Building wealth through Acquisitions & Insightful financial reporting

I believe that Entrepreneurs not only power economies but drive the positive change in the world. But many are forced to fly solo. 

Thats why I left PwC and the corporate world, to work with ambitious founders, and help them turn their financials into a real asset for growth. Then help them scale, and invest in their futures using smart acquisitions, tax-savvy structuring, and investor-level reporting that helps them add millions to their balancesheet. In turn helping them lead more fulfilled lives and driving the positive change in the world they dream of.

I now focus on helping owner-operators like you buy, grow, and exit businesses with confidence, making sure they know what they don't know, so that they don’t slow down, lose control or, realise too late that one change would have made/saved them millions.
You’ve worked hard to build something meaningful — let’s make sure it rewards you fully.
Whether you’re eyeing your first acquisition or engineering a premium exit, I’ll help you see what others miss.
Book a no-fluff strategy call and get clear on your leverage.

I Coach CEO’s and Entrepreneurs to Scale UP to 7 Figures in Sales, Profits and Shareholder Value for 7/8 Figure Exits / Coached 500+ clients to £1m+ / £25m of Exits in 2022 😎 I’m #MadeByDyslexia and 💜 Purple

Are you wanting to Scale UP to 7 Figures in Sales, Profits and Enterprise Value? 

Need more Accountability to make sure you hit your goals? 

What if I told you there was a Proven path to Level Up your Sales, Profits and Freedom - well there is and you can learn it. 

Would you want to know more..?🤔

For the last 19 years, I’ve been Business a Coaching and Mentoring business owners just like you in my Masterminds to get the results and lifestyle they desire and deserve.

But I’m not just a Business Coach, I’m an owner like you! 

You see I own three successful growing businesses that help companies wanting to fix their biggest challenges, Marketing, Teams and Video Marketing Content.

But it’s not always been this way…

In fact, I've had business failures along the way, a divorce, and even a life-threatening illness... But the point of sharing this with you is to show you there is a better way...and I can guide you there because I have the map and it’s called the “Grown-Up Business System”.

When you start building a “Grow Up Business” you will:

✅ Never have to worry about having Cash Flow to pay salaries or suppliers again
✅ Be able to work “On” the business while your Management Team “Runs” the business
✅ Have a clear Scale Up Strategy to follow and execute on
✅ Attract top talent to join your team and help build your dream.
✅ Enjoy more time off with your family knowing the business will continue to grow 

If you think this sounds like marketing hype just read what a few of my coaching clients say…

⤴️ “We went from loaning the business money to make payroll to generating an additional £1.2m+ in new sales and over £500k in Net Profits” 
Steve Family Owned Bodyshop.

⤴️ “Paul’s helped us scale up from 2 employees to a team of 30+ and develop as leaders. My husband and I are less stressed, have more time and we have passed the £1.2m target we set initially” 
Sheena & Paul,  Landscape Garden Designers.

⤴️ “When we met Paul we were working long hours and the whole business revolved around us. Now we have a great management team in place, work a few days a week and the business has grown by 45%" Ian & Nicola, Cyber Security Company.

⤴️ “Before Paul, our growth had stalled. Today sales are up 51% in the last 6 months, we have passed £3m+ turnover, expanded into 5 new countries and there are no signs of it stopping!” 
Tom  Eye-ware Manufacturing Company.

Paul Avins - The Grown UP Business Coach

I almost had a burnout again before Xmas! 😱

But remembering this strategy saved me and reconnected Sue and me to what really matters…

Yes that age old Founder and CEO patten (story) of promising myself “I’ll just push through this month and then rest…” nearly got me again 😱

Thankfully I remembered to use these powerful question to get me recharged and reved up so I wanted to share them with you for 2026. 

1) What’s really making you feel this tired?
 -> Is it open loops? Poor sleep? Not saying No? 

When you break down what’s causing the emotional exhaustion you can then start to work on potential solutions. 

2) What’s the Real Impact of just stopping for 24/ 48hrs to regroup?
-> This helps you sift your focus aways from 🔥fighting to freedom building and getting distance.

