Who are The Interventionists?
The Interventionists are a group of highly skilled and experienced professionals led by our founder and principal consultant. We are available to established, medium to large companies across all industries to provide interventionist services. We have decades of corporate and entrepreneurial backgrounds.
Ours is a flexible, dynamic network of very experienced and knowledgeable business people. We are able to hone in on problem areas with incredible precision, accuracy and speed, after which we then also formulate proposed remedial actions which you can implement yourselves or let us manage the change process for you.
As the name indicates, we offer short and crisp engagements designed to maximise the value to your company with minimal disruption to your business, whereby we identify and help with operationalising positive and value-enhancing interventions.
Our focus is on helping to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your business by identifying those areas where you could make the biggest (and often fastest) improvements and realise tangible value.
We specialise in business turnarounds (especially complex and urgent ones), sell-side business brokering and executive business coaching.
Our interventions do not tend to be long term but rather designed to have as much impact in as short a possible time frame possible.
OUR 3 CORE SERVICES
From Business Brokering and Business Strategy to Business Coaching, our interventions for your business will assist with operationalising positive and value-enhancing interventions.
Business Brokers (Exits, M&A's etc.)
Any business, whether successful or less so, from time to time requires new investors or finds new owners. Our process for sourcing buyers or capital is highly specialised, personalised, discreet, and targeted. So much so that we don’t follow the norm in posting business for sale on various websites and wait for buyers, but instead follow a rigorous individualised search for interested parties to engage with.

Our Customers Words
Service: M&A brokerage & advisory, Strategy & Coaching
“At first I was nervous to have Chris see the bare bones of my companies which I started from scratch 11 years ago. But the time for guidance and intervention had come! I started 2024 wanting to run away, as the stress was piling on, but thanks to The Interventionists I have ended the year much stronger, with a much improved business, better management skills and a better work life balance. I truly feel I have now stepped up into the proper CEO role. Chris’ guidance and coaching was down to earth and extremely helpful and instrumental.”
Service: Coaching & Advisory
“When I googled and found Interventionists a few months ago on the web, I just knew that a drastic change was to take place. I can certainly say that Chris really made a huge impact in my life, personally as well as in my business. When I had no confidence or stamina he revived me. The service he renders is outstanding; from his punctuality to his knowledge, wisdom and experience. The assistance with my contracts, emails and any paper work just took such a load off my shoulders. I can confidently approach my clients knowing that I have direction and a strong grounded stance.
Chris comes across as a devoted, stern, head strong business partner who would wither the storm come what may.  Thank you for the support, encouragement and to the point sound advice. I certainly feel successful and know that I have found a true gem in Chris and The Interventionists. I hope that we will continue to have a long lasting business relationship and as I continue with you, that you will proudly accept the honour and recognition that stems from the growth of EBG Group.”
Service: M&A, Coaching & Advisory
I can see the impact which Chris has had on important decisions I had to make in my business. He is professional and always consistent and fast with feedback on questions I have. His passion for business and experience is vital in my day to day business operations and his dogged competitive nature to win for his clients is evident. I recently sold a business and his knowledge of commercial law, negotiations and the structuring of my sale agreement increased the sales price and decreased the risk I had to take. I could tap into his fast business network to get advice and input on key issues from time to time. I will recommend Chris to anyone that wants to win in business.”
Service: M&A Advisory
“I had approached The Interventionists to assist me in formalizing an exit strategy for my business. Being a sensitive and emotional issue, I appreciated the unique perspective that Chris provided, resulting in a deliverable that will benefit both the business and myself with the minimum of risk involved. I am happy to recommend the services of The Interventionist”.

Service: Advisory & Dispute Mediation
“At the time, my business partner and I were clashing heads quite often. With the involvement of The Interventionists, which was done in a private & confidential manner, it became very clear how to fix the core challenges, after having received a detailed report and a couple of calls, with both parties. Further to this, we were given solutions on how to resolve our differences. We got a no-nonsense service and were very objective and to the point. We also got follow-ups, to check in and see how everything was going. I would recommend their services! “
Service: Strategy review & Advisory
“The services rendered by the Interventionist to ourselves were greatly empowering in terms the strategies and activities needed in order to grow our firm. Chris took time even before his appointment to understand our business, our people and our processes so as to provide us with a sound business development strategy from a branding awareness perspective. Each of the recommendations provided in his final report accurately addressed the activities needed to be undertaken so as to grow our business. He remained dedicated at all times, and proceeded to give us advise even after he had completed his mandate. ”
