You've built the business. Now it needs to work better.
Sales are coming in, but the cash is never there. Stock goes missing. Expenses keep creeping up. And nothing moves unless you're in the room.
​
We find what's really causing it, and fix it with you.
FOR BUSINESS OWNERS IN NIGERIA: from supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, distributors, manufacturers, hospitals, schools to professional service firms and more.
01
You're selling, but the cash is never there.
Sales look healthy. The account doesn't. You can't tell where the profit is going.
Not sure where you stand? Check your numbers in a few minutes. It’s free.
Something isn't working, but you can't quite put your finger on it. What you can see usually isn't the real problem. Finding what is, that's the job.
These aren't guesses. They're patterns I've watched from both sides, first as a banker deciding who got the loan, now as the person sitting inside Lagos businesses, fixing what the numbers and processes don't always show.
Sound Familiar?
02
Stock and money keep going missing.
Leakage, theft or carelessness. You know something is happening, but you can't see where.
03
Nothing moves unless you're there.
Too much lives in your head, your phone and the heads of a few key people.
04
Your prices and expenses are guesswork.
You're not sure what each sale really makes you, while costs keep climbing.
I've been where you are.
I've sat across the table deciding whether a loan would keep a business breathing for another quarter, and still watched good businesses go under, not for lack of revenue, but because nobody was watching what was happening underneath. Now I sit inside businesses like yours, doing that watching myself.

WHAT YOU FIX
A stronger more profitable business
The problem you can see isn't always the problem you need to solve.
The Problem Under the Problem
A profit problem might trace back to pricing. A pricing problem might trace back to customer mix. A customer-mix problem might trace back to how the sales team is set up. We follow the chain until we find what's actually driving it.

The Trivet Difference
We don't start with a solution and look for somewhere to use it. Your business isn't a case study.
It has its own history, people, numbers, constraints and ambitions. We don't pull a solution off a shelf and force your business to fit it. We work from what is actually happening, then build what fits.
Who We Work With
We work with business owners and leaders in Lagos, and across Nigeria, who want a business that works today and can carry more tomorrow
Before you book a call
Could someone else in the business explain how the numbers actually work, or does it all sit with you?
Not sure if now's the right time? Ask yourself:
If you took two weeks off, would the business run the same way?
Do you know which part of the business is actually making you money, and which part is just busy?
When you last made a big decision, did you have the numbers you needed, or did you go with your gut?
If two or more of these made you pause, that's probably enough reason to talk
