Triangle Safety Consulting: Turning Momentum into a Long-Term Strategy

Triangle Safety Consulting LLC is a certified woman-owned safety consulting firm based in Greenville, South Carolina. Founded in 2020 by Brandy Zadoorian, the company helps small to medium-sized manufacturing facilities improve OSHA compliance, reduce workplace risk, and minimize injuries through on-site safety audits, inspections, assessments, and customized safety training. Clients include Caterpillar, Colgate Palmolive, and GE Vernova.

Brandy named the company as a tribute to the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, a sobering reminder of what happens when workplace safety is deprioritized. That founding story is at the core of everything Triangle Safety Consulting® LLC does.

Getting Strategic About a Growing Business

• A diverse and expanding service portfolio created a need for clearer direction around which offerings to prioritize, given that different services varied widely in profitability and time required.

• Without a multi-year financial model, it was difficult to evaluate tradeoffs between service lines, staffing scenarios, and longer-term planning decisions like company size and an eventual exit.

• Administrative work had grown alongside the business, creating tension between time spent on operations and time available for high-value consulting and bringing on new clients.

• Revenue was tied entirely to active billable hours, with no passive income component to smooth out cash flow or create financial stability during slower periods.

  
  

Building the Financial and Strategic Foundation to Move Forward with Confidence

• Through TAP's Deep Dive program (Sep 2025 – Feb 2026), a flexible revenue and labor forecasting model was built to analyze service mix, staffing, and profitability across multiple scenarios.

• Worked with Brandy to map out her 3 to 5 year goals, resulting in a clear and confident decision to maintain current company size and defer exit planning, removing complexity that was not yet necessary.

• Identified retainer clients and custom training as the highest-margin service lines and prioritized them as the primary levers for growth.

• Developed a recommendation to white-label on-demand OSHA 10 and 30 training, creating a path to scalable passive income without the regulatory burden of building a proprietary platform.

  
  

Results: Revenue Nearly Doubled and a Clear Path Ahead

• Revenue grew from $150K in 2023 to $296K in 2024, to $343K in 2025, with 2026 projected at $375K using the new forecasting model.

• Gained clear visibility into profitability across service lines for the first time, enabling confident decisions about where to focus time and resources.

• Secured a key strategic decision: maintain current scale and delay exit planning, freeing Brandy to focus on what she does best rather than solving problems not yet relevant to the business.

• Positioned to add a third retainer client, which TAP's model identified as the single highest-margin growth opportunity available.
