Practical support for business owners across the Surf Coast, Geelong and Bellarine


Build a stronger business, with clearer direction, better structure and less weight sitting on your shoulders
Running a business can be rewarding. It can also be super hard.
We work with business owners to bring clearer thinking, stronger structure and practical momentum.
What we help with
Every business is different, but the themes are often similar.
Strengthen customer growth
Improve how leads are handled, how customers are followed up, and how more value is created from the work already being won.
Set the plan
Build a practical plan for where the business is going, what matters most, and what needs to happen next.
Think through roles, hiring, onboarding and accountability so the business is less dependent on the owner for everything.
Build the team
Making sense of the numbers
Understand what the numbers are really saying, where the pressure points sit, and what is driving performance.
Improve how the business runs
Bring more structure to systems, workflows and day-to-day operations so the business becomes easier to run.
Move key projects forward
Support specific priorities that need momentum, whether that is pricing, technology, reporting, recruitment or change.
Our Process
Surf Coast Advisory is led by Adam Lane, an Anglesea local, husband to Ness, and dad to two boys.
We live here, we work here, and we care deeply about the businesses and people that make up this part of the world.
Adam has spent much of his career in banking and finance, followed by a 7 years leading and growing a medium-sized global business. That experience brings a strong commercial lens, but also a genuine appreciation for how difficult it is to run a business when the decisions, the pressure and the responsibility ultimately sit with you.
Surf Coast Advisory grew out of a simple idea — that local business owners should have access to clear, practical support when things feel unclear, stressful, or harder than they should be.
The work is grounded and personal. It’s about understanding what’s really going on in the business, helping make sense of it, and building a plan that actually works.
