A structure can still work and no longer be the right structure.
Founders rarely arrive with a structural diagnosis. They arrive because the business has changed, an important decision is approaching, or something that used to be straightforward now takes too much explaining.
Recognition before recommendation.
The one-off workaround
A workaround that was supposed to happen once has quietly become normal business practice.
The reasonable bank question
The bank asks a reasonable question, but explaining the transaction or relationship takes several people.
The next major contract
Nobody is entirely sure which company should sign, so convenience or the available bank account is beginning to decide.
The opportunity that cannot wait
A significant opportunity appears and the business discovers that old arrangements must be understood before management is comfortable proceeding.
Good advice without one answer
Different advisers each understand their part, but the founder still does not have one clear answer about what the business should actually do.
The old decision still in the room
An entity, account or arrangement created years ago for a sensible reason is still influencing decisions after the business has changed.
Not sure whether the current structure still fits the business?
A discovery call can establish whether a more detailed review would be useful and what the appropriate next step would be.
