GA Partnership Limited (GAP) offers business counselling to individuals, business owners and managers who have a good business, want to see it grow but are not sure of what to do next Drawing upon experience in both the public and private sectors, GAP offers an opportunity to explore typical frustrations, such as not being clear about the market you are targeting, finding that your prospective customers don't understand what you do and wasting time and resources on lead generation activities that promise a lot but disappoint in delivery. An initial 'business counselling' session typically looks at whether or not there is a 'fit' between the business needs and what GAP provides. At the end of the session, a mutual decision is made whether or not to continue. If the decision to continue is agreed, then the scope of the support is considered. We'll work on what needs attention, why this is the case and the impact on the business. We'll decide on the level of investment that is right and be clear about who makes the final decisions. Once a solution is developed, then all we ask for is a simpler 'Yes - let's carry on!' or 'No - it's not right for us.'
