Most service businesses fail to sell not because they aren't profitable, but because they're operationally unprepared. Founder dependency. Undocumented processes. Team burnout. Unpredictable delivery. These operational red flags don't just delay exits → they slash valuations by 30-50% in due diligence. I fix this. My £997 Exit Readiness Audit reveals exactly what's blocking your exit and costing you valuation. Delivered within 2 weeks. Complete diagnostic. Prioritized roadmap. No long-term commitment, just brutal clarity on where you stand. Background: 13+ years leading £1B+ infrastructure projects (Heathrow expansion, US Embassy, Italy's high-speed rail). I've managed what most consultants theorize about: operational complexity at scale, stakeholder chaos, crisis prevention when millions are on the line. Now I help service business founders build the same operational excellence into their exits. --- RECENT CLIENT RESULTS: → 60% reduction in project delays (operational predictability buyers reward) → 40% decrease in team burnout (reduced key person risk) → Documented processes that pass due diligence scrutiny → Systematic operations enabling true owner independence --- WHO I WORK WITH: Service business owners (£2M-£20M revenue) planning exit within 2-5 years, PE portfolio companies preparing for exit, businesses needing operational cleanup before entering sale process. --- WHAT I OFFER: → Exit Readiness Audit (£997): Complete diagnostic + roadmap → Exit Preparation Programs: Full transformation → Fractional COO Services: Ongoing leadership 🎯 PRINCE2 Certified | Chartered Architect/Engineer 📍 London-based | Serving businesses globally Planning an exit?
