Do you work onsite or remotely?
Yes, both. We can come to your workshop, factory or production site to see how you work in real life, or support you remotely for pricing reviews, supplier checks and monthly oversight. Most clients choose a hybrid mix.
Do you help SMEs as well as small workshops?
Absolutely. We work with small manufacturers, hands-on workshops, and growing SMEs who make physical products. Whether you're a one-site workshop or a multi-team operation, the principles of cost clarity, waste reduction and margin protection are the same.
What types of businesses do you help?
Joiners, fabricators, makers, ceramics studios, craft producers, small manufacturers, and SMEs with production, assembly or workshop environments. If you make physical products and margins matter, we can help.
How quickly can you find profit leaks?
Usually within the first onsite visit. Most workshops and SMEs have 3 to 7 leaks that show up fast: wasted materials, uncharged labour, incorrect pricing, process inefficiencies, and poor material flow that slows production down. Once we see how your work actually moves through the workshop, the problems become obvious and the fixes are straightforward.
Do I need to prepare anything before you visit?
No. Just run your workshop or production area as normal. We spot issues best when we see your real day-to-day workflow.
Is £249 really enough for a full Cost Check?
Yes. It's designed to be a low-risk, fast-value starting point for small manufacturers and SMEs. Most businesses recover that cost within days once the leaks are fixed.
Can you support larger or more complex operations?
Yes. Our Full Cost Engineering and Specialist Projects options are built for SMEs with multiple staff, batch production, higher output, or more complex workflows.
What if I only want help with one specific problem?
No issue at all. Our Adhoc & Specialist Projects option covers one-off challenges like factory moves, big contract bids, layout redesigns, workflow issues or supplier disputes.
Do you replace accountants or bookkeepers?
No. Accountants look backwards at paperwork. We look at what's happening right now on the workshop floor: materials, labour, waste, pricing and margins.
Do you lock people into long contracts?
No. Monthly support is month-to-month. Specialist projects are fixed-scope with clear pricing upfront.
Can you help if I'm a very small workshop or just starting out?
Yes, the Cost Check is perfect for early-stage businesses. It gives you clarity before pricing mistakes become long-term problems.
