Business Transformation
At GJC we recognise that all businesses are different, and all are in different stages of growth. However, they all need to have exit strategies in place.
We have developed our own pyramid of organisational development which is proven to take entities from startup through to successful exit. We recognise that you need the right expert for where you are to maximise the value you can get from GJC, these associates will be working closely one to one with you to develop the key assets to move your business forward right through to finished business.
Foundations > Target Markets > Operational Efficiency > Team > Optimisation > Finished Business – with all these things in place, you’ll be ready for a successful exit.

“The plan GJC did with us identified we could get what we wanted within 5 years so we set out actions to tie in key staff, and improve our profitability by 50% a year which we have done. With our plan in mind we became more focused and when talking to a key customer we received an offer for the business. Bill helped us negotiate the deal and get it signed. We will achieve our plan not in 5 years but 2!”
