Work Background

Oxygen8 Consulting LtdBusiness Success Partner

Aug. 2021Timaru, Canterbury, New ZealandI help small businesses grow by being the "unreasonable friend" who tells it like it is. I help do the hard work like creating a business plan & documenting procedures. The result? A huge increase in the value of the business & a happier business owner. Oxygen8 is your personal business advisor to take you and your business wherever you want it to go. Most business owners over estimate what they can do in the short term and under estimate what they can do in the long term – Oxygen8’s role is to challenge, but also support you to achieve your long-term business vision. We take the time to work with you to see where your business is now and what business success would look like for you in the future. Your Oxygen8 business consultant will work with you to create a business strategy and then together implement your business plan to deliver a path for growth.
