If you are a business owner you are most probably working ‘in’ your business rather than ‘on’ your business.
It is a common theme we often find when working with business owners. That’s where Business Doctors can help!
Because we are not too close to your business, we are able to look at ways of making your business more streamlined, improve your company performance and ensure you have the right staff in the right roles. We can also help you to evaluate the value of your business so you can decide whether to sell or scale up for growth.
According to gov.wales, there are an estimated 267,000 active businesses in Wales. The majority of these are SMEs, which account for over 99% of total enterprises. Of these, micro-businesses (0-9 employees) accounted for 95%.
We have been helping businesses in Wales for some time so whether you’re in the manufacturing sector, financial, business services, or tourism, we can help you.

More"Careers Wales Mid Glamorgan & Powys Ltd benefited significantly from Graham's extensive knowledge of business and his previous experience as a Board member during his four years as our Chairman. His ability to focus our work on the needs of stakeholders and the business community, together with his enthusiastic and supportive style helped the organisation to succeed. He led the Board during a complex and sometimes challenging merger process with energy and commitment. I was also personally grateful for Graham's support when talking through organisational issues." Summer 2012
"Graham has been an instrumental and highly professional Business Consultant when providing advice and guidance to my various business ventures as they grew. He can also roll his sleeves up and support when the going gets tough. He had a practical approach to engaging my Senior Team which combined with his ability to cover all aspects of a modern business and his amazing 'out of the box' thinking!" Autumn 2020
"Graham has been working with our team since 2016 as we seek to enhance the visibility of the facilities we have for Business Owners across South Wales. The combination of seminars, workshops and events built around progressive topics have attracted many visitors from the business community. The 100 plus tenants we have on site have also found the information, advice and guidance hugely beneficial as they overcome the challenges associated with running a modern business. Graham has been able to tap into an extensive network of contacts which makes him quite unique." January 2021
"We couldn't hold Matt and Business Doctors in higher regard. We would confidently and willingly recommend their services to any business owner"
"On behalf of Cardiff City Council, I would like to thank you for the support you have given local businesses during your time with the Chamber of Commerce. Your insight and support has always been warmly welcomed and we wish you every success going forward." Summer 2015
"Thank you for hosting the dinner during my visit to Wales and for the very eloquent introduction that you gave me. I found our discussion very helpful in painting a picture of how SME owners see current business conditions. With all best wishes." Winter 2012
"Your work on the project was fantastic, as we expected, and specific advice and guidance well received by so many participants. The training workshops you developed and ran clearly helped the many businesses that attended." February 2021
"Graham's sector knowledge has proved invaluable in helping build the Colleges medium term business development strategy for the Financial and Professional Services Sector. He is always full of ideas draw from his extensive knowledge and experience and is able to apply innovation and creativity to any challenge that arises. Being incredibly approachable Graham quickly gained the respect of my staff who have all found it a pleasure to work with him. If your business needs a review, Graham would certainly be the top of our list of recommendations and his track record proves that this view is well founded." Spring 2018
"As Chair of the Wales Fraud Forum, I wanted to thank you and your colleagues from the GDPR Alliance for the very informative and engaging masterclass you presented on readiness for the General Data Protection Regulation. I have seen you present on this subject before, and you avoid the temptation to scare the audience with too much emphasis on regulation and the risk of financial penalties, instead concentrating on the benefits and opportunities of compliance. It was particularly evident that, not only did you have a good grasp of the theoretical aspects, but you were able to cover in detail many of the practical implications for organisations. Delegates went away with a sense of the overall scale of the task ahead, without feeling overwhelmed, and having a clear view of some of the concrete steps they need to take now in order to prepare their workplaces for the new regulations." Summer 2018
"Graham has been a tower of strength to both Jarrod and myself by providing guidance, advice and support in a structured practical way. We now have the confidence and self belief to move to a position where we can work on our business rather than constantly in it and that has allowed us to build a team that will help us achieve the ambitions and aspirations we have for our family business." October 2020
"During the last seven months myself and Samantha have had the pleasure of working directly with Matt. During this time he has invested a lot of his knowledge and skill with us and helped us fine tune our existing business, ADT Home Services Ltd. He has improved our management skills, and supported us through uncertain times, which in turn has made us better business owners. Matt has also given us the confidence to go and try something different and supported us in every way possible to start a new venture, tenty Ltd. A new business that is about to launch! Matt has been an invaluable asset in helping us to aim for further successes in achieving our vision."
"As a fast pace financial services company we understand that from time to time, it is important to stop and reflect. We engaged Matt Preece from the Business Doctors who came and undertook a no obligation diagnostics on our business to see what was going well and what was not going so well. What struck us most with Matt was how approachable he was and how sincere he was, he was not interested in papering a crack with a ban aid, he really wanted to get on the pitch and coach. Matt has helped us from things such as recruitment to staff engagement to one-to-one staff coaching on standards and behaviours. Matt has a number of tools in his bag to do the job and is fantastic when it comes to analysing what tool is the right tool for each job. Matt is very forward thinking with his questions to really understand how he can help the business and add true value. Whilst I was always sceptical about business coaches, Matt put those concerns to bed with his genuine and customer centric approach, whilst putting our business at the heart of everything he does."
"As a business we were looking for new ways of working to help us scale, and through a series of discussions and meetings with senior staff Matt proved himself invaluable in helping us define and implement those new procedures. Matt's communication skills with staff at all levels, insight into motivations and bottlenecks and methodical approach to change helped us work through our new procedures as a team and get where we needed to be."
