Our Services

With over 20 years worth of management experience, our qualified consultants who having worked with successful businesses across numerous industry sectors, can assist with:
Strategic Planning

Our Strategic Planning process is designed to re-engineer your existing business over an 8-10 week period with the outcome being a Strategic Business Plan for the next 5 years, which will set your business strategy and help you to grow and achieve the objectives you set for your business.

Strategic Management
Whilst your Business Plan sets the strategic direction of your business it still needs to be implemented to achieving sustainable results and add real value. Once we have set a clear business strategy, we will work with you within your business to achieve your objectives and grow your profits by executing on the business plan.
Viability Studies
As a part of the commercialisation process, Novellus undertakes rigorous Viability Studies on products and services before they are commercialised. This process helps to uncover any potential fatal flaws before additional money and resources are spent on further development these products or services.
Procurement

Having worked on the both the bid and tender evaluation side of the procurement process, across many large regional and national projects, we can assist in setting your procurement strategy, bid writing or tender evaluation for your organisation. 

Business & Marketing Plans
Great Business and Marketing plans are essential for all businesses and they are a vital aid to help you manage your business more effectively. A detailed business plan will help test the feasibility of the business, can detail alternative future scenarios and set specific objectives and goals along with the resources required to achieve those goals. A business plan is also necessary if you want to attract investors or secure funding for the business, as they want to know what your business strategy is.
Raising Capital
Raising capital can be tricky as financial institutions and investors want assurance that the business is viable and able to deliver a good return. They will require a thorough analysis of the business, including your trading history and a detailed Business Plan. There are a number of options available to you when you are looking to raise money, let Novellus assist  you with the process and we will help you to secure the right funding for your business.
Due Diligence
Thinking of buying a business? It pays to spend a little upfront to ensure that a thorough due diligence is undertaken. Novellus will run through the due diligence process in order to evaluate all aspects of the business you are thinking of acquiring and give you a realistic assessment of the business and what you are paying for.
Independent Reviews

Novellus is able to conduct independent business reviews, compile reports and develop recommendations for organisations. Whether you need to verify external costs and information  or conduct an internal business improvement review.

David’s thorough analysis of The Secret Garden’s financial performance, together with his clear and practical recommendations, will significantly improve our results over the next five years.  In a matter of weeks, David developed in-depth understanding of our business and its context.  He listened and understood what was important to us and he also explained and persuaded when he believed change was important. I’m extremely grateful for his input and highly recommend his services to any business needing to develop future strategic direction.
