Private consulting — five clients
We make your business run without you.
A hands-on, founder-led engagement for established trades owners who are still the bottleneck. We install the systems, automation and management layer that took one business to $4M — and freedom.
The problem
The business can't run without you. That's not freedom — it's a job you can't quit.
You built it. Now it owns your week. Every quote, every fire, every decision still routes through you, and growth just means more of that.
The outcome
A business that runs — and grows — without you in it.
- Owner-hours down, capacity up — measured.
- A team that makes the day-to-day calls.
- Systems that hold when you're not there.
- The option to step back, scale, or sell.
The method
From on-the-tools to owner-free.
Map the business
We document how the work actually flows today and find what keeps you stuck in the day-to-day.
Install the systems
CRM, automation and SOPs are built around your business — the same stack we proved to $4M.
Hand over the keys
Your team runs it without you. We measure owner-hours down and capacity up.
What we install
The whole machine — not a slide deck.
An owner-independence roadmap
A clear plan to remove you as the bottleneck, sequenced by impact.
Systems & SOPs
Every core process documented and built so the team runs it without you.
Automation & CRM
The Salty CRM plus custom automation wired into how your business actually works.
A management layer
The roles, rhythms and dashboards that keep it running when you step back.
By application only
Five clients at a time. Engagements from $40,000/month.
The work is hands-on and personally led, so we cap it at five businesses at once. It’s built for established trades and home-services owners — roughly $1–5M in revenue — who are ready to rebuild the machine, not just tweak it.
