Do you have days where you wish you could parachute more senior-level help into your business?
That's where our fractional leadership service comes in. We partner with businesses like yours, providing experienced, director-level leadership to drive meaningful change or just get you through a challenging period. Unlike traditional consultancy or coaching, we don’t just advise from the sidelines. We roll up our sleeves, integrate into your team, and work alongside you to achieve the results you want.
A proven leader, right when you need them... for as long as you need them
Our fractional leadership service is designed to be hands-on and results-driven. By tapping into the expertise of a seasoned SME leader, you gain access to the insights, tools, and strategies typically reserved for large corporations—without the commitment of a full-time hire.
Whether your goal is streamlining operations, scaling for growth, implementing strategic change, or just maintaining your daily operations, we bring a fresh perspective and proven track record to your business.
Why now could be the best time to sell your business
Selling now could save you tens of thousands in tax payments
"Double" inheritance tax
Proposed inheritance tax changes could significantly increase costs for family business owners, resulting in tax bills that could run into the millions.
Save up to £80k on tax
When you sell your business you pay tax on the profits of the sale. These tax rates are set to increase significantly from April 2025. sdsfsdsfsfs
No matter the industry or department, our tried and tested approach to leading businesses centres on four key principles
-
Direction & strategy
What are you trying to achieve? Why? When? How? We can help you define a clear strategic direction and the strategy for how to achieve it. We also work with businesses that already have a clear direction but have strayed off course, to get back to their North Star.
-
Structure & incentives
A clear organisational structure and well-aligned incentives act as a supercharger to your business. The alternate acts as an anchor. We work with you to establish the right roles, responsibilities, and rewards to motivate your team and achieve your goals.
-
Systems - not processes
We help you develop robust systems that work seamlessly across your organisation. This goes beyond refining processes—it’s about creating scalable frameworks that ensure consistency, efficiency, and adaptability as your business grows.
-
People & management
Your business is as good as your people. We focus on enhancing management structures, fostering leadership at every level, and ensuring your team is equipped to drive your business forward.
Some of our experience acquiring and running SME's...
Acquired from retiring founder, after 35 years of leadership. All customers and staff remained with the business, including members of the seller's family. Sale included the distributor's warehouse. Deferred consideration was also paid off one year earlier than contractually required.
On recommendation of a seller from another of our acquisitions, this small but specialist supplier with a trusted reputation in the industry reached out to complete a quick sale for health reasons. Initial conversation to completion took just two months. Sale included all assets and stock on an as seen basis.
Designing, manufacturing and selling direct to businesses, this company was also acquired from a founder who wished to retire. One year in, not only has revenue been grown responsibly, and a new product line soon to come to market, but employee engagement is at an all time high.
