About

Welcome to Zephyr Management Solutions where we aim to empower the SME business owner to make business management a breeze.
At Zephyr Management Solutions we believe that the best place for business management skills is within the business and reach of the business owner.

Scarce Resources ...
Zephyr Management Solutions recognizes that the SME entity has a day to day battle with scarce resources. We focus our services and products upon addressing limitations in particular to time, access and retention of intellectual capital and cash management.
Time
There is never enough time to get everything done let alone invest the time to get it done right.
Sometimes the momentum of your business drives you, rather than you driving it, raising the risk of losing control of the direction your business activity takes and your vision.
Freeing up your time from repetitive and recurring activities should be seen as a priority. By managing the activities that are the exception from the norm, you are better equipped to retain control of your business’ direction.
Intellectual Capital
As business owner, it is impossible to know and do everything yourself.
When your business becomes more sophisticated you will hire people with skillsets that are beyond your skill base and become reliant upon their knowledge.
However retention of staff in the smaller entity is a constant challenge and subsequently there is the ever present danger of your intellectual capital walking out the door.
The SME business owner needs to identify the sources of their intellectual capital and implement strategies to embed it in their business culture and business systems to reduce the impact when valued staff leave.
Cash
Cash management within the SME entity needs to be a fine tuned machine.
To avoid the danger of becoming a pay check business, the SME business owner needs to focus upon educating themselves about how money flows through their entity and develop skills in managing it.
With a sound Cash Management Strategy, the SME business can shores up the probability of surviving economic downturns.
The optimal time to develop and implement a Cash Management Strategy is now, regardless of whether your business is booming or amidst financial hardship.
