Does This Sound Like You?

Scaling vs. Capacity

Your revenue is growing, but your headaches are doubling. You are scaling faster than your staff's ability to handle the work, leading to constant errors and losses.

The "One-Man" Trap

If you travel for two weeks, can the business run without you? If the answer is no, you haven't started building a legacy business; you only have a job.

Financial Blindfold

You judge business health by your bank balance, not a P&L. You are worried about new tax laws and don't know if you are actually making a net profit.

Our Curriculum

The 4 Pillars of Corporate Stability

We move beyond basic tips to deep corporate governance and operational structure.

Finance & Funding Readiness

  • Bankability: Structuring books for Loans & Grants.
  • Profit Planning: Moving from "Bank Balance" to P&L.
  • Tax Defense: Understanding the new Finance Act.
  • Cash Flow: Policies to protect working capital.

People, Culture & Labor Law

  • Compliance: Labor Laws, benefits, and rights.
  • Retention: Culture strategies to stop attrition.
  • Risk: Contracts & guarantors to prevent fraud.
  • Performance: Building partners, not workers.
