Case Study 01

Building a $32M business from $22M — retail e-commerce, four years in operation.

A retail and e-commerce business four years into its journey was turning over $22M — good revenue, but operating without a formal strategy, structured operations or any asset protection in place. The founding family's personal wealth was exposed, and the business had hit a ceiling. We embedded, diagnosed, and rebuilt it from the inside.

Revenue grew from $22M to $32M — a $10M uplift and $4M net profit increase over the engagement.

Family assets were restructured into a defensive ownership arrangement — separating business risk from personal wealth and protecting what the family had built.

How It Was Achieved
  • Built a comprehensive business plan — linking revenue targets, cost structure and strategic priorities into a single, executable roadmap
  • Implemented Balanced Scorecards across all business units — giving leadership real-time visibility over every performance driver and creating genuine accountability
  • Developed Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for each key person — identifying capability gaps and closing them through coaching, training and targeted recruitment
  • Brought in the right talent and restructured the team around the business's next phase of growth
  • Redesigned operations end-to-end — introducing systems, processes and reporting that scaled with the business
  • Implemented asset protection strategies for the family — restructuring ownership to separate personal wealth from operating risk
  • The business continues to perform strongly and the family is in a significantly better position — commercially and personally

Case Study 02

From bricks to clicks — quadrupling revenue through a full digital pivot.

A brick and mortar retail business turning over $3M knew the future was online — but had no go-to-market strategy, no digital presence and no plan for how to get there. We built the strategy, structured the business properly, and executed the pivot from the ground up.

Revenue grew from $3M to $12M — a 4× transformation, with net profit up 80% and gross margin expanded by 8 points.
