Who we help

The same method, three very different starting points.

What breaks first depends on the stage you are at. Find the description that sounds like your business, and see the route we would expect to take.

Founder-led businesses

Owner-managed businesses turning over roughly £2m–£8m, usually with a small leadership team that reports directly to the founder.

£2m–£8m turnover
Founder still in the detail daily
First layer of management forming
Profit known, margin by line not known

What we would do

Scale-ups

Businesses turning over roughly £5m–£25m growing 20%+ a year, with a leadership team in place but stretched.

£5m–£25m turnover
20%+ annual growth
Leadership team in place, gaps visible
Cash conversion lagging revenue

What we would do

Investor-backed businesses

Investor and PE-backed businesses

Portfolio businesses and investor-backed groups working to a value creation plan with defined reporting obligations.

Board and investor reporting in place
Value creation plan with milestones
Post-deal integration or buy-and-build
Exit horizon inside three to five years
