Build the business that doesn't need you.
I help UK business owners hit the numbers, free up their time, and turn their business into something that runs without them — whether that ends in a sale, a succession, or just a Sunday off. Recent: $3M in 30 days for one client. $1M for another. 20+ systems shipped across the rest.
You don't need more advice. You need the work done.
Most consultants deliver a deck and a phone number. The work is yours to do alone. By the time you've translated the slides into action you've lost three months, the business has drifted, and you're back where you started — with a smaller bank account.
A typical consulting engagement
- ✗ You get a deck. The work is still yours to do.
- ✗ Paid by the hour. Bigger problems = bigger bills.
- ✗ Advice they've never had to act on themselves.
- ✗ Strategy talk, no Monday-morning answers.
- ✗ Gone when the doing gets hard.
Working with me
- ✓ I do the work that moves the numbers — campaigns, systems, hires.
- ✓ Aligned to your outcome, not to the clock.
- ✓ Operator background — built businesses to A$15.9M, managed 108 staff.
- ✓ Commercial strategy that ships, not just slides.
- ✓ Stays until the result is in.
What you actually get.
Every engagement is shaped around the outcome the business needs. These are the five most common shapes the work takes — and what you walk away with.
More revenue. Without working more.
Plateau-breaking commercial work. Offer architecture, pricing, sales process, retention — diagnosed and rebuilt around what actually moves the numbers. This is the approach that generated $3M in 30 days for Psychwire (above their previous annual record) and $1M for William Whitecloud. Not from a deck. From doing the work.
Your business runs without you in every room.
The systems, processes, and decision frameworks that let the business operate when you're not there. Buy back the evenings. Take a holiday without checking Slack.
A team that holds when you're not there.
Right hires, right roles, right accountability. Built using the frameworks that ran 108 staff across three countries.
Cash flow that compounds — not just survives.
Most business problems are cash flow problems wearing a disguise. Cleaner margins, better terms, smarter pricing. Money does more without you doing more.
A business that's actually sellable.
Reduced founder-dependency, documented operations, stronger EBITDA. Buyers pay for businesses that work without their owner. Sometimes that buyer turns out to be me.
You know what needs to happen. You just need it to actually happen.
This isn't for businesses that need another strategy document. It's for owners who can name the problem and want it solved — not deferred to Q4.
Revenue's stuck and you can't unstick it
The growth has plateaued. You've tried the obvious. You don't need another "focus on your ICP" — you need someone who can diagnose what's actually broken and fix it inside 90 days.
You're the bottleneck and you know it
Everything runs through you. You can't take a holiday. You can't think strategically because you're stuck operating. You want the business to keep running when you don't.
You're 1–3 years from selling
Buyers pay multiples for businesses that don't need their founder. The work to get there starts now. Sometimes that conversation leads to me being the buyer.
You want a partner, not a contractor
You want someone with skin in the game — paid to do the work, but earning more when the business wins. Not a brain-for-hire on a clock.
Simple structure. Built around your outcome.
Every engagement runs on the same model: management fee for the work, equity tied to the outcome. So I'm paid fairly for what I deliver — and we share the upside of what we build together.
Structure
Management fee + equity. The fee covers the work. The equity ties us to the outcome — we both win when the business does.
Scope
Defined outcomes, not defined hours. We agree what success looks like upfront and build toward it.
Duration
Typically 3–6 months. Extended where the build needs more time. Ends when the outcome is delivered.
Proof, not promises.
This isn't theoretical. Twelve years as an operator. Three countries. 500+ businesses worked with. The numbers below are real and verifiable.
What a client says
I've worked with a lot of agencies supposed to be the best in the world — and found them completely useless. Scott is completely different. He knows the business, gets the work right, and delivers results.
