Your business is ready to grow.
Is your structure?
Most privately owned businesses hit a ceiling not because the market stopped — but because the operating model didn't keep up.
Who we work with
Growth Jumpers
Privately owned,
founder-led
founder-led
Hitting a ceiling. Operationally complex and growing faster than the structure can support. What got you here won't get you there — and you know it. You need structure, accountability, and a clear path to scale.
Performance Improvers
Established businesses,
inconsistent results
inconsistent results
Management is in place but results are inconsistent. Margin is leaking. The business runs on effort, not systems. You need repeatability, rigour, and P&L discipline that doesn't depend on heroics.
The alternative to a full-time hire
Faster than hiring.
A fraction of the cost.

Most businesses spend 6 months and $50,000+ finding the right person — before they've done a single day's work. BMHV can diagnose the problem and start fixing it in weeks.
| Option | Total first-year cost | Time to impact | Risk if it doesn't work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recruit a GM | $280k – $350k | 9–12 months | Very high |
| Recruit a CEO | $380k – $550k | 12–18 months | Very high |
| Do nothing | Unknown — but compounding | Never | Certain |
| BMHV Advisory | $1,500 – $20,000 | Weeks | Low — no employment risk |

The recruitment cost most owners forget: Recruiter fees alone typically run 15–20% of first year salary. Add onboarding, ramp time, and the cost of a wrong hire — and the real cost of a senior executive appointment is rarely under $50,000 before they've delivered anything.
First-year costs include salary, superannuation, recruitment fees, and estimated ramp time. BMHV range reflects monthly advisory through to a full Business Diagnostic engagement.
How we work
Step 01
Diagnose
Identify what's actually broken before anyone makes a decision. Fast, structured, and confronting. Most businesses are surprised by what the diagnostic surfaces.
Step 02
Stabilise & Optimise
Fix the structural issues causing underperformance. Accountability, process, margin, and reporting — executed, not just recommended.
Step 03
Advise & Scale
Ongoing executive capability as the business grows. Strategic direction, leadership development, and performance oversight — without the cost of a full-time hire.
