    There are a lot of people out there with great ideas; over 60% fail in under a year! Poor management and lack of financial controls are cited as the primary reason for over 70% of SME failures*.

    We add value by providing all the services you require, such as management experience and formal processes, to increase your non-financial contribution to a new venture and thus increase your return on investment.

    One key issue for investors is the Management Team.
    Aorta Group provides the level of expertise and the calibre of people a new venture needs but cannot afford on a full time or full scale basis. We fill gaps in a company’s management team with part-time or full-time resources - supplying HR, IT, marketing, finance and management expertise, combined with full payroll and accounting functions if required -, giving you the flexibility and ability to invest where previously you wouldn’t have, or to improve the quality of the existing team lowering your investment risk.
    By providing all the support functions required by new and high growth businesses – from business planning to finding their way through onerous financial legislation and statutory reporting requirements - we help them focus on what they know how to do best.

    By taking on critical management and financial responsibilities within these organisations, we help protect and secure your investment to achieve the best returns.
