Round Up Spring 2019

Targete Introducing ...

Sometimes you need to take a step back from the day to day running of your business, to re-acquaint yourself with your business and personal goals. Our targeted support services are designed with you in mind, to help you focus resources on the areas that have a positive impact on your business and its direction, where it’s essential to get things right. When you have shed blood, sweat and tears to build a business you’re passionate about, I know it’s frustrating when compliance and risk consultants fail to understand what the drivers are for you as a business owner. Their failing to work with you consultatively, and build a close relationship, can be frustrating and waste time and money. Good risk management culture, and clear working practices, support good client outcomes. Good client outcomes are good for business. Over engineering processes can work against your business. It’s about getting the right balance between risk management and meeting your client’s requirements consistently and profitably. Our new range of targeted support services are designed to ensure you get a return on the time and money you invest with us. If you’re aware of the areas that need improving within your business, you’re in a positive place. It means you’re in control, and can do something about it. If you’re not fully aware, problems could be building and undermine your business. An independent look at your business can help you identify areas needing a fine tune or in some cases, a radical overhaul. Many threesixty clients already receive a range of services, including business risk assessments
