The business rebuilding organisation, The Business Whisperer, today announced two appointments to their Board of Advisors. These are international business coach and speaker Sue Stockdale, and agri-business expert Gerry Scully who is Programme Manager for Rural Development with Teagasc.
The Business Whisperer is the first company in the Irish market offering viable Irish SMEs a ‘one-stop-shop’ solution to the cash flow problems magnified by the current economic climate in just seven days.
“The Business Whisperer is very pleased to have secured these two significant appointments”, said Deborah Lee Marlow, founder of The Business Whisperer, “It is essential for a business such as this to have an experienced and well connected Board of Advisors. Sue Stockdale and Gerry Scully bring an unparalleled wealth of experience and strategic knowledge with them. I am looking forward to working with them both”.
The Business Whisperer is a new type of business, rescuing stressed small and medium businesses (SMEs) through increasing cash flow. This crack team of successful Irish and international business owners and entrepreneurs take just seven days to identify how cash flow can be improved. The Business Whisperer team provide a compact service, with an innovative ‘no win-no fee’ guarantee: if they can’t prove a business will save money, they don’t charge.
The post-boom economy has created a critical need in Ireland for a service to help SMEs source and access increased cash flow. The Business Whisperer does this through combination of debt consolidation, increased sales, improved efficiencies, outside capital and innovative financial management.
Last year Irish business liquidations rose by a staggering 400%. Many of these companies were well run solid business that simply ran out of cash, as the banks (the same banks that the taxpayer recently paid billions of Euros to ‘bale out’) virtually stopped commercial lending and severely restricted access to overdraft facilities. As Deborah Lee Marlow succinctly points out “It’s simply cheaper for the taxpayer to keep a good business in business”.
