Government grants and funding
I scope what you actually qualify for, prep the paperwork, and shepherd the application through to approval. Most clients come in not knowing which grants exist for them — by the end, they usually have more options than they started with.
One-to-one business advisory
A thinking partner for the questions keeping you up at night — pricing, expansion, hiring, whether the unit economics even work. I tell you what I actually think, not what you want to hear.
Productivity and operations diagnosis
A structured look at how your business actually runs — workflow, headcount, layout, systems — and where the leaks are. Comes with a written action plan, not just observations.
Connections to the right people
Banks, government agencies, trade associations, suppliers, potential partners. Singapore's SME ecosystem is wide but hard to navigate alone — I open the right doors.
Group based upgrading project
A group-based project that takes a group of SMEs through a structured upgrade — shared learning, shared cost, shared outcomes. We run these when there is a critical mass of similar businesses ready to move.
F&B process optimisation
Kitchen and outlet workflow, menu engineering, manpower planning, customer experience. The unfair advantage — I've run F&B operations myself, so the advice is rooted in what actually works on a Tuesday at 6pm, not what looks good on a slide.
