We work with you for 90 days to see how your business really runs, remove the constraints and bottlenecks holding back your next level of growth, and build the plan for what comes next: more profit, a higher multiple, a business worth considerably more. By day 90, the plan is agreed, the first fixes are in, and you know exactly what working with us looks like.
Book a 90-day sprint callEvery business has one constraint doing more damage than the rest. We find it in the first two weeks, and removing it becomes the focus of the 90-day sprint. The usual suspects are:
New business still depends on the owner's relationships and referrals. One or two customers make up too much of the revenue. There's no engine and no pipeline you can see.
Cash is tight even when the business is busy. Growth is held back by working capital, the wrong funding, or nobody watching the numbers closely enough.
Decisions are made on instinct because the numbers arrive late, or not at all. Year end is the first time anyone knows how the business really did.
Work is done the way each person prefers, and it only runs properly when the owner is watching. Too much knowledge lives in people's heads.
Margin leaks through quoting, purchasing, scope creep and unreliable suppliers. Jobs are won, then made less profitable in the doing.
Everything routes through one person. The team escalates rather than decides, and the business can only grow as fast as the owner has capacity for.
BOOK A CALL and we'll work out which of these is yours. That's the trigger, and it becomes the first thing we fix.
If the plan is right and we work well together, it continues as a Growth Partnership: same people, now fully executing on the plan. If it isn't right, you keep the plan and the fixes, and we part as friends.
