Business Advisory in Wollongong
Unveil Development Partners is a business advisory firm based at iAccelerate on the Innovation Campus in North Wollongong. We systemise businesses that can’t run without the owner.
We find the gaps that keep everything tied to one person, then close them one at a time with you and your team.
Based in the Illawarra
Our office is at iAccelerate, the University of Wollongong’s business incubator on the Innovation Campus. It’s where we build our own technology, including the SPECS diagnostic every engagement starts with.
We’re working with owner-run businesses across Wollongong and the Illawarra right now, from law firms to skilled trades. We meet owners at their business, at iAccelerate, or wherever the work is.
Strategy, People and Systems
Where You’re Going
Your vision and five year direction, turned into a one year plan with targets your whole team can see.
Who’s Going with You
Values, leadership and coaching, so your people make the calls that currently land on your desk.
How It Runs Without You
Processes, job flow, forecasting and onboarding built into one place your team can run.
Who We Work With in Wollongong
Owner-run Illawarra businesses built around a specialty: law firms, accountants, HR providers, consultants and skilled trades. Other industries are welcome too.
- A team of at least five
- Too much sits with the owner and the business feels it
- Already profitable and ready to invest in growth
- An owner who is hungry and looking at the horizon
How It Works
Every engagement starts with the diagnostic, so we can properly measure where you are. From there, every business is different, but the core rhythm that we know works typically stays the same.
Measure: where you are now

Complimentary Diagnostic
Online and quick. It scores your business across Strategy, People, Execution, Capital and Structure, and shows you where the gaps sit.

02
Full Diagnostic and Roadmap
A detailed business audit and sessions with our senior team, to measure exactly where you are. We map how your week really runs, set where the business is going, and hand you a roadmap with the priorities in order. From here, you have a clear vision of the next 1, 3, 5 and 10 years.
Implement: built into the business

Implementation
This is where the real action begins. Owners and key leaders agree on an aligned plan: yearly goals, 90 day targets, a meeting rhythm and a clear map of who does what. This is digitised into a living system (Lumia), so the plan never gets forgotten again. What is Lumia?

Systems Build
You and your team build the roles, processes and numbers, with us alongside to make sure it is done right the first time. We keep focus on the areas your diagnostic revealed as having the most leverage and impact for you and your situation, not a generic, off-the-shelf process.

Your leadership team runs it and you step back into oversight. We rerun the audit against day one, and everything we built together stays yours.

This takes most owners about 5 minutes.

Local Questions
Do you meet in person in Wollongong?
Yes. We’re based at iAccelerate on the Innovation Campus and meet owners at their business, at our office, or online.
Do you only work with Illawarra businesses?
No. Our office is in Wollongong and we have partners in Sydney and Perth, so we work with owner-run businesses across Australia.
How is this different from my accountant’s advisory service?
Your accountant looks after tax and compliance. We work on what sits around your numbers: direction, leadership and the systems that let the business run without you. We work well alongside your accountant.
