How We Do It

You don't need someone providing you information. You don't need to hire consultants. You need someone to roll up their sleeves and get in there with you... that someone needs to "know the way, go the way, and show the way". That's a growth partner.

We operate on a framework we've developed over the years that allows us to quickly understand a business by following a process that helps us and the business owner to become clear the objectives, needs, and constraints of the business and it's owner. This aligns us mutually.

From there we craft a PLAN and work together to execute on the plan.

We build trust, establish healthy debate, drive commitment, ignite peer-to-peer accountability, and a culture of achieving results.

We only work on projects that we are strongly convinced have potential to at least 5x the business we're working with. This is very challenging for businesses just starting out. This works best when a business has a team and has cleared the $1m annual revenue mark.

We know where the pit falls are. We know the M&A process. As acquirers of multiple businesses, even businesses over $3m, know what acquirers are looking for and how they get financing. This all matters, and plays a role in decisions you make in your business whether you actually sell or not.

Growth Strategy

Where are you now and where do you want to be?

Example:

a business doing $2.2M per year with a $900k EBITDA was already on solid ground.

They want to get the business over $10M in 5 years.

The 2 year target is to get the business over $4M in annual revenue with $1.6M EBITDA

The 1 year plan is to get the business over the $3M with $1.2M EBITDA

The challenge is the owner dependancy.

The growth strategy was to:

Remove Owner Dependency - To do that we set up Quarterly Rocks all designed to remove owner dependancy. This allowed us to create a pathway for taking on new employees without the owner needing to train them. It allowed us to Promote a key person to the GM role. We were able to support he new GM in hiring a new key employee to handle billable work the owner was doing.

With that phase complete, we turned to adding customer acquisition channels that do not require owner effort.
