Practical growth support for UK service businesses

A clearer direction. A practical plan. Support to move forward.

Our 90-Day Growth Plan helps you understand your business, set realistic targets and focus on the actions that matter—from winning customers to improving cash flow and organising your next stage of growth.

A business review, a focused action plan and scheduled support over 90 days.

You know your trade. But what should you do next to grow the business?

When you’re busy delivering the work, it can be difficult to step back and decide what needs to change.

  • Work comes in, but not consistently enough.
  • You’re spending time on marketing without a clear picture of what works.
  • You don’t have a reliable view of sales, costs or cash flow.
  • You have growth ambitions, but no clear priorities or targets.
  • Too much of the business depends on you handling everything.

We help you turn those concerns into a focused plan—with clear actions, responsibilities and progress reviews.

More than a plan that sits in a folder

  • Business baseline

    A practical review of your offer, customers, marketing, finances and operations using the information available.

  • Useful business measures

    A simple view of the numbers that matter, such as enquiries, sales conversion, revenue, margins and capacity. We identify missing information rather than pretending it already exists.

  • Clear 90-day targets

    Agreed priorities and measurable targets grounded in your starting position and available resources.

  • Prioritised action plan

    A written plan showing what needs to happen, who owns each action and when it should be completed.

  • Marketing and resource priorities

    Recommendations on where to focus your customer-acquisition effort and what time, tools or people you may need.

  • Progress reviews

    Scheduled check-ins to review results, resolve obstacles and adjust the plan.

Review. Plan. Act. Improve.

  1. Month 1

    Understand and prioritise

    Review your business, establish the available baseline, agree targets and create your initial action plan.

  2. Month 2

    Put the priorities into action

    Support progress on the agreed marketing, sales or operational priorities and review early results.

  3. Month 3

    Improve and plan the next stage

    Assess progress, refine what is working and agree the priorities for your next 90 days.

You remain responsible for running your business and completing agreed actions. Startup Assist provides the review, planning, guidance and agreed support.

Choose the level of support your business needs

Both options follow the same review–plan–action structure. The difference is the depth of analysis, business complexity and level of support.

See what each part involves
Online kick-off review session
We discuss your business, your goals and your biggest challenges, review any existing business plan and agree what you want to achieve over the next 90 days.
Detailed business questionnaire
A practical questionnaire covering your services, customers, marketing, finances, resources and day-to-day challenges, so we start from the facts.
Personalised 90-day action plan and business financial plan
Once you have returned your completed questionnaire and the information agreed at kick-off, you receive a prioritised plan. It sets out what to do, when to do it and how to measure progress, with recommendations for attracting customers and improving how the business runs. The financial plan is a practical plan for the business’s finances, not personal, tax or accounting advice.
Weekly 15-minute online check-ins
A short check-in each week to review progress, work through obstacles and agree your next actions. Decisions and actions are recorded so you always know what comes next.
Monthly progress reviews
Once a month, one check-in focuses on your results and on adjusting the plan where needed.
Clear next steps beyond the programme
At the end of the 90 days, we review what has changed and agree your priorities for the next stage.

You take the actions. We provide the direction, practical guidance and accountability.

If funding is a priority, your plan will include preparation steps. Funding applications and specialist support are scoped and priced separately.

See what each part involves
Deep review of sales, marketing, targets, finances and resources
We review your goals, recent financial performance, sales and marketing, team responsibilities and delivery capacity. Together, we identify where growth is being held back and where improvement could have the greatest impact.
Detailed business questionnaire
A practical questionnaire covering your services, customers, marketing, finances, resources and day-to-day challenges, so we start from the facts.
Prioritised 90-day growth plan, built towards your 1 to 5 year targets
You receive an agreed plan with measurable targets, named responsibilities and clear deadlines. We focus on the most important opportunities rather than producing a long list of recommendations.
Regular online working sessions
Sessions at an agreed frequency give us time to review results, tackle decisions and work through the changes needed—not simply check whether tasks have been completed.
Hands-on support with two priority improvements
Together we choose two priority improvements and help you develop them and put them into use during the programme. Depending on your priorities, these could include:
  • Resources needed to support and serve a growing business
  • Financial management support and funding preparation
  • A sales pipeline and follow-up process
  • A customer-acquisition plan with practical messages and activity targets
  • A documented delivery or delegation process
Business performance dashboard
We help you track a small set of useful measures, such as enquiries, sales conversion, revenue, margins and delivery capacity, using information your business can reasonably provide.
Next-stage roadmap
At the end of the programme, you receive a review of progress and clear recommendations for achieving your business goals.

You remain responsible for running your business. We work alongside you to turn agreed priorities into practical tools, processes and actions.

Specialist advice, advertising spend, software costs and substantial done-for-you work are outside the programme unless explicitly agreed.

Book a call about your growth plan

Not sure which option fits? We’ll discuss your business and recommend the appropriate level of support before you commit.

What is not included

Both plans focus on review, planning and agreed guidance. Advertising spend, third-party software and external suppliers are not included unless specifically agreed. Done-for-you marketing, website development, advertising management, funding applications, and accountancy or legal advice are outside the scope of both plans unless separately scoped and agreed. Results are not guaranteed.

A good fit if you’re ready to take action

This is for business owners who want a clearer direction and are willing to share the information available, make decisions and carry out agreed actions.

  • You have a service business to review and develop.
  • You can make time for the scheduled sessions and agreed actions.
  • You want practical priorities rather than a lengthy theoretical report.
  • You’re willing to measure progress and adjust your approach.

If you’re still exploring an idea or need a different type of support, we’ll say so before recommending an engagement.
