This is for owners building an asset. Not a lifestyle.

The hard question

Would someone pay you a life-changing sum for your business tomorrow, with you walking away?

If the honest answer is no, you don't own an asset yet. You own a well-paid, high-stress job. That's not an insult. It's the starting point for almost every owner we work with.

A high-stress job that pays £300k a year is still a job. It just has a nicer prison.

This is for you if…

• ◆You run a profitable business with EBITDA of £500k to £1m (typically £1m–£10m turnover).
• ◆You're ambitious and building an asset, not a lifestyle.
• ◆You want to exit in 3–5 years for £20m or more.
• ◆You know organic growth alone won't get you there.
• ◆You're open to acquisitions but have never built an in-house deal team.
• ◆You want experienced partners in the trenches. Not another consultant with a report.

This is not for you if…

Straight talk saves us both time.

• ◆You want a lifestyle business and you're happy with it. Good. Keep it.
• ◆You want to sell next quarter. Too late for this. Building real value takes a few years.
• ◆You think a strategy deck fixes things. It doesn't. Work does.
• ◆You can't let go. If the business must run through you forever, it can't be sold well.

Why the size sweet spot matters

Businesses your size are underserved. You're too big to wing it and too small for the corporate finance firms. They don't properly engage until you're well past £1m EBITDA. So you're left doing the most valuable work of your life with the least help.

That gap is exactly where we work.
