Working with us.

Business operations support

You’ve got a team, you’ve got clients, things are getting delivered.

But the way the business runs behind the scenes is causing more effort than it should. You’re pulled into details you shouldn’t need to be across. Projects lose momentum. Roles overlap. Decisions stall. It’s not a crisis, but it is wearing.

This is often framed as a people issue, but more often than not, it’s operational. The structure isn’t holding the work. That’s what we help you fix.

Where we focus

We work with you and your team to:

  • Understand how the business is currently operating

  • Map out where things are breaking, duplicating or stalling

  • Clarify who’s responsible for what, and where handovers fall down

  • Simplify repeatable processes so they actually get followed

  • Build a rhythm that keeps things on track without relying on the founder

This isn’t about overhauling everything. It’s about improving what already exists, with the people you already have.

What changes

  • The business runs more smoothly without constant intervention

  • The team understands expectations and steps up

  • You stop carrying things that no longer need to be yours

  • Client delivery improves

  • You gain time, space and headroom to think about what’s next

How we work

We start with a short review of how things run today. It's not a deep dive or diagnostic, just a practical look at what’s working, what’s not, and where we can make improvements quickly.

Most businesses begin with a short sprint to reduce noise and fix immediate friction. If further support makes sense, we agree the right pace and scope from there.

Is this the right time?

If you’re the glue holding it all together, and it’s starting to affect the work, or you, then yes.
