How it works 
Why partner with a business adviser?
If you struggle with aspects of planning your business, leading your team, identifying growth opportunities or focusing on an exit plan, talk to Henchards.
We bring ideas, support, structure, questions, personal guidance, experience and energy needed to help you drive your business forward with your end goals in sight.
It’s all about relationship
Since Henchards began working with business owners back in 2003, we’ve developed a range of trusted techniques and processes. These structured methodologies have been proven to work in a wide variety of businesses, time and time again.
That’s not to say we take a cookie-cutter approach to your business. We don’t. Our tools and processes are flexible, and we’ll tailor our approach to match your needs. We can do this because we spend time getting to know your business – and you. In other words, we’re as invested in your personal ambitions as we are in your business goals.
What does this mean in practice? It depends on what stage your business is at, but we’ll typically run an in-depth ‘business review session’ to ascertain where you are now, a ‘futures session’ to determine where you want to be and where the business needs to be to meet those goals and a ‘goals and planning session’ to agree priorities and plans. After that, we’ll continue to work with you to measure, review, adjust, and celebrate your achievements.
Building successful businesses
Over the years, we’ve developed a track record of working with lots of different businesses, particularly agencies, consultancies and technical service providers. We’ll work alongside you to help solve your challenges, relish opportunities, add to your core strengths and stimulate new and exciting ways to run your business now and in the future.
Henchards works with company owners typically running a business with a £1m+ turnover per annum across Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and London. Talk to us about getting the business advice you need.

Exiting from your business: a one-off event or a multi-stepped journey?
It still comes as a surprise when I hear, “I’ll deal with my business exit it when I get there” and, “My business exit will all happen in one go.” But after many years and many thousands of conversations perhaps it shouldn’t. That’s the danger of being close to a subject – the assumption that everyone else sees the world as you do.
Yes, you can leave your business exit to the end, and it may all happen in one go! However, there is a very real possibility of you being disappointed if you take that approach.
