Your business doesn't have to be failing before it needs attention.
A business can be growing, making money, creating real opportunity here in Lagos, and still be getting harder to run. The numbers aren't clear enough. Processes haven't kept up. Too many decisions still land on one or two people. The business grew. The way it runs didn't grow with it.
I’ve read businesses from the outside, as a banker deciding who deserved capital and who was quietly heading for trouble. Now I sit inside them. As an embedded COO, I’m involved in both the diagnosis and the work of fixing it. I've taken a business to 87% higher sales volume and more than double the revenue, rebuilding the sales machine and the people running it.
Who we are
I’m a chartered accountant (FCCA), with an MBA and a CBAP, but the credentials are only part of the story. I’ve done the actual work inside Lagos businesses, under uncertainty, where a policy swing or a supply delay can undo a quarter’s planning in a week. Trivet is built on practical experience, not theory borrowed from a case study.
Understand the business. Work out what matters. Do the work properly. Leave the business stronger.
Trivet is a business-building firm. We help business owners build stronger businesses from the inside out by getting their numbers under control, improving how work gets done, testing an opportunity, preparing for change, or seeing an important plan through.
Why Trivet exists
Because good businesses can still be difficult to run.
The businesses that got into real trouble weren’t usually the ones that looked troubled. They were the ones growing fast enough that nobody had time to notice the cracks. Good revenue. Real customers. And underneath it, decisions still running through one person, numbers telling half the story, and a structure built for a business half the size it had become.
Those are moments worth paying attention to.
What we believe
The problem you can see is rarely the whole problem.
Good advice means nothing if it doesn't get implemented.
Every business is different, so the answer should be too.
Numbers matter, but they're not the whole story.
Sustainable change comes from the inside.
And the truth is worth more than comfort.
Who we work with
We work best with owners who would rather hear the truth than a comfortable version of it.
Usually, they are growing businesses whose problems have become bigger than the structures that got them here.
People who want to understand what's actually happening in their business, not just be told it'll be fine.
