GH Business Risk Review
Spot the gaps. Understand the risks. Know what to fix first.
A practical, plain English review for small businesses who want to understand their main HR, health and safety, compliance, and document gaps before they turn into expensive problems.
The problem with not knowing
Most small business owners we meet are good at the job. The work gets done, clients are happy, and the business keeps going. What keeps people awake is not the work: it is the nagging sense that something on the paperwork side is not right, and not knowing which thing it is.
The usual response is to do nothing until something forces the issue: a tender, an audit, an accident, or an insurer asking a question you cannot answer. By that point you are reacting under pressure, and it costs more in time, money, and stress than it needed to.
The Business Risk Review is the cheapest, lowest effort way to swap that uncertainty for a short, ordered list of what actually matters.
What is included
Six things, all of them useful. Nothing padded out to look like value.
Intake form
A short, plain English form so we understand your business, your sector, and how you actually work before we speak.
GH working document
Sent to you before the call, so you can see what we are looking at and come prepared. No surprises, no cold questions.
1 to 1 review call with Lisa
A focused conversation about what you have in place, what is missing, and what is likely to cause you a problem first.
Review of your current documents
We look at what you already have: policies, risk assessments, RAMS, training records, contracts. Reuse beats rewriting.
One page priority action plan
A single page, RAG rated, in order of priority. Red first, then amber, then green. No forty page report nobody reads.
Clear next steps
You will know exactly what to fix first, what can wait, and roughly what each item involves.
How your action plan is scored
Every area we review is rated red, amber, or green. It is the same simple system used on site, so you do not need to learn anything new to read your own report.
You get one page. Red items first, in the order we would tackle them. That is deliberate: a short, ordered list gets acted on, and a long report gets filed.
Red
High risk. Immediate action needed. Potential for legal, financial, or reputational harm.
Amber
Medium risk. Action needed in the short to medium term to stop it escalating.
Green
Low risk. Controls are in place and working. Leave it alone and keep it ticking over.
Is this you?
The review works best when one of these sounds familiar.
Your business has grown quickly
You have taken on more people, more work, or bigger clients, and the paperwork has not kept pace with the job.
Your documents are scattered
Policies in one folder, risk assessments in an email, training certificates in a van. You know it is not right, but not where to start.
You are preparing for a tender or client check
A PQQ, an audit, an inspection, or a new principal contractor is about to ask for evidence you are not sure you can produce.
Something nearly went wrong
A near miss, a complaint, or an insurance question has made you realise you want to know where you actually stand.
Built to be easy to deal with
Plenty of business owners find long documents, dense forms, and open ended meetings genuinely hard going. We design around that, because it makes the service better for everyone.
- ✓Short forms, with plain English questions and no jargon
- ✓Your working document sent in advance, so nothing is sprung on you in the call
- ✓One page of output, in priority order, not a report you have to decode
- ✓Written summary after the call, so you do not have to rely on notes or memory
- ✓Clear pricing up front, with no open ended hourly billing
What this is
- ✓A paid, standalone piece of work
- ✓An honest view of where you stand today
- ✓A short, ordered list of what to fix first
- ✓Yours to use however you like
What this is not
- ✗A free discovery call with a pitch at the end
- ✗A full formal audit or certification assessment
- ✗A commitment to any further work with us
- ✗A forty page report written to justify a fee
The review is based on the information you provide and the documents you share. It is indicative and intended to guide risk based decision making. It does not constitute a full audit or formal legal advice.
Common questions
Is this a sales call in disguise?
No. It is a standalone paid service. You get the action plan whether you work with us afterwards or not, and you are free to hand it to someone else or do the work yourself.
How long does it take?
The intake form takes around fifteen minutes. The review call is up to an hour. Your action plan follows within a few working days of the call.
What if I have almost nothing in place?
That is a very common starting point and it is fine. The review is designed to tell you what matters first, which is more useful when you are starting from scratch, not less.
Do you need to visit my site?
Not for this. The review is delivered remotely. If a site visit would add value, we will say so in your action plan and quote separately.
Which sectors do you cover?
Forestry, arboriculture, construction, highways, and defence are our core sectors. We also work with other hands on and service businesses where the same compliance pressures apply.
What happens after the review?
Entirely your call. Some clients take the plan and run with it. Others ask us to deliver specific items, or move onto Quarterly Compliance Clarity for ongoing support.
Where it can lead
Do it yourself
Take the action plan and work through it in your own time. Many owners do exactly this, and that is a good outcome.
