HOW WE HELP / GROWTH HAS STALLED
Working harder for the same result?
When more effort stops bringing more revenue or profit, the business has usually outgrown the way it's run. We help you find the part that's stuck and fix that first.
BUSINESSES WE’VE HELPED GET GROWING AGAIN
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Signs growth has stalled
You're putting in more hours and the revenue or profit isn't moving.
Sales are up, but margins keeps slipping.
Good months and bad months arrive with no clear reason for either.
You've tried more marketing, more staff or a new product, and none of it stuck like it should have.
The business feels like it has hit a ceiling.
If you ticked two or more, you're in good company. Most businesses stall at similar points: roughly $1 - 2 million in revenue, $8 - 10m, around $20m and again breaking through $50 million.
The walls are predictable, which means the way over them is too.
WHAT WE DO
Find it, Fix it, Keep it focused
01
Find what’s capping growth
We look across your business to find the one area holding the rest back. Business is having a product or service, that customers buy, for a profit. We call this PCF (product, customer, finance). Most businesses are strong in one, fine in another and quietly weak in the third. The weak one sets the ceiling.
02
Grow customers and sales
We work out who your best customers are, why they buy and where the next ones will come from. Then we sharpen the offer and the sales process so growth stops depending on you making every call and margins get maximised.
03
Fix product, pricing and margin
We find which products and services make money and which only keep you busy. Then we set pricing you can hold in a tough conversation.
04
Build a plan that stays focused
You won't need a complete overhaul. We pick the few things holding you back and the few things working best, put a plan around both, and leave the rest alone.

QUESTIONS
What Owners Ask Us
-
Usually because the business has outgrown the way it's run. The structure, systems and decision-making that got you to your current size often can't carry you to the next one, so extra effort stops paying off.
-
Start with the free Business Health Check. It takes 10 minutes and scores your customers, product and finances, so you can see which area is weakest before you spend money fixing the wrong one.
-
If growth has stalled, you need help with both you and the business. A coach works on you as the owner. An advisor works on the business itself. Business Growth School and Point16 Advisory cover both.
-
Most owners leave Business Growth School with a plan they start on the following Monday. How quickly the numbers move depends on the size of the fix, and we'll be honest with you about that up front.
