The Mill Consultancy - Exeter Chamber of Commerce and Industry - supporting your business

We help growing companies develop their strategy, strengthen their organisation and raise finance. We bring an objective and professional viewpoint, which is grounded in real world operating knowledge. Each of our advisers has worked in the commercial sector, in top roles, and they all have broad experience in raising finance. This is why we are different - we have worked at the coal face.  Our team enables your company to define and achieve its goals. Our advice concentrates on profitability, cash flow, expansion and stability. We provide a cost-effective and value adding service, and you will see clear results.  Business Development – It’s all about creating the right environment to encourage expansion, and the right culture to recruit and retain excellent staff.  We concentrate on the real drivers of value in the business. We ensure that the business structure, from the ground up, is focused on delivering well-planned growth. Raising finance – faster, better and lower cost. Are you ready for getting the finance you need in order to grow?  We help companies deal with the main challenges of securing funding. There is actually plenty of finance available out there, but many propositions fail due to lack of credibility or realism, poor explanations, deficiencies in the financial model, wrong emphasis and misunderstanding of expectations. These stumbling blocks can be avoided. Our advisers will take the company through the whole investment readiness process and significantly improve the prospects of success.  Selling your company – we help you develop your exit strategy, to fulfil the opportunities and avoid the pitfalls. Such advice is valuable for businesses at any stage of maturity, but especially those with succession issues, which want to build value prior to an exit or buy out.  Due diligence - we carry out commercial and financial due diligence. The Mill Consultancy also provides non-executive directors (NEDs) for growth companies. Our NEDs offer general strategic advice and support, and the added advantage of financial expertise. A NED is there to help, guide and motivate in any way that leads to the successful long term development of the company.  Our training division offers seminars on Investment Readiness; Budgeting; Finance for the non-financial; Sources of Finance and Business Planning; Business Growth; and Achieving, Maintaining and Increasing Profitability. Call or email us and we can talk. Our Consultancy keeps its overheads lean, so our fee levels are highly competitive and represent serious value for money. We are very happy to have an initial meeting with no cost or commitment involved.
