"We sold our business for $685k.  And, made it profitable for the three years leading up to the sale. 
It was life-changing for me and my family."
EXAMPLE TESTIMONIAL
Transform Your Business into a High-Value, Sale-Ready Asset
You've done the heavy lifting. Built a solid business. Got good clients. Strong revenue.

BUT... you're wondering - "where the heck is the reward???"

You're still first in, last out
Everything needs your okay
Holidays? What holidays?
And that exit plan? Still just a dream

Meanwhile, you hear about another local business
 - half your size - selling for life-changing money. 
Buy a beach house in Noosa kind of money.

Sound familiar?

The frustrating part? Your business is doing well. Really well.

✅  Solid revenue ($250K-5M)
✅  Good team in place
✅  Loyal customers
✅  Strong local reputation

But let's be honest about where you're at:

⚠️ You can't step away without things falling apart
⚠️  Your systems live in your head
⚠️  Documentation? Maybe next month
⚠️  And buyers? They want "ready to go"

You're not alone.
 
And more importantly - this isn't how it has to be.
Here's What Nobody Tells You

The gap between you and a successful exit or even more profit and fun isn't about how good your business is.

It's about being prepared for the opportunity.

Right now in Australia:

💲 Buyers are actively looking
💲 Money is ready to be spent on good businesses
💲 Industry consolidation is happening

But they want prepared businesses.

And this CAN be YOU with the right toolkit.

✅ Train your team to handle things themselves
✅ Get off the tools and into strategy
✅ Find ways to grow without YOU being in the center of the sale or delivery
What this really means: 
Having everything documented and organised so a buyer can see exactly what they're getting.  Oh, and making things easier for your team to run (which means more FUN for you).

Here's the hard truth...
Your business is probably worth less than you think right now.

Not because it's not good - but because it depends too much on you.

But here's the good news...
With the right systems and support, you can change that. 

Pretty quickly, actually.
What you REALLY want to know...
"Can my business actually run without me?"
Yes. We've helped dozens of owners
get their lives back.

"Is my business worth anything?"
Probably more than you think -
once we fix a few key things.

"How long does it really take?"
Most businesses see real changes in 90 days.
Major transformation in 12 months.

"What if I'm not ready to sell?"
Perfect. Let's build value now so you
have options later.

KATHRYN PORRITT - The Growth Expert Who Sees What Others Miss
Hi, I'm Kathryn. I've built and sold my own multi-million dollar business, so I know exactly what you're going through - and more importantly, I know how to help you get where you want to go.

Been There, Done That

💎 Built and sold my own multi-million dollar company
💎 Instrumental in other multi-million dollar business sales
💎 Created massive growth in global businesses

Not all of it's been pretty.  In fact, a lot of it wasn't... and I'm very keen to make sure you don't make the mistakes I've made, and that we create something really joyful and profitable for you along the way.

What This Means for You

Ready to Talk?
Let's have a straight-up conversation about your business and what's possible. Book a time below and let's map out your path forward.
COMMON QUESTIONS
"Is This Really Possible Right Now?"
While others worry about the economy, buyers are actively looking for well-prepared Australian companies. The gap between prepared and unprepared businesses is widening. You either get ready now or miss the opportunity.
"Do I Need to Change Everything?"
This isn't about changing what works. It's about documenting your success, building systems around it, and preparing for due diligence. You don't need to revolutionise - you need to systematise i.e. make things SIMPLE and CLEAN.
"Will This Work For My Type of Business?"
If you're running a successful local business with a solid team, yes. The principles work across sectors because they're based on business fundamentals, not theory.
"Why Haven't I Been Able to Do This Alone?"
Because you're busy running a successful business. That's good - it means you've built something worth preparing for exit. We provide the framework and accountability to make it happen.
