Our advisors Mike and Sarah, have been in your shoes and provide expert advice which we can adapt to any business situation, whether you are a brand new or established business.
If you were wondering where we got our name - here's our philosophy..
Alchemy in its ancient form, had four phases, Black Phase, the base metal and its first changes, Yellow Phase, further changes to the physical make up of the metal, Green Phase, Visual changes and finally White Phase, the finished GOLD!
We at Black Phase Business take these phases and apply them to Business and Enterprise, because we believe that Alchemy does exist today. Business and Enterprise is to us the modern day Alchemy, and entrepreneurs are modern day Alchemists.
Our aim is to engage with anyone who is
Thinking about starting a business? “The Black Phase”
Finally taking them through to the launch of their business - “The White Phase” when the GOLD comes flowing in!
We can then help them with the planning stages such as business plan
and cash flow -“The Yellow Phase”
Find them the best method of marketing & promotion for their particular enterprise, “The Green Phase”
