Before you submit

Common questions about the call.

Is the call really free?
Yes, the call is free. No card needed. The qualifying form is the gate so the conversation goes deep instead of staying surface. If we're a good fit to work together, we'll talk about how. If not, you'll leave with a clear next move regardless.
What happens after I submit the form?
Founders in the Growth Room and Scale bands (£100k and up) pick a time straight away: the calendar appears as soon as you submit. Strategic Growth Programme and Exit Advisory applications get a personal review. I read every application myself and you'll get an email within 24 hours with a time link.
What if I'm under £100k revenue?
The call is built for £100k+ agencies. Start with the Agency Health Scorecard instead: 18 questions, your score out of 36 across six pillars, and The Weakest Pillar, Fixed case files matched to your weakest pillar. Fix the fundamentals, then book the call.
I'm not planning to sell. Is this still relevant?
Yes. The same things that make an agency sellable (recurring revenue, owner independence, documented systems) also make it more profitable and easier to lead day-to-day. You're building optionality, not obligations. Most clients aren't actively selling.
How long until I see results if we work together?
Most clients see measurable improvements inside 90 days, typically in pricing clarity, pipeline predictability, or delegation. The Strategic Growth Programme runs for 7 months to allow meaningful transformation. Exit preparation typically takes 12 to 24 months.
