About Business Alchemy
Business Alchemy works with owners and founders to increase profitability by rationalising how they do business and working with them to scale, using M & A and other strategies.
We are investors and mentors who apply our specialised knowledge on how to prepare your business for exit even if you’re not planning on selling it right now. We believe the smart time to begin to grow the value of your business is right from day one, when you first open your doors.
How many times have unexpected events such as pandemics, economic, financial or social disruption, waylaid the plans of owners like you? By making preparation for exit a core pillar of your business philosophy, you are always ready and able to deal with unexpected events or opportunities.
Business Alchemy is the result of 20 + years of building, and scaling businesses on 3 continents across the world. Over that time we made mistakes. Lots of them. We treat these as opportunities to learn, grow and develop.
And just as the medieval alchemists used experimentation to decipher how the elements of chemistry fit together, we have some powerful formulas that can transmute your business into metaphorical gold. And these enabled us to decipher the code that allows business owners to scale and grow in the fastest, most efficient and effective way, so that your company is more profitable, with higher margins and lower overheads.
Part of the original alchemy was connected to the quest for inner realisations that enabled the seeker after truth, to find a better way. To build a more prosperous world, using the rules of nature. And this has always been my quest. To devise a superior means to spread prosperity across the world. Both directly and indirectly.
What we do is certainly not the sort of thing you’ll hear from your average business coach or consultant. But then again we don’t aim for average results.
Our quest is to turn leaden businesses into goldmines.
We deploy the same strategies to grow the profitability and value of businesses that Private Equity Funds, Family Offices and Private Bankers use. They won’t touch a business your size because it’s not worth their while. This is where we come into the picture to make your business into the sort of target they may want to acquire.
Our perfect clients have revenues between 1-3 million and a team of 5 + members and a solid reputation, with good momentum. Yet, they still struggle to smash through the glass ceiling to the place they want and deserve to be.
We have found through many years in the trenches that the way founders and owners have been told to grow their business is probably not the fastest, easiest, least expensive and most efficient method. Instead, business coaches and consultants have trotted out the same ways to scale a company that every one else on the planet is suggesting.