When we are pushing hard it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking everything is Urgent!. 

I always go back to the 4 Quadrants from 7 Habits and refocus on what’s Important and links to my Long Term Goals 🔑

3) How can I shift my Environment to get a fresh perspective?
-> Can you get away for a night? Work from a different location? Go for a Walk or Gym session

The fastest way to change how you feel is to change your environment. 

I chose to take Sue to our favourite Spa in Woburn for a morning of relaxing and reviving. 

Our brains 🧠needs decompression time away from screens and constant demands. 

Remember you are doing CEO work when you are investing TIME ⏰ in yourself and your energy. 

The result of a short weekend away?

I came back with renewed focus and feeling 🔥UP to help my team and clients kick of 2026 💪🏻

Where does all growth and success come from? It all starts with a question…

Yesterday Nicola Anderson and I ran an amazing Leadership Kick off event for the UKLC Group in Liverpool - what a city! 

You can feel the creative energy here and reminders of its history and connection to music.

What’s great about days like these is they: 

✅ Let every business share their wins and positive progress over the last 12 months and there was a LOT to celebrate 👏🏻

✅ Set powerful intentions for the next year and share Strategic Plans to have them critiqued and assessed by the Leadership Mastermind 😎

✅ Share what’s working in one business across the group and identify opportunities to add more value to clients with new products and programs. 🤝

✅ Help the Leaders to Level UP their Mindset and Identity - we kicked off the day with a 2hr Training session all about how to shift Limiting Beliefs 💪🏻

So what’s the question the word Imagine reminded me to share with you? 

It’s this - What if we could <Fill in your 10x Goal> in have the time? 🤔

It opens up your mind to think bigger - the access the creativity deep inside and perhaps…..

Create a way you can achieve your 5 year goals in 24 months - and you have to LOVE that outcome 💜

Thanks to Céline Aloé CEO at UKLC Education Group Tregarran Percival Jago Brown and the whole team for a great day and for allowing us to coach you all to higher levels of Perfromance!

Have you ever tried the healing powers of a sound bath? Well last week my Mastermind had the opportunity…

One of the F’s in my Faster Growth Formula that we cover in my F12 Masterind is for - Frequency! 

If you want your business to shift up - you have to shift your vibrations to a new level of being. 🤩

So what better way to finish Day 1 of the two day kick off meeting that with a brand new experience. 

The room was so relaxing bathed in purple light 💜because it’s a high vibration colour not just for me 

We were blessed with an amazing therapist who helped us all to focus on the No1 feeling we wanted to release or experience going into the new year. 

They we laid back, relaxed and let the different sounds and frequencies wash over us for the next hour.

Some people drifted off to sleep…

Some go to have a deep emotional shift…

Personally I had many emotions come up…

Afterwards we shared our experiences and everybody agreed it was a powerful and positive way to end day one. 

I have a feeling we may do another session before the year ends 🙏🏼

Have you tried it? What did you think? 

Would you like to come to a Manifestation workshop where this was included? 

I would 💜to hear your thoughts on this…

🚀 How you start the year sets the tone for everything that follows.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been running team kickoffs with leadership teams who wanted more than another meeting.

They wanted focus.
They wanted alignment.
They wanted energy — without hype.

This is the 5-step process I use every time:

• Take the team off-site to shift thinking
• Pre-publish a clear agenda so everyone arrives aligned
• Balance teaching + celebration (skills and culture)
• Share the growth roadmap so people know what winning looks like
• Finish with a high-energy activity that brings it all together

Why does this matter?

Because you can’t ask people to think about the future of the business
while they’re stuck in the day-to-day.

And you can’t expect higher standards
if you haven’t created the environment for them.

The interesting thing is this:
Every client we ran these for last January went on to have a record year.

That’s not coincidence.
That’s what happens when identity, clarity, and execution line up.

If you’re planning a team kickoff — or thinking “we should probably do one” — I’m happy to talk it through.

👇 Comment KICKOFF or DM me KICKOFF and I’ll send you more details.

Let’s start the year properly.

P.S. I go deeper on topics like this in my weekly newsletter.
