Risk Advisory
Where the exposures sit, what they could cost, and what to put in place first.
Risk work often produces a long register that nobody uses. The useful version is much shorter. What could genuinely hurt this business, how likely is it, what would it cost, and what is the cheapest thing that reduces it.
We keep it at that level, so the output is a short list of things worth doing rather than a document that demonstrates thoroughness.
What this covers
Risk assessment
Structured review of financial and operational exposure, built around your business rather than a generic template.
Impact and likelihood
Each exposure sized in money where possible, so the register can be ranked by something more useful than a colour.
Concentration review
Dependency on single customers, suppliers, systems or individuals, which is where small businesses are most often caught.
Financial risk
Currency, credit, liquidity and covenant exposure, including what happens if two of them move at once.
Mitigation planning
For the exposures that matter, what to put in place, what it costs, and how much risk it actually removes.
Periodic review
Revisiting the assessment as the business changes, so it stays a live document rather than an artefact.
Who this is for
- Businesses with concentrated customer, supplier or currency exposure
- Companies whose board or lender expects a documented view of risk
- Owners who want an outside assessment before a period of growth or change
Common situations we are brought in for
- One customer represents a share of revenue that would be painful to lose
- You trade in several currencies without a deliberate policy on it
- A covenant is tighter than it was and you want to understand the headroom
- You are entering a new market or product line and want the exposure understood first
