BUSINESSES WE’VE HELPED GET GROWING AGAIN

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Signs the business all runs through you

Every decision, big or small, waits for you.
A week off means checking your phone every hour.
Good people leave, or stop putting their hand up.
The same job gets done three different ways depending on who's in.
You spend your days on work you'd happily pay someone else to do.

This usually means the business has grown and the way it's led hasn't caught up yet. It's fixable, and it rarely needs more of your time to fix.

WHAT WE CAN DO

Build a business that runs without you in every room

01

Coach you as the leader

We help you shift from doing the work to leading the people who do it. That includes how you delegate, how you give feedback and how you spend your week.

02

Set the right structure

We work out who should own what at your current size, where you need a leadership team, and which roles are missing or doubled up.

03

Hand over properly

We help you hand over the goal, the person's role in it and the measure, then check in on a regular rhythm. People take ownership when they know what good looks like.

04

Put the systems around routine work

We find the repeatable work your people are carrying, then document it, simplify it or automate it. Thinking about AI for this? See AI for your business.

"Before working with Point16, our business lacked clear direction, and as owner-operators, we were caught in the day-to-day grind. Within just a few sessions, we had a defined growth target and a step-by-step road map to achieve it. Five years on, we’ve not only smashed that goal but continue to be blown away by the ongoing support from Point16."

Jon Harris — Managing Director, Harper Properties
"Point16 helped us identify the critical areas of our business that needed focused attention. Their team delivered clear, actionable solutions to complex challenges we had been struggling to solve. Thanks to their guidance, we regained structure and started making the most of our contact points and meetings."

Michaela Hogarth — Ops Manager, Premium Apparel Ltd
"We started working with Point 16 at a time where we had grown quickly but were struggling to see direction. Our team was working exhausting hours, and our entire operation revolved around just a few key people. Point 16 helped us identify our challenges and provide a clear, actionable plan. They helped us transform from chaotic growth to a company with clear systems and a sustainable path forward. We can't recommend their business coaching services highly enough."

Nick Donald — Managing Director, Premium Apparel Ltd
"We were struggling to align our team around a clear strategy - everyone was busy, but we lacked a unified direction. We chose Point16 because of their reputation for turning complex challenges into clear, actionable plans. And that’s exactly what they delivered. We not only clarified our priorities but also built buy-in across the team. They helped us uncover solutions we already had, but couldn't see on our own. If you're feeling stuck, scattered, or just in need of a strategic reset, I can't recommend Point16 highly enough."

Judd Marshall — Founder & Director, AMS
"When stepping up our growth at Eversource, Point 16 played a valuable role in sizing the opportunity and enhancing our approach. They bring a wealth of resources, the ideal mix of specialists to supplement our team and fresh thinking. We were on the right track. They helped lift our performance."

John-G Snaith — CEO & Co-Founder Eversource

QUESTIONS

What Owners Ask Us

List the decisions only you make today, then hand over the routine ones first, each with a clear goal and measure. Systemise the repeatable work so it stops landing on your desk.
Hand over the outcome and how it will be measured, then agree when you'll check in. You stay across the results without being in every step.
When the owner has become the bottleneck. If work regularly waits for you to decide, it's time to give other people the authority to decide.
Yes. Buyers pay for a business that works without the owner in the room, so reducing your reliance on yourself is often the first step in getting ready to sell.
