Business
consulting. Custom
software.

I help owners and leaders of small and mid-sized businesses work out what needs to change. When the fix needs software, I build it: custom apps, mini ERPs and automations.

Let's talkSee how it works

Miha MatlievskiBuilt a $15M portfolio, lost it all, and learned what actually matters in business.

Four orders in four places. The question lands on you.

Sound familiar?

Every decision comes back to you.

People are busy, but nobody is clear on who owns what. You're the bottleneck, and you're tired of being the answer to every question.

Orders live in spreadsheets.

Updates disappear into chats. Someone writes it on paper, then someone else types it in again. The software you pay for doesn't fit how the work happens.

You're the only person with the full picture.

If you step away, the work slows down or stops.

I help you work out what needs to change: responsibilities, decisions, processes or tools. When the fix needs software, I build it.

How it works

See the full process →

  1. Discovery

    Paid, 1–2 weeks: I talk with you, your leaders and the people doing the work, and map how work runs today.

  2. Proposal

    A written plan of what to simplify, change and build, with a fixed scope and price.

  3. Build and deploy

    I build the system around how your business works and roll it out with your team.

  4. Stay involved

    I stay involved with troubleshooting, improvements and ongoing advice.

What I build

Information entered once. Clear handoffs. Numbers you can trust. Systems built around how each business works.

Silla · Furniture retailer selling online

Webshop orders flow into one shared record of every order, connected to the warehouse and shipping, replacing a set of spreadsheets.

Mock-up of the Silla app dashboard

  • Wholesale bakery

    Orders come into one place. The system adds up the day's baking totals, breaks them down per customer for packing and prints the production sheets.

  • Used-phone buyback and resale

    Pricing and buying phones, tracking every device through refurbishment to sale, reservations, sales documents and the daily report.

  • Fence manufacturer and installer

    Customer records, quotes, project phases, materials and purchasing, production and installation orders, and payment tracking in one system.

  • Garment manufacturer

    Enquiries and quotes, technical work orders, materials, scheduling across departments, production quantities and time, and profitability per job.

  • Programmes, retreats and an online shop

    Receipts and bank records collected, reviewed and reconciled into one shared ledger across currencies, with reports for the owner.

Born from real failure.

$0$15M portfolio$5M in debtfour businesses failed at oncethe recovery took yearsFail Coach

Miha built a portfolio of businesses worth $15 million. Then lost it all and ended up $5 million in debt. Four businesses failed at the same time. The recovery took years.

Through that, he learned what actually matters in business: not the strategies you read in books, but the real work of leadership, resilience and building something that lasts.

Fail Coach exists because Miha wished he had someone like this when he needed it most.
