Business Coaching for Manufacturing

That Gets Results

SBAAS helps manufacturers of all sizes across Australia. We support metal, plastics, food, beverage, furniture, electronics and more. We fix bottlenecks, strengthen quality, and set up simple systems that stick.

Start with what matters most.

We focus on the few changes that shift results fast. Then we build the routines to keep them going.

  • Clear strategy and goals for the next stage of growth

  • Practical compliance systems that pass audits with less effort

  • Website and SEO that attract the right customers

  • Social media and EDM that support sales teams

  • Curriculum, assessment and SCORM-ready training for your workforce

  • Supplier, inventory and scheduling basics that reduce delays

  • Simple dashboards so leaders see issues early.

This is Actually Supported. We do more than advise. We plan, build and implement with you.

Strategy that guides daily decisions

We set a direction that teams can follow.
Your product mix, customers and pricing align. Jobs flow from sales to dispatch with fewer surprises.

That’s what it means to be Actually Supported.

People on a Business Meeting Discussing and Writing on Clear Board

Compliance that helps, not hinders

Keep records clean and easy to find.
We install simple checklists and registers. Audits become routine, not stressful. Staff know what to do and when.

Web, SEO and sales enablement

Look credible to buyers who compare suppliers online.
We build a website that explains your capability and proof. We target local and national search. We set up enquiry forms, tracking and simple follow up. Social posts and EDM campaigns support account managers and tenders.

Workforce training that works

Skill development should be clear and measured.
We design curriculum and assessments for plant roles and supervisors. Packages are SCORM-ready and easy to deploy. We have designed full VET qualifications across many streams, plus more than 200 corporate training packages. Your team learns what good looks like, then proves it.

Operations that run smoothly

Small gaps cause big delays.
We standardise job stages, handovers and checks. Inventory rules reduce stockouts. Maintenance routines cut unplanned downtime. Work instructions are plain English and visual where helpful.

We deliver in-house or through trusted affiliates we introduce.

Tools that fit your factory

Technology must serve the process.
We shortlist and set up the tools you need. That may include scheduling, maintenance, inventory, CRM or lightweight job control. Data flows once, not many times.

Australia-wide, local focus

We work across Australia, online and on-site.
Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are key hubs. We also support Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and regional centres.

How we work together

  1. Understand your goals and constraints

  2. Map the process and find quick wins

  3. Build systems, content and tools

  4. Train teams and launch

  5. Review results and keep improving

You see progress quickly. We keep it simple and usable on the floor.

Results you can expect

  • Faster lead times and fewer reworks

  • Clearer schedules and less chasing

  • Stronger audit outcomes with less admin

  • A website and content that help sales win

  • A trained workforce with proof of competence

Our Approach

Systems

We help build the tools, processes and structure that give you breathing room so things run smoother behind the scenes.

Brains

You’ll get access to executive-level thinking that fits your business stage. Strategy, financial insight and decision-making support without the corporate overhead.

Advice

Our advice is grounded in your world. We help you cut through noise and focus on what works in your context, your industry and your budget.

Actual Support

We stay involved when it matters. Whether it’s compliance documentation, policies, HR systems, bookkeeping or brand positioning, we don’t just recommend, we help deliver.

This isn’t theory. It’s support that actually shows up.

Why SBAAS?

Our difference?

We give you clarity, systems that stick, advice that works and support that doesn’t disappear.

Eric went above and beyond during our initial consultation regarding start-up structure and the best way forward. It was an enriching conversation, and I now have much more confidence moving forward in what already feels like a true partnership.

When I was looking to start my disability support business, I came across SBAAS and had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric and Trudi. They were genuinely so lovely from day one. They went above and beyond for me in every way and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I always felt so supported and like I had people in my corner who actually cared about what I was trying to build. They were super easy to talk to, really patient and took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted my business to look like. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Even now, I still feel like I could reach out if I needed help or had questions and they’d be more than happy to help. I'm so grateful for them and everything they did to help me get started. Thank you Eric and Trudi!

As a startup social enterprise, our team of three had never built a business together before, so having the support of Eric and Trudi Allgood from SBAAS has been invaluable. From business planning, policies and procedures through to bookkeeping support and strategic advice, they've helped us put the right foundations in place for sustainable growth. What we love most is that they don't just give advice—they keep us accountable and focused on moving forward. Many of the things we've struggled with as a new business were second nature to them, and their guidance has saved us countless hours, mistakes and headaches. As sponsors and supporters of our community art gallery, they've also been incredibly generous with their time and encouragement. It's clear they genuinely care about helping small businesses succeed. We're incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend SBAAS to any business owner looking for experienced advisors who truly have your best interests at heart.

Eric was fantastic to work with throughout the process of developing our policy for working with schools. His knowledge and expertise in this area were evident from the outset, and he was able to explain requirements clearly and provide practical guidance that made the process much easier to navigate. Eric took the time to understand our business, answer our questions, and ensure we had a policy that was both compliant and fit for purpose. I appreciated his professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to share his knowledge. I would highly recommend Eric to any organisation looking for expert advice and support in this area. Thank you again for your assistance, Eric.

Eric has an exceptional ability to quickly understand the brief, cut through complexity, and take decisive action. As a family-run business navigating a very stressful operational reform to align with licensing regulations, his guidance brought immediate clarity and calm. He provided clear, practical instruction and moved quickly, helping us see a structured path forward when things felt overwhelming. Thanks to his expertise and responsiveness, we were able to implement the required changes efficiently and achieve approval far quicker than expected. I would highly recommend Eric and SBAAS to any small or family-run business needing strong commercial support during complex or high-pressure situations.

Yet another business sending spam. Let's cut to the chase. - No, I have never had a "relationship" with you. - Yes, I have reported to ACMA. - No, I'm not going to unsubscribe. You can't just add me to your spam list and expect me to do the work because you are taking the spam route. - Yes, I have reported you to your mailing list provider, "Constant Contact" - Yes I do give low reviews to all of the spamming businesses that email me. - Don't reply with how much you value privacy etc etc. Just don't spam me. - Eric, you hold yourself out to be a "sort-after speaker", and A visionary leader". Maybe a bit less reliance on spam marketing?
