## What the call is

20 minutes

Online or by phone, at a time that suits you.

A proper conversation

Where you want the business in three years, and what's in the way.

No pitch

If it's not a fit, I'll tell you. No obligation either way.

## Does any of this sound familiar?

Most owners I speak to aren't short of ambition. They're short of time, and the business still leans on them for almost everything.

- "Everything still runs through me."You can't step away for a week without things slowing down.
- "We've hit a ceiling."Growth has stalled and working harder isn't moving it.
- "I've been approached about buying a business."You want to know if you're ready, and what good looks like.
- "I'd like to sell one day."You want the business to be worth buying when that day comes.

I work with owner managed, service based businesses, usually turning over £500k to £2m, across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.

## Why owners work with me

I spent a decade in UK M&A before coaching. I know what makes a business valuable because I've looked at it from the buyer's side.

**10 years**in M&A at Gallagher and HSBC

**1,000+**businesses analysed

**12**premium clients at most, so every one gets proper attention

> "Hiring my first employee felt like quite a big step, and Joe helped me put a proper structure around the whole process. We worked through how to approach the recruitment and then pulled together the onboarding materials and plan for their first few days, so I felt much more prepared when they started. It's given me confidence to delegate more and a real sense of relief knowing I now have someone to help with the day-to-day work, giving me more time to focus on moving the business forward."

> "We went from a business that relied on me for almost everything to one that can operate without me being involved in every decision. The structure, accountability and perspective Joe brought helped me build a business that gives me freedom, not just a job."

Businesses only become more valuable when their owners do.
