Frequently Asked Questions

Australian B2B business owners and directors. Founder-led or small leadership teams across industrial and commercial services, manufacturing, distribution, professional services, healthcare and IT. The trigger is not always a crisis. Many clients are profitable businesses where the numbers should look better.
Businesses under pressure: Cash tightening, margin declining, creditor pressure building, cashflow not matching what the P&L suggests it should be. You need clarity fast and a plan that stabilises the business quickly.
Businesses that want more: Revenue flat or growing but margin not moving with it, pricing not reviewed in more than 12 months, growth ambition with no clear view of where the next revenue is coming from, cost structures that have never been forensically examined against true overhead recovery.
Both situations start in the same place. Your financial evidence, not assumptions.
Fixer48 delivers evidence-based commercial performance and turnaround advisory through the Commercial Performance System, a proprietary six-stage engagement methodology. Every recommendation is built from your financial evidence. Every engagement closes with a validated growth roadmap your team owns and can execute independently.
Every engagement begins with a fit call to confirm scope and the evidence pack required. Within 48 hours of receiving your completed evidence pack, preliminary strategy gaps are identified. From there, the engagement moves to Stage 2 without delay.
Tier 1 is a four-week Commercial Diagnostic closing with an owner-directed action plan. Tier 2 is a 90-day Performance Engagement with Fixer48 embedded through implementation, closing with a Confirmed Growth Roadmap and structured handover. Tier 3 is a six-month Full Transformation including Commercial Forensics, overhead recovery rebuild and the deepest level of Fixer48 involvement. Every engagement begins with a Preliminary Diagnostic before any fee commitment beyond Stage 1 is made.
Tier 1 delivers a clear, quantified picture of every revenue and margin opportunity available and a prioritised plan to pursue it. Tier 2 targets measurable revenue growth and margin improvement within 90 days. Tier 3 targets 15 to 20 percent revenue growth and a minimum 2 to 3 point margin improvement within 12 months, subject to baseline evidence.
No. You stay in control. Your team executes. Fixer48 delivers the diagnosis, the plan and the implementation structure, and remains present and accountable alongside you through execution at Tier 2 and Tier 3 level.
No. Your accountant, lawyer, bookkeeper and other advisors retain their roles. Fixer48 adds commercial execution capacity and structure alongside your existing advisory relationships. We coordinate findings with your advisors so actions stay aligned.
Fixer48 is led by Ash Kent, Founder and Director, with more than 30 years of CEO, GM and MD experience across FMCG, manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, multi-site operations and regulated technology markets. Every engagement is practitioner-led, not consultant-led.
No. The CPS methodology applies across most B2B trading businesses. The commercial problems it solves are consistent across sectors. Sector knowledge informs the entry point and the credibility of the approach. It does not determine eligibility.
Fixer48 does not provide legal advice, tax advice, audit opinions, insolvency appointment services or lender advice. Those matters stay with your appointed advisors.
Yes, where there is a viable commercial model and a founder who wants to build it correctly from the start. For early-stage businesses, Fixer48 focuses on strengthening the business model, establishing the right commercial foundations, identifying immediate revenue levers and building the operating controls that allow the business to scale without structural problems compounding as it grows.
For startups with 12 months or more of trading history and existing financial reporting, the full CPS diagnostic can be applied to identify what is working, what is not and where the highest-priority commercial actions are.
