Turnaround Plan

The Turnaround Plan is an ordered plan for a business in trouble: what is wrong, what to fix first, and the sequence to stabilise it.

Cash is tight. Sales are down or costs are up, often both, and every day brings a new fire. From the inside, everything looks equally urgent, so nothing gets fixed properly and the runway gets shorter.

Two things owners do instead, and both make it worse. Cut costs everywhere at once — which strips out the parts still earning along with the waste. Or wait quietly to see if trade recovers — which spends the time you needed to act. We do neither. A GEB expert works through the business, names the real cause rather than the loudest symptom, and gives you a first-30-days list and a 90-day sequence: what to fix, in what order, and what to leave alone for now.

Price: $2,500 — fixed price. Turnaround: 7–10 working days.

The verdict you get: Closes with a clear GEB verdict — stabilise and trade on, restructure the operation, or exit the line — plus a confidence level and the one action to take this week. Not a data dump; a decision.

What you receive

• A written diagnosis: what is actually wrong, separated from the symptoms
• A first-30-days list — the actions to take immediately, in order
• A 90-day sequence with checkpoints at day 30, 60 and 90
• The costs to protect, and the ones safe to cut
• The signals that tell you it is working, and the point at which to change course

Best for

• Owners losing money and unsure which problem to attack first
• Businesses hit by a lost customer, a failed supplier or a sharp cost rise
• Anyone who needs an outside read before making cuts they cannot undo

Not for: This is commercial decision support. It is not insolvency, legal, tax or regulated financial advice, and it is not a promise that the business recovers. A business in genuine financial distress should take qualified professional advice as well — an insolvency practitioner, an accountant or a lawyer in your own jurisdiction — alongside this plan.

Natural next step: Scale-Up Plan.

Recent figures, your cost base, your cash position and a plain description of what changed. You set this out in the checkout questionnaire.

How fast is it?

Seven to ten working days.
