THE INTERVENTIONISTS

Our interventions are intentionally time-bound and outcome-driven. Rather than long-term consulting engagements, we focus on delivering significant impact within compressed timeframes — enabling organisations to realise tangible value quickly, build momentum, and sustain positive change.

About Us

The Interventionists is a specialist business consulting and turnaround firm providing high-impact intervention services for medium to large companies across all industries. Led by our founder and principal consultant, our team brings decades of corporate leadership, entrepreneurial experience, and executive advisory expertise to organisations facing complex operational, leadership, and performance challenges.

We operate as a flexible network of senior business consultants, turnaround specialists, and executive coaches, enabling us to deploy the right expertise at the right time. This agile model allows us to diagnose business problems quickly, identify root causes with precision, and implement practical, value-driven solutions that deliver measurable results.

What We Do

Our core focus is rapid business improvement and performance optimisation. We specialise in:

Business turnarounds and recovery strategies (including complex and urgent turnaround situations)
Operational efficiency and performance improvement
Strategic interventions and change management

Executive coaching and leadership development
Organisational restructuring and transformation support

As intervention specialists, we are designed to engage quickly, diagnose accurately, and deliver impact fast. Our short, focused consulting engagements minimise disruption to your business while maximising value creation. We don’t believe in long, drawn-out consulting projects — we believe in targeted interventions that unlock rapid gains and sustainable performance improvement.

Our 4 Core Services

From Business Brokering and Business Strategy to Business Coaching, our interventions for your business will assist with operationalising positive and value-enhancing interventions.

Business Brokers

Any business, whether successful or less so, from time to time requires new investors or find new owners. Our process for sourcing buyers or capital is highly specialised, personalised, discreet, and targeted. So much so that we don’t follow the norm in posting business for sale on various websites and wait for buyers, but instead follow a rigorous individualised search for interested parties to engage with.

Specialty areas:

Sell-side brokerage
Exit strategies: retirement, emigration.
Positioning your company prior to selling
Quick improvements prior to selling
Mergers and acquisitions
Negotiations
Valuations

Business Strategy

We have an exceptional track record with successful turnarounds with measurable results in very quick time, regardless of scope, size and complexity of your businesses’ challenges.

Formulation of a new strategy
Critical review and update or refresh of an existing strategy
Business plan writing or reviews
SWOT analysis
Competitive landscape analysis

Business Coaching

The Interventionists are uniquely placed to offer personalised and bespoke coaching services to business managers, owners, entrepreneurs and executives in any size organisation. Our coaching processes are totally discreet and short term with quick results.

Our coaching programs can address any short-, medium- or longer-term shortcomings in your business or your own competencies, insights or capacity. We can assist you with any challenges you may believe you require help with.

Business Turnarounds

When performance drops, cash flow tightens, or leadership teams face pressure, The Interventionists provide rapid business turnaround solutions that stabilise operations and restore confidence.

We specialise in urgent and complex business turnarounds for medium to large organisations across all industries. Our senior turnaround consultants step in fast to diagnose root causes, stop value leakage, and implement practical recovery strategies that deliver measurable improvement — quickly.

Whether your business is facing financial distress, operational inefficiencies, leadership misalignment, or declining profitability, our focused intervention model creates momentum where it’s needed most.

Rapid diagnosis. Decisive action. Sustainable recovery.

Personalised Business Solutions

From Cutting Costs and Boosting Sales to Complete Business Turn-Arounds, our interventionist solutions will greatly assist your business with actioning positive and productive business solutions for all areas of your business in a very quick time.

Our Purpose

We exist to help organisations stabilise, reset, and accelerate performance — especially in moments of pressure, transition, or crisis. Our work is driven by one goal: to create fast, tangible value while building long-term business resilience. If your organisation is facing declining performance, operational complexity, leadership challenges, or urgent turnaround needs, The Interventionists provide the clarity, capability, and momentum to move your business forward.

Testimonials

“When I googled and found Interventionists a few months ago on the web, I just knew that a drastic change was to take place. I can certainly say that Chris really made a huge impact in my life, personally as well as in my business. When I had no confidence or stamina he revived me. The service he renders is outstanding; from his punctuality to his knowledge, wisdom and experience. The assistance with my contracts, emails and any paper work just took such a load off my shoulders. I can confidently approach my clients knowing that I have direction and a strong grounded stance. Chris comes across as a devoted, stern, head strong business partner who would wither the storm come what may. Thank you for the support, encouragement and to the point sound advice. I certainly feel successful and know that I have found a true gem in Chris and The Interventionists. I hope that we will continue to have a long lasting business relationship and as I continue with you, that you will proudly accept the honour and recognition that stems from the growth of EBG Group.”

Ms Teren Gomez

" I can see the impact which Chris has had on important decisions I had to make in my business. He is professional and always consistent and fast with feedback on questions I have. His passion for business and experience is vital in my day to day business operations and his dogged competitive nature to win for his clients is evident. I recently sold a business and his knowledge of commercial law, negotiations and the structuring of my sale agreement increased the sales price and decreased the risk I had to take. I could tap into his fast business network to get advice and input on key issues from time to time. I will recommend Chris to anyone that wants to win in business.”

Mr Jean de Lange

Service: M&A, Coaching & Advisory

"At first I was nervous to have Chris see the bare bones of my companies which I started from scratch 11 years ago. But the time for guidance and intervention had come! I started 2024 wanting to run away, as the stress was piling on, but thanks to The Interventionists I have ended the year much stronger, with a much improved business, better management skills and a better work life balance. I truly feel I have now stepped up into the proper CEO role. Chris’ guidance and coaching was down to earth and extremely helpful and instrumental."

Ms Amy Knoetze

“I had approached The Interventionists to assist me in formalizing an exit strategy for my business. Being a sensitive and emotional issue, I appreciated the unique perspective that Chris provided, resulting in a deliverable that will benefit both the business and myself with the minimum of risk involved. I am happy to recommend the services of The Interventionist”.
