Scale Beyond Founder Dependence
I help service business owners remove growth friction and rebuild the structure required to scale.
I help service business owners remove growth friction and rebuild the structure required to scale.
Built and operated inside billion-pound commercial environments.
Now working privately with growth-stage founders navigating scale.
• Generating £500k–£2m in revenue
• 3–15 employees
• Growth has stalled or become unpredictable
• You remain the operational bottleneck
• Sales fluctuate month to month
• Profit does not reflect revenue
• You cannot step away without things slowing down
Most service businesses scale quickly to £1m.
Then growth plateaus. Pressure increases. Complexity compounds.
- Every key decision routes through you
- Team output varies wildly
- Revenue spikes and dips
- Margins leak quietly
- You are working harder than ever
You did not build a business to become its most overworked employee.
A structured, one-to-one commercial reset designed to move your business from reactive growth to controlled scale.
Over six months we focus on:
- Revenue architecture and sales consistency
- Margin correction and pricing discipline
- Founder role redesign
- Leadership structure and delegation
- 12-month strategic roadmap
- Decision filters to eliminate operational chaos
