With 20+ years of servicing business owners in the SME market, helping them build through coaching, training, developing, consulting, and mentoring we have learned two key things:
#1 Business owners know what they’re doing. Whether you’re an architect, a technologist, or a brand agency, in your industry you have the ambition and skills to work for yourself. We honour this and see you as the expert you are.
#2 Many owners are very good at what they do but have not been trained on how to run a business before. As the owner, you know the potential of what you’re building and, as a result, are full of enthusiasm, hope and drive. But running against this is the feeling of not having enough time and resources. Administrative processes need to get done. Finding more customers, skilled staff, the right suppliers can all present challenges that slow you down and take away from what you’re greatest at... and delegation is often not an option.
So, leveraging our knowledge and experience from asset management, building businesses, selling companies, and working with founders like you, we have distilled the fundamentals into 12-weeks that gives founders a platform to jump over the incremental hurdles that slow growth and realise their potential quicker.
Over the past 20 years we’ve tried a variety of things to help businesses realise their growth:
- Spent a day with them each month to train the owners and their teams.
- Condensed this to mornings and afternoons twice a month.
- Put them in a room for two days and try and teach them everything at once.
But no matter the model, what we have learned is that the greatest shifts occur after an intensive period of time together.
Business owners want long-term results. So do we.
We know that time is a precious resource for founders. So the programme is half a day for 12-weeks so that it is intensive but enables founders to continue to work in their business as well as on it.
We also know that 12-weeks is the minimum requirement to create the shift you need. We know if it’s over six months, that’s too long for businessowners to see the results they want. So, it has to be 12-weeks to transform your business.
That’s time out of your business that saves you years getting lost, dragged into revenue slumps, and ‘managing stress’. Investment now means building an impactful business that works with your lifestyle; one that will look, feel, and taste like the one you set out to create.
In 12-weeks you will gain the knowledge, confidence, and contacts that takes others 5 years to build. You don't learn to do this on your own.
That’s why it’s 12-weeks with us.
A sample of the programme can be viewed and downloaded here. The programme is open to changing depending on the needs of the founders and partners we have in each group going through the 12-weeks.
For businesses under £1.2 million in revenue, the most effective way to work is in small groups of 3 to 6. Founders have to build relationships, learn about each others' businesses, and act as challengers, collaborators, and champions to effectively support each other’s progress through the programme.
This is important because founders often liken their business to their baby; they want it to develop and succeed.
Just like parenting, it takes a team of people to grow a business and sometimes that's people working in the business and sometimes it's suppliers and partners outside of the business. It's the 'village' it takes to grow successfully.
On the programme we save time and energy by wrapping the optimal people around you so you're not spending inordinate amounts of time trying to find them.
We jump online and connect in-person throughout the programme and provide weekly group calls and check-ins to provide optimal support.
As a founders you will already have a network you can invite to this programme. We ask that these are also founders or self-employed people that are able to contribute and get the most from the programme. Going through the programme together means you will be better positioned to support each other. The better they are, the better you are.
Meetings will take place in a variety of venues - online, partners offices, hotel conference rooms, client offices. This enables relationships to become truly embedded and provide the support founders need. Connection is key to jumping forward in business.
Every session is designed to be impactful and founders will walk away with key thoughts and learnings that unlock growth. The vast majority of founders get ROI before the full 12-weeks. Based on experience, we expect ROI to occur within the first 4-weeks. By then founders will be implementing changes that drive customer acquisition and convert opportunities. This should more than pay for the cost of the programme.
After 12-weeks, we have the jump. You will have built the springboard and have the option of connecting with us one day a month, with the founders in your cohort continuing to support you, for the next 9-months. We help you implement everything you learned and built - It all comes into play, and in 12-months from now.... you're in a completely different business.
The price is £137.50 per session paid as a monthly fee of £550/month over 3-months.
The next 12-week course starts on w/c 11th January 2027 in South West London. Details are provided on enquiry.
