Business development consultant Hunter Region & Australia wide

You know your business needs help. You are just not sure where to start.

That is exactly where I come in.

I am Elyss Larkham. I work alongside small businesses as a hands-on partner, not a consultant who hands you a report and disappears. Whether you are in tourism, trades, professional services or retail, I help you get clear on what needs to happen and then I help you make it happen.

Most of my clients start with one problem. We solve it together. It usually grows from there.

Why work with me

20+ years of actually doing this work

Not consulting from the sidelines. I have built distribution relationships, launched products, managed operations, represented businesses at trade level, and solved the kind of problems that only show up when you are deep inside a business.

I currently sit on the board of the NSW Tourism Association, serve as Lead Judge for the NSW North Coast Tourism Awards, and judge the NSW Tourism Awards. I know what good business looks like from the inside and the outside.

I work with a small number of clients at a time because I believe in doing the work properly. When you work with me, you get me.

  • Board Member — NSW Tourism Association

  • Experienced Judge — NSW Tourism Awards (multi-year), NSW North Coast Tourism Awards

  • Preferred Partner — ROLLER Software

Ready to have that conversation?

You do not need to have it all figured out. Sometimes the best first step is just talking through what is on your mind with someone who has been there.
