Three dimensions of growth business

We help growth-oriented SMEs and investors make better decisions and see them through. We combine growth strategy and corporate transactions, sales development and the practical execution of growth.

Let’s talk about growth

Our services

Growth strategy & corporate transactions, sales development and executing growth form the framework on which an SME’s growth business is built.

Growth strategy & corporate transactions

We help clarify where the company is heading and what game plan will get it there. We build a growth strategy for existing and new markets and also take into account new business opportunities and international expansion.

We carry out business-driven due diligence reviews as well as comprehensive due diligence work together with specialist partners from our network, and we support clients in acquisitions and ownership arrangements.

Sales development

We make growth-driven sales repeatable together with the client’s team. We structure the offering and target segments, refine the sales process and metrics, and build a practical sales playbook together with sales management and the sales team. With the playbook, every salesperson has access to best practices and sales-supporting tools as a natural part of their daily work.

Executing growth

We make sure that the agreed direction and growth plans are translated into daily operations. We help clients utilise technology and systems, support the planning and execution of growth initiatives and participate in the preparation of funding applications and processes, including for example ELY and Business Finland funding. When needed, we also take on a part-time executive role in functions that support growth.

How we work

We do not bring in a ready-made model from outside – we build it together with the client. The involvement of management, experts and the sales team is essential to ensure that the solutions become part of the company’s everyday operations, whether the focus is on growth strategy, sales or the execution of growth.

When needed, we also bring in selected experts from our partner network in areas such as financial administration, legal services and technology or system projects. Examples include:

Examples of engagements across industries

We have worked with technology, expert services, restaurant and industrial companies. Below are examples of typical situations and engagements, without naming individual companies

Technology and cyber security

We work with B2B technology and cyber security companies where scalable business models and often international sales are key.

  • Growth strategy, sales development and a part-time CxO role for a fast-growing cyber security company.
  • Market analysis and deepening customer insight to support the development and launch of a new security product, as well as preparing for commercial due diligence by investors and buyers.
  • Preparing for internationalisation, modelling sales and developing the sales structure for a company providing software and laboratory services.

Expert services and financial administration

In expert services and financial administration, we have supported owner-led companies in growth, corporate transactions and ownership development.

  • Planning and execution of several smaller company and business acquisitions, selecting targets and performing due diligence for an accounting and financial services firm.
  • Due diligence support and advisory in transactions involving expert firms, assessing profitability, structure and tax impacts of the business.
  • Ownership arrangements and sales development for a creative and marketing-focused expert company, combined with CxO-type support in executing corporate transactions and securing funding for a development project.

Restaurants

In the restaurant sector, our work often combines concept development, financial planning and supporting owners in decision-making.

  • Corporate transaction for a restaurant concept, including due diligence and financial planning in connection with a change of ownership.
  • A part-time executive role where we built company-wide monitoring and reporting as well as cash flow planning to secure financing.

Industry and manufacturing

With industrial and manufacturing companies, the focus has been on sales structure, internationalisation and the development of product and service concepts.

  • A sales playbook and international sales model for an industrial solutions company aiming to grow its exports.
  • Planning a growth project and preparing funding for a product company expanding internationally, including productisation and defining the customer journey.
