Is that beauty in the spreadsheets
a beast in the operations?

Congratulations on your business purchase

Congratulations
on your business purchase

Going from dreaming to doing is a huge achievement. Whether you bought this as a new income stream or strategic advantage, you are at the start of an exciting journey.

Oh, the thrill *and the overwhelm

After all the effort of finding the right deal and managing brokers and accountants, you are finally at the starting line. You have big ideas for this acquisition, but there is a challenge you might not want to admit: doing it all yourself is exhausting. You will need support as you work on earning employee trust, learn the ropes, and balance your other commitments. That is where I come in!

Hi, I'm Asmara

Hi, I'm Asmara

Hi, I'm Asmara

I am your partner on this journey to improve operations and get the most out of your investment. Throughout my career, I have helped organizations across industries save over 800,000 hours of work time (equivalent to 91 years, pretty solid for a 30-something!).

My favourite running quip is I know exactly how much it costs to ignore my advice: £163 million. That was the fine levied on a large bank after they shrugged off the regulatory risk I highlighted in their processes. My success comes from my signature approach to operations dubbed "One Deed, Many Needs" to unlock the most benefits with the least effort.

Here is how we will do it

We can initiate an engagement for 6, 9, or 12 months. I will assess and transform the business by considering and leading improvements in the following seven areas.

We can initiate an engagement for 6, 9, or 12 months. I will assess and transform the business by considering and leading improvements in the following seven areas.

Perspective

Aligning the business with your vision while evaluating existing practices and key metrics for effectiveness

People

Understanding stakeholder needs across owners, employees, suppliers, and clients to identify gaps and opportunities

Process

Optimising workflows for efficiency while ensuring clear documentation and training resources

Platforms

Evaluating tools to maximise return on resources (time, energy, and money) through the entire business system using smart automation and integration

Product Experience

Enhancing customer satisfaction while maintaining employee well-being and engagement. The same premise applies to service-based businesses (I am only keeping the alliteration!)

Purposeful Profit Creation

Identifying cost savings and new revenue opportunities so that this money goes on assignment for you, the company, and the communities you serve

Praxis

Ensuring regulatory compliance and that lessons learned are implemented swiftly. All while leveraging system-wide insights from the other six areas to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and enjoyment for all

This Could Be You

This Could Be You

The to-do list will still have personal items like ballet recitals and gym sessions, but running this business will not be on it unless you want it to be! When you have a brilliant idea, making it happen is as easy as telling me about it. I can help make it happen by effectively utiising our resources and matching the right people to the task. You will see your vision become a reality while staying hands-off with the day-to-day operations. The business runs smoothly and generates income, freeing you to focus on what matters most.

Soon it will be time to plan that overdue holiday!

Versus the investment of a full-time COO

A full-time COO will run you about £135K (by the most conservative of estimates), and that is before any bonuses, benefits, or holiday pay. If you want to be a Scrooge, call that £15K (you will struggle to get top talent at this level). Additionally, the consensus is it takes about 30% of an Executive annual salary to complete the search, interview, and onboarding process. All of that adds up, and soon enough, you are looking at upwards of £200K to hire a quality full-time COO.

FAQ

Why should I hire a fractional COO?

I am full of ideas on how to improve things. Can I not do this myself?

When is the best time to bring you on?

I understand you are fractional, but I want an Operator to take over the day-to-day so I can be hands-off. How does that figure into this?

For enjoyable, effective and efficient acquisitions

Caring is more effective than Curing. Because 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' is a myth. If you wait for it to break, it'll be far more expensive (time, energy, and money) to fix. You, your new venture, and all the people it impacts deserve better!
