Scale Preparation
Get the business ready for the next stage of growth.
What This Work Involves
Scaling a business requires more than ambition. It requires the right systems, the right people in the right roles, and the operating infrastructure to support growth without losing control. Scale Preparation work gets the business ready for what comes next, whether that is a new market, a larger team, an investment round or an exit.
Who This Is For
Businesses approaching a significant growth inflection point. Founders preparing for investment, acquisition or rapid expansion. Companies that have outgrown their current operating model.
In Practice
Robert took Jyrobike through the full journey from founding to funding to acquisition by Yvolution, giving him direct experience of what investors and acquirers look for in a business. For Shopguard, he helped take a declining product line through a two-year development and commercialisation process that resulted in worldwide patents, 10,000+ units sold, and $3M+ revenue.
