I’m celebrating having an amazing year in business. Your business brain is awesome. What you are doing is fantastic. Thank you for being kind, helpful and supportive.”

​

"Thank you for giving me the courage to escape corporate life to pursue my dreams and rebuild a life I thought I had lost forever. I started my entrepreneurial journey 5 years ago and haven't looked back since. I feel happier and more fulfilled than I ever thought possible."

​

CASE STUDY

​

Before working with us, these demoralised employees with entrepreneurial skills were struggling to rebuild their careers and return to the senior leadership positions they had held in the corporate sector prior to enduring devastating chronic illnesses.

​

Operating in the financial services sector, these clients needed help finding new ways to feel valued and fulfilled without returning to the stresses of the senior management roles they had previously held in the corporate sector.

Worried that the wrong decision would adversely affect their health and rapidly worsen their prognoses, they selected us to help them assess their options and decide the best way to proceed as entrepreneurs.

​

Using appreciative inquiry techniques, we gently and respectfully explored their skills, attributes, preferred behaviours and aspirations to uncover realistic opportunities that would work for them. 

This approach enabled us to identify businesses with ample potential for profitable growth that suited each client’s individual needs.

​

After working with us, we are delighted to hear that these progressive entrepreneurs are finding it easier to manage their health conditions and as a result are thriving in their chosen entrepreneurial pursuits 5 years on whilst experiencing less stress.

Providing Innovative Solutions - Delivering Creative Synergy

CASE STUDY

​

Before working with us as an early-stage startup, this aspiring entrepreneur was struggling to compete in an extremely crowded market that had very low barriers to entry due to very low start-up costs. Having purchased low-cost marketing materials and basic cleaning products, this cleaner started targeting domestic customers but was frustrated at the slow rate and low level of take-up.

​

During a brief consultation, we offered up an alternative option that would increase income and reduce competition.

Fortuitously, we work with entrepreneurs and businesses from many industries which meant we were able to identify a highly innovative solution that others had not considered or suggested before. We pinpointed a gap in the market with a readily accessible customer base that had ongoing client and income growth potential. This unexploited opportunity was something most of the competition overlooked assuming the service was already being provided elsewhere.

​

After working with us, this business has established itself as a reputable specialist within the commercial cleaning market and continues to flourish 4 years on following our intervention.
