The Caravan Guys

Project Story

The Caravan Guys started as a one-branch business, and has since grown into a successful multi-location company providing insurance, repairs, servicing, renovations and vans for hire. Achieving sustainable growth was possible with the assistance of Beyond Advisors business planning, tax structuring and regular performance reviews.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the entire travel industry, but with Beyond Advisor’s assistance with JobKeeper administration, critical business planning, and evaluation of new opportunities, the company is on the road to recovery and long-term sustainability.

Challenge

Owner Jarrod Wade first approached Beyond Advisors for assistance with due diligence and ATO obligations when setting up his business, The Caravan Guys. As revenue increased and Jarrod diversified his services, the relationship grew to include quarterly business planning and management check-ins to ensure Jarrod’s vision aligned with sustainable growth plans. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on the entire industry. “We were hugely affected,” Jarrod says. “Customers stopped ringing when the borders closed. Then social distancing set in and people couldn’t travel.” Jarrod had to rethink his plans to minimise losses, and maximise opportunities to keep the business afloat.

Solutions

Beyond Advisors director Brandon Venske was one of the first people to phone after the lockdown was announced. Jarrod decided to reduce hours and remain open within the parameters of JobKeeper, with Beyond Advisors providing JobKeeper administration and reporting, as well as advice on how to adjust staff and set new targets. “We managed to stay above the line and keep the business open with everyone employed, albeit on reduced hours for six weeks,” says Jarrod.
