Fixed-scope business audit
Pick the one that sounds like yours.
Fit: trading businesses with real revenue history — not pre-revenue ideas. We introduce you to capital only after the checklist is clear.
Talk about fundingFit: service businesses on feast-or-famine cycles, where every good quarter traces back to how hard the founder pushed.
Fix my funnelFit: plants with an operating history, where the line runs but the margin doesn't reach the bottom of the P&L.
Audit my plantFeast one month, famine the next isn't bad luck — it's the absence of a system. Here's the whole engine we build, in three diagrams.
Before we touch acquisition or pricing: what exactly are you selling, and to whom. Neither end is automatically right — not choosing is. Drag the marker.
We don't preach niching down. Where you sit decides your pricing, message, ideal client and team structure — get it wrong and every system built after it optimises the wrong business.
Acquisition and sales first, then margin and value, then the systems that hold it. Tap any lever.
The audit decides which levers matter most for your business. You are never sold all six by default.
Every lever above only compounds if it survives you taking a week off.
A money-making machine that runs itself.
