About Us

It’s not about us, it’s about you. Usually this page is about the founders and vision behind a business. But we’re flipping that on its head, because our business is all about you.

We started Business Accelerators in 2013 to empower small and medium enterprises (SME) to achieve more in business. Launching was an organic journey, starting with a few conversations around the dinner table with mates in business, sharing thoughts, hacks, advice and successes that had worked for us in business. Our passion to help people in business led to a lightbulb moment for us to change our course and do just that. So with the encouragement of the people we’d helped along the way, we left the safety of our corporate jobs and set up Business Accelerators.

We believe that business doesn’t have to be complicated, and profit is key. From our work address in Mangawhai, Northland, we bring 35 years of business experience to help Kiwi SMEs in Northland and Auckland, across all sectors and scope. We get it, we have been there - lived the life of a business owner and deeply understand what business entails.

Working together, we bring a wider set of skills to your business than one advisor alone, call it the power of two-heads for the price of one!

To fuel profit and success, we can explore your operations and identify areas for growth or the roadblocks holding you back. Our end goal is to have every client feel more invigorated, confident and certain about their business, than when they first reached out for help. Brett’s background in business development and sales, and Michelle’s experience in start-ups, operations and efficiencies, means we leave no stone unturned. 

As a business owner, we respect that you seek insightful, but straight-talking advice, so expect honesty, optimism, clear action plans, and a little hard talk too – we can’t do this alone!

We’re also quick to recognise when your business would benefit from outside help, and we can line up the right people to help. We have gathered a proven network of experts that we trust to work alongside you to succeed. It’s all about creating a winning business, together.
