ONE BUSINESS · ONE OPERATING RHYTHM
Depending on the business, George can operate as a fractional growth director, commercial partner or embedded member of the leadership team—with enough involvement to understand what is genuinely happening inside the company.
Growth only works when the entire business can support it.If marketing exposes a sales, capacity, recruitment or delivery constraint, the partnership addresses the real constraint.
- Weekly leadership and performance meetings
- Direct management of priority growth projects
- Coordination of internal and external specialists
- Commercial input into important decisions
- Clear owners, deadlines and accountability
- Regular review of targets and constraints
03 — SHARED ACCOUNTABILITY
Ambition translated into commercial targets.
Every engagement begins by agreeing what success actually looks like. We then convert it into defined milestones, responsibilities and numbers.

05 — WHY EQUITY?
Because the best partnerships create value for everyone.
In selected businesses, George may invest time, experience, intellectual property and specialist resources in return for an equity position.
This is not passive investment. It means accepting meaningful responsibility for helping build the business—and earning the greatest reward by creating genuine long-term value.
“If we are building the value together, our interests should be aligned.”
PARTNERSHIP STRUCTUREDesigned around the opportunity
- Equity earned against agreed milestones
- A combination of monthly fees and equity
- Performance-related equity or incentives
- A defined operating role with clear responsibilities
- A longer-term value-creation or exit plan
Every arrangement is considered individually and documented properly. There is no standard percentage because the involvement, existing value, risk and scale of opportunity differ in every business.
06 — THE RIGHT KIND OF BUSINESS
This partnership is deliberately selective.
It is designed for established businesses with a proven service and meaningful potential—not ideas that still need to be validated from scratch.
A strong fit
- Demonstrated customer demand and existing revenue
- A good product, service or market reputation
- Substantial three-to-five-year growth ambition
- Owners open to challenge and operational change
- Honest access to numbers, performance and problems
- Potential to create significant enterprise value
Not the right fit
- A founder looking only for occasional advice
- Growth expected without investment or accountability
- No operational capacity or willingness to build it
- Owners unwilling to share accurate commercial data
- A short-term campaign presented as a partnership
- An unproven idea without real customer demand
07 — HOW THE RELATIONSHIP BEGINS
We assess the business before discussing equity.
The ambition
Discuss the business, current performance, owners’ goals and barriers to growth.
The reality
Review the numbers, market, team, sales process and competitive position.
The potential
Define the realistic opportunity, required investment and meaningful targets.
The alignment
Agree responsibilities, involvement, commercial terms and any equity arrangement.
The execution
Build the 12-month plan within a three-to-five-year value-creation strategy.
