OUR SERVICES
How we help you build, scale, and exit
Three service lines. One shared philosophy: real operational experience, deployed at the moments that matter most to your business.
Exit stategy & MEA advisory
Securing the exit outcome you deserve
Selling your business isn’t a single transaction. It’s a complex journey that touches every part of your company, from your management structure and financial systems to your strategic positioning and eventual buyer negotiations.
Most advisors offer you a narrow slice of this work, appearing only when you’re ready to sell. We are different: we deliver the complete, end-to-end partnership required to secure your success.
What we deliver:
Pre-transaction transformation
Twelve to 18 months of hands-on operational work that builds genuine value. Systematically addressing owner dependency, strengthening management capability, creating institutional-grade financial reporting that withstands buyer scrutiny. This isn’t cosmetic preparation. It’s fundamental.
Strategic buyer identification
No mass marketing campaigns. Direct engagement with the right buyers through our network and industry knowledge. We identify strategic and financial buyers who’ll actually value what you’ve built and pay accordingly.
Expert negotiation and deal structuring
High-stakes negotiations require protection of your interests at every turn. Deal structures that balance risk, maximise proceeds, and ensure terms are commercially sound – not just legally compliant.
Confidential process management
Absolute discretion throughout. The entire process is managed to protect your relationships with employees, customers, and suppliers until the appropriate moment for disclosure.
Post-completion accountability
Where appropriate, we stay involved as a Non-Executive Director. Promises get kept. Earnouts get protected. Integration proceeds as agreed.
The benefit for you:
You enter the market with a business that commands premium valuations, not distressed pricing. Buyers have confidence in what they’re acquiring because the operational strength is genuine, not cosmetic. And because we stay involved after completion, you’re not navigating the most critical period alone.
This is the difference between simply selling your business and securing the outcome that protects your financial future and preserves your legacy.
Phase one:
The exploratory call
Understanding
your situation
Every successful exit begins with clarity. In this initial, confidential conversation, we take the time to understand your business, your personal goals, and the specific challenges you’re facing.
Assessing the
opportunity
We’ll give you our honest, operator-to-operator view on where your business stands today, what work may be required to maximise your outcome, and the realistic timeline for achieving your goals. If a significant transformation is needed, we’ll be direct about it.
Defining the
roadmap
If there’s a strong fit, we’ll outline a clear, pragmatic pathway forward and discuss how we can work together, whether that’s as an advisor, Non-Executive Director, or in another formal capacity to determine if an extended partnership makes sense for both parties.
The benefit for you:
Complete transparency from the outset. No sales pressure, no jargon - just straight, commercially-focused advice from someone who has walked in your shoes. You'll know exactly what's required and how long it will realistically take.
Phase two:
Sale readiness and value enhancement
De-risking your
operations
Reducing owner dependency, building a capable second-tier management team, systematising your core processes – this isn’t window dressing. It’s a genuine operational transformation that makes your business a commercially attractive asset.
Strengthening your
financials
Institutional-grade financial models and a comprehensive ‘data room’ designed to withstand the scrutiny of sophisticated buyers. When due diligence begins, you’ll be ready.
Building a premium
asset
This extended transformation period converts your company from an owner-centric operation into a scalable, transferable asset that meets the market’s demand for high-quality businesses.
The benefit for you:
You enter the market from a position of unparalleled strength, significantly increasing both the probability of a successful sale and the final valuation you achieve. And because we've invested the time to build genuine operational strength, buyers have confidence the business will perform without you.
Phase three:
Transaction execution and beyond
Managing the
entire process
We lead the high-stakes negotiations and project-manage the intensive due diligence phase right through to completion.
Securing the
optimal outcome
With proven expertise from multiple successful transactions, we navigate the complexities to protect your interests and deliver a result that secures your future.
Remaining involved
post-transaction
Our commitment doesn’t end at completion. Where appropriate, we remain engaged for 12 to 18 months after the deal closes as a part-time Non-Executive Director.
The benefit for you:
A smooth, confidential process managed by a single, trusted expert who's relentlessly focused on protecting your interests and delivering the best possible outcome. And unlike traditional advisors who disappear after completion, we stay involved to ensure promises are kept and value is realised.
Startups & growth advisory
Building businesses that are exit-ready from day one
Not every engagement is about selling a business. Sometimes it’s about building one the right way from the start.
We work with ambitious founders and early-stage businesses to establish the operational foundations, strategic positioning, and financial discipline that create genuine enterprise value. This isn’t generic startup advice. It’s operator-to-operator guidance from someone who’s built, scaled, and successfully exited businesses.
What we deliver:
Strategic clarity and positioning
Defining a compelling market position isn’t about marketing fluff. It’s the commercial foundation that determines your growth trajectory. Your value proposition needs to attract the right customers, partners, and eventual investors or acquirers. We help you articulate that clearly.
Operational infrastructure that scales
Growing without chaos requires proper foundations. Systems, processes, structures that let you scale – from financial controls to operational workflows. Building the discipline now that prevents costly restructuring later.
Team and leadership development
Your management structure shouldn’t have you as the bottleneck. Strategic recruiting, proper delegation, and accountability without micromanagement. Building a team that can operate effectively without you is essential.
Financial modelling and planning
Institutional-grade financial models aren’t just for big companies. Planning frameworks that give you visibility, control, and credibility with stakeholders. When you eventually seek investment or exit, you’ll be ready.
Investor and M&A readiness
Even if exit is years away, structure your business to be attractive when the time comes. Governance, cap tables, contracts, documentation – thinking about these from the beginning saves enormous headaches later.
The benefit for you:
You avoid the costly and time-consuming restructuring work that most businesses face when they’re finally ready to scale or exit. You’re building something genuinely valuable from day one, with the operational discipline and strategic clarity that commands premium valuations.
Operational transformation
Driving market expansion, EBITDA growth, and high-performance teams
Sometimes the challenge isn’t starting a business or exiting one. It’s unlocking the next level of performance from what you’ve already built.
We work with established businesses to drive transformational improvements in profitability, market position, and operational capability. This is hands-on, embedded advisory work focused on execution, not strategy documents that gather dust.
What we deliver:
Market expansion and revenue growth
Real growth opportunities need to be found and executed on. New markets. New service lines. Strategic partnerships. Potential acquisitions. We do the rigorous commercial analysis, then work with you to implement with discipline. Not PowerPoint strategies that never happen.
EBITDA enhancement and margin improvement
Every percentage point matters to your bottom line. We find and capture operational efficiency gains, pricing optimisations, cost reductions. The kind that actually flow through to EBITDA and create material value. It’s systematic work, but it pays off.
Organisational capability and team performance
High-performance teams don’t just happen. You need strong leadership, a culture that executes, and the right people in the right roles. We help recruit key talent, restructure what’s not working, and create accountability that drives results without becoming bureaucratic.
Strategic planning and execution
A plan sitting in a drawer does nothing. We develop clear, actionable strategies and then actually work alongside your team to make them happen. Pragmatic roadmaps. Defined milestones. Clear ownership. Proper measurement.
Preparation for investment or acquisition
If you’re seeking growth capital or thinking about an eventual exit, you’ll need to demonstrate operational strength, solid financials, and a credible growth story. We make sure you’re ready when sophisticated investors start asking hard questions.
The benefit for you:
Material improvements in enterprise value, operational performance, and strategic positioning. You get an experienced operator embedded in your business, making the hard calls and driving execution alongside your team – not an external consultant delivering reports.
