Business reorganization
Business reorganization is the structured redesign of a company's processes, roles, cost base, or capital so that the operating model matches the business the company is now, not the business it used to be.
How do you know when a business needs to reorganize?
A business needs to reorganize when adding people no longer adds capacity, when the owner is still the bottleneck, when costs have grown faster than contribution, or when the original structure cannot support the current size. Hiring more people into a broken design makes the design more expensive.
Companies outgrow the way they were built. The informal structure that worked at $4 million becomes expensive theater at $18 million.
Reorganization can mean a new management structure, a simpler product set, a different cost base, or a capital structure that stops starving operations. It does not have to mean a crisis.
We do this work carefully. People notice. Customers notice. The point is to change the design without destroying the value the company already has.
Signs this work is needed
- The company is harder to run this year than last year at the same size
- Overlapping managers and underlapping ownership
- A cost base built for a growth plan that did not arrive
- The founder cannot describe who is accountable for what
