Professional Business Advisory Services:

Setting Your NZ Business On The Right Path

Running a business is rewarding, but it can also be very difficult. Regardless of what your New Zealand company does or how large your team is, you undoubtedly face various challenges when running your company. This is where business advisory services can help. A business advisor can offer professional guidance, unbiased opinions and expert support to help you reach your unique business goals. 

We at Business Like are proud to help clients such as yourself create innovative business strategies, navigate risks, analyse cash flow and more.


What Are Business Advisory Services?

Business advisory services are professional services designed to help NZ companies improve their performance and achieve their particular business objectives. It can be difficult to set goals, create steps to achieve them and then follow through when you already have so much work to handle. Our advisors can offer you a helping hand to make your operations and business plan more streamlined and realistic. 

Business advisory services can be personalised to better suit your particular goals and obstacles. A few key areas that we can focus on are:

  • Strategic Planning: We can create strategies to reach your short and long-term business goals, creating realistic steps to achievable goals. 
  • Cash Flow Forecasting. Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. We will analyse your operations and discover the best ways to ensure financial stability.
  • Operational Efficiency Improvements. There are always ways we can improve operations. We will work with you to analyse every part of your business, searching for newer and better ways to improve quality and efficiency.

Throughout everything, our business advisors will act as objective partners, offering actionable insights and accountability.

Common Mistakes To Avoid As An NZ Business Owner

It’s easy to make common mistakes as a business owner, regardless of whether you have experience with managing a company or if this is your first time running a business. 

Here are a handful of mistakes to avoid:

  • Not Seeking Professional Business Advice. We could all use help from time to time, and if you want high-quality assistance, then business advisory services are a must. We at Business Like can offer you expert assistance based on your particular circumstances.
  • Only Going To Friends Or Family For Assistance. It may be tempting to reach out to friends or family for business advice, but it’s important to remember that you should seek to collaborate with an expert who has the training and experience needed to provide you with the help you deserve. Getting moral support from friends or family is beneficial, but they may not be able to provide you with the expert help you need.
  • Setting Unrealistic Goals. It’s essential to set goals for yourself and your business so that you have a direction to go in. However, setting goals poorly can lead to issues. For example, setting a goal that’s too ambitious with a deadline that’s too soon can quickly lead to disappointment. Instead, you need to set realistic, achievable goals.

The Major Benefits Of Business Advisory Services In Auckland

What kind of advantages can we at Business Like bring you?

Customised Business Planning. Every company and business owner is unique, so why settle for generic advice? Our business advisors offer personalised services to meet your individualised needs. We can work together to create tailored plans that align with your vision and the realities of the Auckland market.

Setting goals helps us have objectives to strive for. We will create realistic short-term and long-term goals, and then we will form actionable plans that make sense. 

Managing Potential Risks And Uncertainties. All business ventures come with some level of risk and uncertainty. We will analyse your business operations and opportunities together to identify any risks. Once we understand what obstacles we have to deal with, we can go about seeing how we can eliminate these risks. 

Often, it’s impossible to eliminate every potential risk for your business. So, if we cannot get rid of a risk, we will create risk mitigation strategies to further manage these potential pitfalls and improve your chances of success. 

Enhanced Financial Management. Finances are a cornerstone of any business plan, but managing finances can be complex and stressful. We can utilise cash flow forecasting strategies to help you maintain financial health by predicting shortfalls and planning for growth.

Accountability And Unbiased Insights. A major problem with going to friends and family for business help is that they may be unwilling to hold business owners accountable due to their own biases. Conversely, our business advisors at Business Like understand the importance of accountability, honesty and unbiased insights. We will serve as independent partners who hold you accountable and offer impartial advice that isn’t emotionally influenced.
