Focus on your business

Being an entrepreneur is often a lonely place to be.

Entrepreneurs often need someone to talk to; someone who is on the same level. Someone to provide a real sense of focus.

Julian Sheppard provides a service where you can talk openly about your business and benefit from Julian’s extensive experience and networks gained in both commerce and private practice.

He offers a unique blend of financial and business advice to entrepreneurial and family organisations designed specifically to grow businesses profitably. He combines a pro-active, entrepreneurial approach to the development of the businesses tempered with a rigorous financial background to ensure that growth is both properly managed and profitable.

Business strategy

For many of his clients he acts as the commercial conscience of the business. Often, this means assuming the role of surrogate commercial director, becoming intimately involved in the ongoing business on a regular basis, typically involving monthly or quarterly meetings.

Much of the consultancy work involves formulating business strategy. Julian will help clients make decisions not only on investment / disinvestment decisions, but also advise on people management, whether this is creating schemes designed to motivate and incentivise staff, or people development programmes and confidence building.
