Turning a good idea into a profitable business is challenging, especially if you haven’t done it before.
It is heart-breaking how often we see entrepreneurs making very expensive (and all too predictable) mistakes during this phase. Mistakes that can often delay and even permanently derail businesses with great potential.
We can help get your business ready for a successful launch by:
Refining your idea into a compelling customer proposition
Helping develop the minimum viable product (MVP)
Identifying the right funding options for your business
Writing an investor ready Business Plan
Developing a powerful (and cost effective) sales and marketing plan to ensure you get sales in the door as quickly as possible
Preparing a persuasive investor pitch deck
Building the financial model / financial forecasts
Making introductions to potential investors in our network
Once we have successfully launched your business, our attention then turns to growing the business as quickly and profitably as possible.
The first 12-18 months of any startup’s life are critical and we can help you navigate this important stage of growth by:
Developing powerful, creative, and importantly cost-effective, marketing initiatives (digital, social, PR, and offline)
Building a sustainable sales model
Laying the foundations for and then developing the business’ brand
Identifying and doing deals with the right partners
Negotiating key agreements
Finding the right staff
Finding quality suppliers
EXAMPLE PROJECTS
IAP, a London-based residential property investment startup, engaged us to help them find ways to grow their recently launched business.
Over the next 3 years we helped them to launch a new mortgage broking business, open an office in Hong Kong, develop new sales channels targeting high net worth individuals, develop several new property related products and services, and build a network of new corporate partnerships.
The company was the fastest growing company in the UK for two years in a row. Within just 3 years, the group had sold more than 15,000 UK and international properties, had an annual profit in excess of $50 million, more than 350 staff, and offices in the USA, Europe, and Hong Kong. The group became the largest seller of US and Spanish property to the UK market, as well as selling almost 5% of all new build units in the UK.
