COVID-19 SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES

April 15, 2020

New COVID-19 RBP FUNDING available now.
Business Continuity Planning available from BreakThrough Business Solutions

We are in unprecedented times with Covid-19 impacting business, employment, livelihoods and all aspects of daily life.  This has resulted in a new operational reality for all businesses and people. For some business owners they may be experiencing a cash crisis, for others working from home a continuity crisis, and for those in essential services, may be struggling to keep up with demand and delivery.  

One of the most important keys to coming through this is Business Continuity Planning and Recovery.

It’s important to be prepared, plan how the business can continue through major disruption, and emerge out the other side stronger and still in business.  

We are pleased to advise that BreakThrough Business Solutions have been approved as a provider for Business Continuity Planning and Recovery, with Regional Business Partners to support SME’s through Covid-19.

There is now additional funding available, and this will be at 100% fully funded if companies meet the criteria.  This will be to the maximum of $2,000 in order to support as many businesses as possible.  

The criteria to be considered are:

  1. You are an employer with less than 50 staff
  2. Your business was generally sound prior to the COVID-19 challenge and with the right support should survive to provide jobs and income in the future
  3. You need the financial support from RBPN
  4. The COVID-19 crisis is affecting your business

Funding is open to those who have never accessed it before, and also for those who have received funding previously through ATEED and NZTE.  The process has been streamlined and made easier for all applicants and involves completing an application, a phone call with a regional business adviser to discuss the business needs and to determine if you qualify, then a short process to make the booking online.   

How BreakThrough will be supporting businesses

PLANNING:

Review current business, revenue lost, impact on staff, expenses and financial position.  Identify ways to mitigate risk and minimise the impact of Covid-19 to current business.
Re-think strategy and explore the need to Pivot during this time, look for opportunities in the market and what the business CAN do to trade out of this time.
Innovate and create new income streams where possible and focus on short term goals to increase revenue, and keep staff engaged and productive.  

IMPLEMENTATION:

Develop a practical 90 day action plan for the business owner and staff members to implement tactics and strategies and initially focus on short term results.  For some companies this may be to Survive and emerge still operational, for other businesses they may see an increase in growth and the need to manage this increase in workload and manage systems to service increased work.

Implementation also requires close communication with staff, ensuring strong leadership to keep the team motivated and positive.  Mindset and Motivation training will be provided to help business owners and employees to work through this time.

RECOVERY:

To pro-actively develop ‘market readiness’ and upskill business owners and staff to respond quickly to change.   This requires staff to be agile and focused on problem-solving. To have developed the 90-day plan for short term disruption, and implement rapidly.

To also focus on the next 6 – 12 months to enable businesses to increase business as we emerge from Covid-19 into a new business environment and marketplace.  This will be important to ensure businesses can increase revenue, support staff and safeguard their future.

We are here to support you

If you would like help to support your business through Covid-19, keep your staff engaged and motivated, and develop a clear step by step plan to not only get through this but focus on recovery as you emerge from lockdown, then get in touch.  We can let you know how to apply for 100% funding, it is an easy and streamlined process, and we’re here to help.

Client Success Stories

Fiona ‘GOT’ my business and what it was about’’

Fiona was highly recommended to me by another business person who said to me “Fiona turned my business around”. So I met with Fiona and knew instantly that she “got my business and what it was about”. I was drawn to Fiona also by her expert knowledge and experience in sales and marketing. Fiona is thorough, detailed and very personable. She is a pleasure to work with.

Kirsten Laurence – Managing Director – Proficient Debt Recovery

Simple but effective ways to get new customers

Fiona helped me to stay on track with my business; put good systems in place, identified opportunities for growth, and implemented various strategies to increase the business. Fiona showed me what steps to take to improve and grow my business. She created a simple but effective way to help new customers with decision making which led to increased orders of product. She is absolutely passionate about what she does and helps business owners to get there.

Marina Korovkina – Basilur Tea New Zealand

Another fantastic seminar from Fiona at BreakThrough Business Solutions. I have been to many seminars but Fiona certainly stands out from the crowd. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and winning strategies , I look forward to implementing these and reaping the rewards!!!

Sara Morles – Business Development Manager – Peter Hay Group

Staff Training / Seminar

“Fiona has been great to work with. When we met she listened well and grasped the nature of our business quickly, and then worked closely with us to plan an effective staff team day. Her communication was prompt and clear, and the programme she mapped out was spot on for what we wanted. The actual day was delivered professionally, with warmth and fun. Staff enjoyed themselves and learnt lots at the same time. I would highly recommend Fiona and we are looking at how we can work with her again.”

Vicki Sykes – CEO – Friendship House

Staff have really stepped up and even surprised themselves…

Fiona has helped us look at our business from a totally different perspective. She has helped us to develop new strategies and approaches and we are working more ‘on’ the business rather than being consumed by it. The staff training we have had has gone very well and the staff have really stepped up and even surprised themselves by what they have achieved. Fiona makes you accountable to yourself and has a fabulous way of working. I would definitely recommend her.

Mavis Griffiths – The Prenzel Shop

Fiona gave us the simple steps and practical strategies to succeed in 2014…

We contracted Fiona to help formulate a practical Business Plan for the next 12 months. She was generous with her time and expertise, quickly grasping the nature of our business and identifying the main issues needing attention. Fiona is highly organised and motivated, with a great sense of humour and a determination to see her clients succeed. We have enjoyed working with her and now have a clear step-by-step plan to implement, along with practical strategies to make it easy.

Sonya Berger – General Manager – South Trade

On – the – mark Business Planning

Fiona has been providing me with on-the-mark advice around my business development for the coming year. It’s her determination to see her clients succeed that makes Fiona stand out. Not for her ‘advise . . . and walk away.’ Fiona follows up, provides the structure and advice founded in experience to develop a strong business plan that works. Of course, it’s over to her clients to actually do the doing – and Fiona’s got the systems at her fingertips and the ability to whip-crack (nicely) so we develop that self-discipline to carry out the required actions. Value? Yes. Great to deal with? Yes. Results? Yes – if you follow Fiona’s advice.

Helen Slater – Strata Communications

I have been working with Fiona just over a year and she has helped me build my business to what it is today. I have had a 75% increase in turnover. I would highly recommend taking the steps to bring Fiona on board in your business. I have come across many business advisors/coaches but no one comes close to the service and hands on approach like Fiona.

Recently expanded my business

I have recently moved into a beautiful new Beauty Therapy Salon, and it is all since working with Fiona Clark from BreakThrough Business Solutions. She has given me the confidence to set goals, to have a vision and to believe in myself. The Business Planning process and strategies she developed were unbelievable, and my business has successfully expanded. I have a great business that I love coming to every day. I am so grateful for all the help and support I’ve had. Thank you!
