A paid audit, not another AI pitch

You're leaking money to work software should be doing.
You just can't see where.

Every agency is selling you the same AI pitch. We do the opposite. We start with a paid audit of how your business actually runs, find the three automations worth doing this quarter, and put a number on each. What it saves. What it makes. Then you decide.

Book the audit See how the audit works

You already suspect you're behind on this. You've watched competitors move and wondered what they know that you don't. You've half tried a few tools and got nowhere. And you're tired of being sold hype by people who've never run a business.

That's why we start with the numbers, not the tech.

Two verticals. One method.

We do two things. We audit, optimise, and automate other people's businesses. And we buy some of them.

They're not separate. The audit is how we find out what a business is really worth fixing, and it's the same lens we use before we buy one. Different door, same eye.

Business Systems

Audit, Optimise, Automate. We find where you're leaking time and margin, fix the process, then automate what's left.

Acquisitions

We buy and run businesses ourselves. Not advice. Not a broker. A straight buyer.

Talk about selling

Audit, Optimise, Automate.

In that order. Always.

01

Audit

Two weeks. We go through how your business actually runs and find where you're losing time and margin to work software should be doing. You get a ranked list of what to fix, each one costed, each tied to a number. You keep it whether we work together again or not.

Under £1M turnoverfrom £1,950
£1M to £3Mfrom £3,500
£3M to £5Mfrom £5,500

A bigger business has more moving parts and more money on the table. The audit scales with it.

02

Optimise

Automating a broken process just makes the mess faster. We tighten the workflows the audit flagged first, so what we build next actually holds.

03

Automate

We build it, deploy it, and hand it over running. What comes after the audit is priced against what the audit finds, not a rate card. If we uncover £200k a year, the fee reflects that. If it's £40k, it reflects that. You see the maths before you commit to anything. Most owners who do the audit end up here.

We buy businesses too

Audit clients get a report. Some businesses, we make an offer instead.

We acquire and consolidate SMEs in the sectors we already work in — agencies, technical and trade services businesses. Same profile as our audit clients: owner operators, under £5M turnover, more moving parts than one person should be carrying, a founder closer to stepping back than doubling down.

We're not a broker. We don't shop your business round to fifteen buyers to see who bids highest. We look once, decide once, and if the numbers work, we buy it and run it ourselves.

If that's closer to where you are than an audit, say so on the call. Same conversation, different question.

Why us

Most people selling you AI have never run a business. We have. We build, buy, and run companies, and the automations we'd put into yours are the ones we already run in our own.

That's where I come in. When I look at your business, I'm not seeing a client to bill. I'm seeing an operation the way an owner sees it: where the margin hides, where the time goes, what's actually worth fixing. The audit I'd run on you is the same one I'd run on a business before deciding whether to buy it. You're just getting it pointed at yours.

So when we tell you something's worth doing, it's because we've done it. Not read about it. Done it, with our own money on the line.

What this looks like in practice

Every business we audit is different. The pattern's the same. We find where the money leaks, fix the process, then automate it. Here's what that's found so far.

A gym losing members before they cancelled

Audit

Members drifted off quietly. By the time anyone noticed, they'd already decided to leave. Nobody could see it coming.

Optimise

We built a risk dashboard that watches every member. Green, amber, red, based on when they last came in and how their usage compares to their own 45 day average.

Automate

Free trials follow up on their own and convert to paid now. And the moment a member drifts into amber, the gym knows, while there's still time to pull them back.

A glazing firm losing quotes without knowing why

Audit

Staff built every quote by hand, sent it, then chased it. Slow, and worse, nobody could see why so many quotes went nowhere. We dug in and found the pattern: budgets never pinned down before the quote went out, buyers quietly shopping around on price, and follow ups that never happened because nobody owned them. The owner had never seen any of it.

Optimise

We fixed the front of the process first, so budget and fit got established before anyone spent time quoting.

Automate

A quote form writes the draft itself now. Someone reviews it, sends it, and the system flags every follow up so none slip. 20 to 30 hours a week back, and for the first time the owner can see exactly why a quote wins or loses.

A marketing agency losing days to every proposal

Audit

Every proposal took two people up to two full days on the complex ones. Their best people, spending their best hours writing documents instead of winning work.

Optimise

We built a bank of their real proposals, won and lost, and captured the owner's voice and how he pitches.

Automate

A first draft comes back 95% done from a few key inputs now, in the owner's own voice. What used to take up to two days takes him an hour to review, sharpen, and send. The judgement stays his. The days spent typing don't.

A food brand doing everything by hand

Audit

Two jobs eating their week. Someone copied orders between systems by hand every day. And every month someone downloaded inventory from the distributor, then worked through invoices line by line to see how the year compared to the last. Slow, and out of date by the time it was done.

Optimise

We stripped both back to the numbers that actually drove decisions and cut the rest.

Automate

Orders move between systems on their own now. The stock dashboard pulls its own data, compares against previous years, and updates live, with an email summary that lands without anyone asking. Two to three hours a week back, and the owner sees where they stand every morning instead of finding out weeks late.

Every business we've looked at leaked money somewhere it couldn't see. Yours will too. The only question is how much, and whether you'd rather know.

Find out where yours leaks

Start with the audit

This isn't for everyone. If you're happy running things as they are, it'll only annoy you. It's for owners who reckon they're leaving money on the table and want the number.

  • Where you're losing time and margin, named and ranked
  • The three fixes worth doing this quarter
  • A number on each: what it saves, what it makes
  • A report built for your business, not a template

Priced on your size: from £1,950 under £1M turnover, from £3,500 up to £3M, from £5,500 up to £5M.

We don't have a rate card for what comes after. The audit tells us what's worth fixing and what it's worth to you, and we price against that number, never against what the agency down the road charges. You see it before you commit.
