Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sports industry faced significant challenges, and we at Deploy were no exception. When we first connected with Metis Consulting, we had just emerged from a difficult period where our sales had dwindled, and we were primarily selling football balls to schools and football clubs. The cancellations of training sessions and games left us struggling to engage our market effectively.
Initially, we sought help from Metis for bookkeeping support, but it quickly became clear that we needed more comprehensive assistance. The team at Metis Consulting recognized our challenges and guided us through the process of securing funding. Thanks to their expertise and support, we successfully obtained a $400,000 financing package from NAB. This funding was a game changer for us, allowing us to diversify our product offerings beyond just soccer balls to include a range of sports apparel.
With Metis’s guidance, we established valuable connections with suppliers in Asia, particularly in Thailand, for both clothing and materials for our football balls. The strong partnership we developed with Metis as our business advisor and accountant was instrumental in making us “borrower ready,” ensuring we had the right financial structure in place.
The results have been nothing short of remarkable. Our sales have surged from $1.5 million to between $3 and $4 million,
and we are now on track to reach around $5-6 million this year. This turnaround has redefined our business, providing us
with improved cash flow and positioning us for continued growth into 2024 and 2025.
Working with Metis Consulting has been a transformative experience for us. They didn’t just help us navigate our
immediate challenges; they helped us build a sustainable future. This journey truly exemplifies what it means to partner
with Metis—they stand by you, navigating challenges together and fostering lasting growth.
Thank you, Metis Consulting, for being an integral part of our success!
