Scale Up

Before you exit stage left, let's get the business growing. We look at the Four Pillars™ of your business that unleash growth, and we put them in play. This gets rapid growth and facilitates you leaving the operations of the business.

MORE PROFITS

Get Time away from the business

Exit Day-to-Day Operations

No more hearding cats, so much less frustration. Most of the owners we meet haven't had a school holidays off with the kids in years, or had the time to do what they want. We fix this and give you more free time with the GrowOS™ operating system

MORE FREE TIME

Sell for a Fortune

Sell at a Premium

EBIT multipliers suck. Using the Strategic Sale™ model, we position your business to sell for a multiple more than the usual sales formulas.

It's not difficult to get a top price for your business. We put systems in play that ensure the sale price is maximised.

MORE FREEDOM

Matt isn’t your typical business coach. He’s built and owned successful businesses, faced the same frustrations his clients deal with, and knows firsthand what it takes to grow something real. On top of founding three companies, he’s worked with some of the world’s biggest and most successful businesses: seeing, developing, and implementing game-changing strategies across teams of all shapes and sizes.

 

With 25+ years and over 14,000 hours in the trenches, Matt has worked with business owners and leadership teams in eight countries, across industries from gritty startups to billion-dollar beasts. But these days, his focus is laser-sharp: helping small business owners grow smarter, faster, and without burning out.

 

A former corporate strategist, Matt realised the real action and real impact, was in small business. So he walked away from the boardroom and rolled up his sleeves. Since then, he’s helped hundreds of businesses sharpen their strategy, lead better teams, and drive serious profit, without the corporate nonsense.

 

He helps Owners & Founders Scale the business, Exit operations and Sell for multiples more than the founders thought possible.

 

He’s the author of The Best Small Business in the World, a straight-talking guide packed with tools that work in the real world (no fluff, no filler, no B.S.).

 

Now based in the Waikato, Matt works exclusively with owners and founders who are all-in on growth. No contracts. No fixed timelines. Just honest advice that works in the real world, tailored strategy, and results that speak for themselves.

Haley Bicknell - Owner Punnet

“We have gone from my business being solely dependent on me as an owner to now having a fully functioning management team that I simply lead. There is no doubt in my mind that without Matt's guidance and expertise i would not enjoy the financial freedom i enjoy today""

Clients

* Awards *

I work with small business owners who want more time, more profit, and the freedom they imagined when they first started their business. Over the years I've figured out the type of person I work best with, and it usually comes down to four things. These are the people who get the best results;

  1. You're in the trenches. You're working in your business, not just on it. You're driven, probably a bit frustrated with how things are going, and you've got a hunch there's a better way. There is.

  2. You're open to learning. You don't need to have all the answers, but you do need to be willing to try new things. I'll bring the shortcuts; you bring the curiosity.

  3. You take action. Ideas are great, but you're the type who actually does stuff. That's where results come from, and it's why my clients tend to move fast.

  4. You're a good bugger. Hard to define, easy to spot. If you treat people well and want to build something you're proud of, we'll get along just fine.

 

If that sounds like you, let's talk.
