Beauty Update Hair Salon

Turning Challenges Into a Plan for Growth

After eight years of running Beauty Update Hair Salon Ltd with two employees, owner Guy Galang found herself facing challenges many small business owners know too well. Business had dipped, her time was stretched thin, and the financial side of things had become overwhelming.

That was when Guy turned to SBA Advisory* for some well-timed business advisory expertise, more than just the compliance work she had received from her local SBA in the past. Unlike standard accounting, which focuses on meeting tax and reporting obligations, this was about looking ahead, planning for growth and creating strategies to strengthen the business.

Working closely with an SBA Advisory business advisor, she received practical guidance on budgeting, cashflow planning, forecasting and tax payment scheduling. Regular follow-ups and reminders meant nothing slipped through the cracks, freeing Guy to focus on her clients and the day-to-day running of the salon.

“Fantastic, reliable and efficient. “The business advice I received from SBA Advisory completely changed how I run my salon. I now have clear budgets, better cashflow, and a solid plan for growth and I know my advisor will be there to guide me every step of the way.”

The impact has been significant. With better financial systems in place and a clear plan for the months ahead, Guy feels confident, supported and in control of her business direction.

“If everyone knew what this service can do for your business and your personal mental health, I am sure they would all be onboard with this grateful assistance.”

For Guy, the experience proved the value of trusted business expertise and reflects the forward-looking support SBA Advisory offers to small business owners across New Zealand.
