SGMS

Our approach is entirely bespoke and relentlessly practical. We don’t believe in one size fits all solutions – every business we work with receives tailored advice and support. From “hands on” to “hands hovering”, from light touch to intensive we aim to work with each individual client in the way that suits them best.

Start

Beth Lucas — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 10:16:26 +0000

We are happy to have an informal chat, to discuss your aspirations. Thereafter, we can help you create realistic plans to get your start-up off the ground and moving towards the point where it is sustainable, and again to the point where “small” becomes “big”.

Grow

We have particular expertise in helping firms scale – not just grow, but evolve systems and processes that make the firm better, more efficient, and ultimately more valuable.

This may require advice on commercial strategy and positioning; it may require assistance in creating an Insight / Challenger / Experiential marketing and new business machine.

It may well involve helping identify service streams that complement the firm’s existing services.

Manage

Manage covers assistance in how best to manage staff, how to manage clients and how to manage yourself.

The aim is to help you boost productivity to >£150K, profitability to >20%, staff cost ratio to the range 55% – 60%, and create a healthy cash flow.

And help you find the time to work on the business, not just in it.

It is about not just the best way to deal with significant specific challenges that arise (and I have helped two clients deal with the aftermath of a fraud; helped clients deal with incompetent CEO’s and division heads; senior staff threatening a walk-out – all the usual stuff…), but how to create an engaged and motivated team; how to create management routines that cascade through the firm, to get the place running like clockwork.

Sell

If you want to sell your business for a significant sum, we can help you make sure your business is in the best possible shape to appeal to buyers and achieve the best possible multiple.

We will help you select the right broker to market your firm (it’s very much horses for courses) and see you through everything from the Information Memorandum to Due Diligence (buyer and seller) to buyer interviews.
