For ownersEquity or fee consulting

Running the business, or is it running you?

We work inside your business on systems, marketing and hiring. Equity with no upfront cost, or a straightforward fee.

Sound like your week?

You

  • Revenue has plateaued, and nothing you've tried lately has moved it.
  • It all lives in your head, and nothing runs unless you're standing there.
  • Most of your week goes to whatever broke today, not your plan.

What you get with us

  • Equity or a fee, your call. Either way, you keep ownership of your business.
  • We work inside the business with you. Not a report, not a slide deck.
  • We stay until the changes actually work.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

  1. Step 1: Book a call

    We look at where your time goes and what's bottlenecking the business. No pitch, no obligation.

  2. Step 2: The discovery

    If it's a fit, you choose: a minority equity stake with no upfront cost, or a straightforward fee.

  3. Step 3: We get to work

    Systems first, then marketing, then hiring. We implement it with you.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

What does the partnership actually look like?

You keep ownership of your business either way. We take a minority equity stake with no upfront cost, or work for a straightforward consulting fee, and we work inside the business alongside you and your team.

What do you change first?

Almost always systems. If the day to day still runs manually, that gets fixed first. Then marketing and new customers, then the team.

What is business consulting for equity?

Instead of paying a consulting fee upfront, you give us a minority equity stake and we work inside the business with you. If the business does better, so do we. A straightforward fee is also an option.

Why equity?

If you choose equity, we only win when the business does better, so we have no reason to do a half job. If you choose a fee, the work is just as real.

Do I have to decide anything on the first call?

No. It's a conversation about your business. If we don't see a real path, we'll tell you on the call.
