We're Relaunching! Introducing Our New Programmes and suyb.global ??

I just want to share with you today, a really exciting message from me to you, to everyone who has supported Scale Up Your Business over the last 18 months, to everyone who has listened to my rambling podcast episodes, to everyone who has joined the Scale Up Your Business community on Facebook and the people who have attended the various events that I've run and some of the programs that I've also launched. It's been an amazing ride and for those of you who have listened to the journey I've been on for the last few years, you know it started with a kind of, need to give back and to get a lot of the stuff that was in my head out into the world. It wasn't always an easy journey to do that, and I struggled when I first launched the podcast. I think it took me a few months to actually build up the courage to actually go and put myself out there. But if I reflect back over that time, I'm incredibly grateful for you, for the support and for everything that has happened up to now.

So, something a little bit different really has come from all this. Today I'm excited to let you know that we are relaunching Scale Up Your Business, the brand, the business that underpins that brand now, because we've started to see some different things going on in the marketplace. We're seeing, particularly as we go through COVID and some of the changes in dynamics that are going on right now, more now than ever, people will need help with their business, and they need to have insights around growth and scale up. There's a huge opportunity to create value right now, many, many of the great businesses of all time were built through disruption and people are starting to sense that if they're going to take action, now is the time to do it.

So, as a result of all that insight, what clients have said to me, people I coach and mentor people who listened to the podcast, the private equity and venture capital funds that we work with on various scale-up initiatives, they've come back, and they've said that there needs to be a different way of doing scale-up. And so off the back of that, we created the Six Peaks of Value Creation, and I've talked about that in the podcast, and I talked about that previously, but off the back of that, we've created a number of partnership programs where we can now come into businesses where the founder, the leadership team have the ambition to really grow and scale their businesses to exit for say eight to nine figures to probably a strategic buyer or Private Equity within a three-year horizon.

That program is called The Growth Accelerator Partnership. You can join that or you can go and have a look at that on our new website, which is now launched. The website is suyb.global, and you'll get some information about that program on there.

Equally, we've also been asked by more and more investors, how we can go and work on their portfolio companies. So, as a result of that, we've created another partnership program, which is called the Maximise Value Partnership, and that's effectively where we can come into one of those investor backed businesses, make sure that the investment that has been put in is used precisely in a focused way with the right intention, so that those first few moves that the founder or founding team needs to really sort of focus and invest into, get that traction, to get that result, is made properly. Quite often, you know, lots of times you get that first investment, and you think I'm going to go and build a team, I'm going to go and hire lots of people. Not always the best way. Sometimes you've got to start with the processes first and the processes then dictate what capabilities are required. So, both of those partnership programs, the Growth Accelerator Partnership and the Maximise Value Partnership is our way of really embedding and supporting ambitious leaders on their growth and scale up journey.

As I said, you know, our pathway, our experiences, it’s how you create value, you know, value that other people want to invest in, buy-into to create those capital events, those exits. So, our focus is fully on leaders who have that ambition who have that goal in mind. That's where we know we've positioned the business, it's where Scale Up Your Businesses is going. It's really starting to take that scale-up space and, you know, act, as I said, with more certainty around the dimensions that you need to be able to put into your business. So, you know, as I said, first and foremost, thank you to everyone who supported this journey, it's been an amazing ride, I'm incredibly grateful. If any of those partnerships or programs are for you or you want to look at any of the other services that are now created to support your growth and scale-up journey, go visit us on our new website, it's: suyb.global and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
