Who we are
About
OVERVIEW
Taking Flight is a Business Consultancy, Creative Development and Project Management studio based on the North Coast of NSW, Australia (est. 2013). We are a boutique advisory and service provider to Small and Medium Businesses across many industries.
Our vision is to provide advice, products and services to empower existing and aspiring business owners and managers to maximise their business opportunities and lifestyle.
We provide a range of services to assist small business owners and SME’s (Small to Medium Enterprise) with everything from start-up advice, to growth and strategic direction for expansion into new markets. We explain things in easy-to-understand language providing support at every step of the way and give you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you need.
Integrity, ingenuity, perseverance and competence are our fundamental motivators, and over time, we hope this will earn the business a growing and well-respected reputation. Our triple bottom line approach is – People, Planet and Profit – where environmental quality and social equity are just as important as budgetary and financial requirements.
OUR PROCESS IS SIMPLE
“We work alongside our clients to ensure they achieve their goals.”
The modern business environment is conducive for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SME Consultancy is fiercely competitive but the potential for growth is high if you choose the right consultant for your purposes. If you don’t have a solid system and infrastructure in place, you won’t last against your competition. Taking Flight will help set-up and maintain a highly efficient infrastructure for your business to succeed
