Business coaching for founders who are done with guesswork

You built something real. Now you need someone who will challenge your assumptions, hold you accountable, and help you make decisions that actually move revenue. That is what we do — nothing more, nothing less.

Your business does not need motivation — it needs a diagnostic

Most business coaching starts with vague goal-setting and inspirational platitudes. We start by identifying the three or four structural bottlenecks that are actually costing you money, time, or both. Every engagement begins with our Bottleneck Diagnostic — a forensic look at operations, pricing, team leverage, and decision-making patterns. Only after we understand the real constraints do we build a plan.

Revenue architecture

We map every revenue stream, pricing tier, and margin driver so you can see exactly where profit leaks happen. Many founders discover that their highest-revenue product is actually their lowest-margin offering — and that a simple restructure can shift profitability within weeks.

Decision-making audit

How quickly does your leadership team move from insight to action? We audit your decision cadence, meeting structures, and delegation patterns to eliminate bottlenecks that slow execution. The goal is to cut the average decision cycle by at least forty percent.

Founder leverage score

Are you the bottleneck in your own company? We calculate your Founder Leverage Score — a ratio of time spent on high-impact work versus operational firefighting. Most founders score below thirty percent when they first come to us. Our target is seventy or higher within six months.

Five phases, no fluff

Our coaching engagements follow a structured, repeatable framework that has been refined across more than two hundred founder relationships. Each phase has clear deliverables and exit criteria — you always know where you stand.

01

Intake and diagnostic

A ninety-minute deep-dive into your business model, financials, team structure, and personal goals. We produce a written Bottleneck Report within five working days, highlighting the top constraints and quick wins.

02

Strategic sprint design

Together we design a twelve-week sprint targeting two or three high-leverage changes. Each sprint has measurable KPIs, weekly check-ins, and a mid-point review to course-correct early if needed.

03

Accountability cadence

Fortnightly one-to-one coaching sessions supplemented by asynchronous voice-note check-ins. We track commitments in a shared dashboard so nothing falls through the cracks between sessions.

04

Team alignment workshop

If your leadership team needs to move together, we facilitate a half-day alignment session covering priorities, role clarity, and communication norms. This is optional but highly recommended for teams of four or more.

05

Review and transition

At the end of each sprint we measure results against baseline, document what worked, and decide whether to extend, shift focus, or graduate. There is no pressure to continue — the goal is to make you self-sufficient.

Numbers from real engagements

We do not publish testimonials because context matters more than quotes. Instead, here are aggregate outcomes from our most recent cohort of coached founders — measured six months after engagement start.

Things founders ask before they commit

A consultant typically delivers a report and leaves. A mentor shares opinions based on their own experience. A coach works alongside you in real time, challenging your thinking, holding you accountable to your own commitments, and helping you build the decision-making muscle that outlasts any engagement. We combine elements of all three but the accountability layer is what makes the difference.
Our sweet spot is owner-managed businesses with annual revenue between two hundred thousand and five million pounds. At this stage the founder is usually the strategic bottleneck, and the leverage from coaching is highest. We occasionally work with larger organisations but only when the engagement is scoped around a specific leadership challenge rather than general growth.
The initial Bottleneck Diagnostic is a fixed fee of four hundred and fifty pounds. A full twelve-week sprint starts at three thousand pounds, paid monthly. We do not offer open-ended retainers — every engagement has a defined scope and end date. The diagnostic call itself is free and carries no obligation.
Yes. The majority of our clients work with us over video call. We find that remote sessions are just as effective as in-person meetings for one-to-one coaching. Team alignment workshops can be run remotely but tend to benefit from an in-person setting if logistics allow. We are based in West Cross, Wales, and happy to host you if you prefer face-to-face.
Every sprint includes a mid-point review at week six. If the data shows that progress is off track, we adjust the approach together. If after the review you feel the engagement is not delivering value, you can pause or end the sprint with no further payment beyond the current month. We have no interest in keeping clients who are not getting results — it would undermine the very outcomes we measure.
