About Us

Experience You Can Count On

HEADWAY BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. PROVIDES CRITICAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS, EXECUTIVE SUPPORT AND WORKING CAPITAL SOLUTIONS TO SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED ENTERPRISES.

  

Headway provides many services which can be summarized as bringing three key benefits to corporations - quality advice, delivery support and investment.


Advice - Headway brings an independent viewpoint coupled with expertise gained from real life leadership experiences in multiple businesses. These attributes can help existing management teams to develop the optimum strategic, business improvement and major change plans necessary to achieve their business goals.

  

Support - Once developed by the business, a plan can include several key actions. Headway can help deliver these in many ways: 

  • supporting existing executives in building high calibre teams that can deliver the overall plan
  • assisting management to understand the future cash needs of the business and support their dealings with banks, funders and shareholders to ensure that sufficient working capital is available.
  • bringing corporate support and enormous practical experience when restructuring groups, including facilitating disposals and acquisitions. 
  • working with the management team to cascade the plan and achieve buy-in throughout the organization and with external stakeholders.
  • assisting in formulating development plans for the business and employees to achieve a highly skilled and motivated workforce.
  • supporting a business when additional executive resources are required on a project specific basis, for example helping to facilitate a one-off disposal of a non-core business or directing the settlement of a substantial and distracting corporate dispute.


Investment - Often, the delivery of strategic growth plans, corporate restructuring or turnaround situations require more than day to day working capital, they require investment capital. For the right opportunities Headway can make equity investments on its own behalf and, together with our funding partners, can provide debt and equity funding packages to support a variety of different business requirements.   


 

Mission statement – 'To have a positive impact on every business with which we engage.'
