Build a business that's worth more.
Whether you keep it or sell it one day. I work with founders whose growth has levelled off. We get an honest picture of where the business is today, agree where you want it to be, and spend 90 days closing the gap together.
Businesses I've worked with
Founders at a turning point.
You've built something real, with customers, a team and revenue coming in.
But growth has levelled off. Or too much still runs through you. Or you've started to wonder what the business would be worth to someone else.
Doing more usually isn't the answer. Knowing where you stand, and working on the right things, usually is.
A more valuable business gives you options.
When revenue is steadier, margins are healthier and the business doesn't depend on you, two things happen.
Keep it
It's a better business to own. Less firefighting, more profit and more of your time back. You might find you enjoy it more than ever.
Sell it
It's more attractive to a buyer. If the right offer comes along, you're in a position to say yes, on your terms and at a better price.
Either way, the work is the same. I help you build the business so the choice is yours.
A 90-day growth sprint.
We start with an honest look at where the business is today and where you want it to be. Then we spend 90 days closing the gap, together.
Your scorecard
About 45 minutes on your numbers and your goal. Don't know a number? That's fine. Finding it is part of the work.
Scorecard Day
A day together, 1-to-1. We score the four areas below, map the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and find what's really holding things back.
Your written plan
Priorities, owners, the numbers to watch and what to stop doing, so you can get going straight away.
A weekly call
We review your numbers, clear what's in the way and agree the next actions. Between calls, you can message me on WhatsApp.
Re-score and next steps
We score the business again, see what's moved and agree what comes next.
By day 90: you know exactly where the business stands, you've spent 90 days improving it, and you have the numbers to show what's moved.
Four areas that shape what a business is worth.
Most businesses are held back by one or two of these. The scorecard shows which, and gives us a baseline to measure progress against.
Demand
Are enough of the right people finding you?
Lead volume and channels.
Conversion
Are enough of them becoming customers?
Lead-to-sale rate, sales process, follow-up and closing.
Economics
Does each customer make you money?
Cost to win a customer, what they're worth, how long they stay.
Systems
Can the business run without you?
Team, processes, tools and hidden risks: too much on you, one big client, one channel.
These are the same things a buyer looks at. Improving them makes the business better to run today, and worth more if you ever sell.
Meet Luke.
I've spent 12 years building and growing businesses, across health and fitness, SaaS, tech, professional services, sport, M&A and AI infrastructure.
I've built businesses, advised founders, built sales pipelines, launched products and made plenty of mistakes along the way.
What I've learned is that growth problems are rarely solved by doing more. They're solved by finding what's really holding things back and focusing there.
In their words.
GrwthX has been the driving force behind our studio growth, increasing our MRR 5× and making every step feel like the logical next one. Having had no formal business training, I now feel totally confident in my daily operations.
Luke's guidance was invaluable. He helped me set up strong systems and processes, connected me to the right people in the sports industry, connections I'm still using today. He gave me the momentum I needed to set Fixture up with a clear niche and long-term plan.
Luke helped me clarify our business goals and sales pipelines. As someone who'd always worked in charities, his commercial expertise was so useful. He's encouraging while being honest when needed. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a business coach.
Who this works for.
A good fit if you
- Run an established business with paying customers
- Have hit a plateau, or want the next stage to be more profitable
- Want a business that's worth more, whether you keep it or sell it
- Will act on what we find
Not a fit if you
- Are still finding your first customers
- Want someone to do your marketing or sales for you
- Want a guaranteed outcome
Common questions.
Who is this for?
Founders of established businesses whose growth has levelled off, or who want the business to be more profitable and worth more. Sector matters less than the situation.
Is this only for founders who want to sell?
No. Many founders simply want a better business to own. The work is the same either way: steadier revenue, healthier margins and less depending on you. Selling just becomes an option if you ever want it.
Can you help if I'm planning to sell?
Yes. We look at the business the way a buyer would, find what's likely to hold the value down, and work on what makes the biggest difference in the time you have.
Online or in person?
Online by default. In person by arrangement, with travel charged separately.
Do you do the marketing or sales for me?
No. I help you see where the business stands, build the plan and keep it moving. You and your team do the work.
What happens after 90 days?
We re-score the business, see what's moved and agree what comes next. That might be another sprint, lighter-touch support, or you taking the plan and running with it.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the business and what we're working on. Tell me a bit about where you are and I'll come back with a clear price.
Tell me where your business is.
A few lines on where you are today and where you'd like to get to is plenty. I'll come back to you within one working day.
- Send me a note, or email luke@grwthx.com.
- We have a short call to see if I can help.
- If it's a fit, we agree a start date for your sprint.
Thanks, got it.
I'll come back to you within one working day.
