Plug your business into the team, the systems, and the network that grow revenue, rebuild margin, and make a company run without its founder, the same playbooks we use before we take a business to market.
Most advisors pick a lane. We work the whole P&L, because revenue, margin, people, and systems are one machine, and the constraint keeps moving.
Find the growth already paid for before buying new growth.
Structural cost moves, not line-item trimming.
The team that lets the business run without you in every room.
Decisions made from numbers, not gut feel.
This is what a growth consultancy can't give you. The people advising you every week are the same people who value businesses, run sale processes, and negotiate with buyers for a living. So every decision gets made twice, once for this year's profit, once for what a buyer will pay for it later. When you do decide to sell, there's no handover: we already know the business better than any adviser you'd hire at that point.
Advice doesn't change a business. Follow-through does. The engagement runs on a fixed rhythm so decisions get made, owned, and checked.
Sixty minutes with you and your leadership team. You bring the decisions in front of you, pricing, hires, spend, suppliers, and leave with the calls made and the next moves owned.
WeeklyPrivate chat with the advisory network plus Hugo's WhatsApp. Deals, hires, supplier problems, you get an answer while the decision is live, not next Tuesday.
Always onWe build the KPI set that predicts your P&L, then review it against target every month: what worked, what gets killed, and next month's priorities, each with one owner and one number.
MonthlyStep back from the machine: where the business is going, the OKRs that get it there, what we stop doing, and what the next quarter has to prove.
QuarterlyDesigners, email teams, media buyers, retail brokers, manufacturers, recruiters. Operators we've already used in our own portfolio, introduced directly, with us still in the room.
On demandWhat your business is worth today, what would move the multiple, and how a buyer will read every decision you're making now, from the desk that runs the processes.
As it comes upEvery playbook we bring into your business was written running ours, or inside a portfolio company where the result showed up in the P&L.
From an idea to $75m in sales, 150 people and four offices, then a stake sold to private equity at 12× EBITDA, against a 3–6× category norm.
Demand was never the problem. New manufacturing, a conversion-first site and a scalable marketing engine were.
Rebuilt manufacturing and supplier terms, margin recovered without touching the price the customer pays.
US and UK, in 90 days. Retail-ready packaging, custom PDQ displays and a retail pricing model that protected DTC.
Across the portfolio, the hires that turn a founder-run company into a management-run one.
Built across 15 portfolio companies and the mandates our M&A desk has taken to market.
Most advisors have only ever advised. We built and sold our own company first, and the functions you'd otherwise hire one by one sit on the same bench.
We built Creed Media from an idea to 150 people, four offices and $75m in sales, then sold a stake to private equity. We don't start businesses, we fix and grow established ones, finding the value stuck inside them and making them worth far more, alongside great founders.
Hugo leads the weekly sessions himself. Behind him, the functions you'd otherwise hire separately:
No scoping negotiations, no change orders, no hourly billing. You get the bench, the cadence, and the network, flat, monthly.
Rolling monthly, reviewed each quarter. Stay because it pays for itself, not because a contract says so.
Free 15-minute intro first. We take on a handful of advisory clients at a time.
“I originally engaged Hugo from Leprince to prepare my business for M&A. Through this process he identified a significant gap, my lack of enterprise clients. He then proceeded to train myself and my team on the acquisition of high-end enterprise clients, which we have successfully been landing for the last 3 months. Extremely happy with the engagement so far and look forward to the long-term partnership.”
Consultants deliver a report and leave. We're in the business every week, on the calls, in the chat, following the same KPIs you do, and we stay while the plan gets executed. The unit of work is a decision made and a number moved, not a deck. And because we also sell businesses for a living, every recommendation is scored on what it does to your profit now and to your price later.
No. Most advisory clients aren't in a process and some never will be. The changes that make a business more profitable and less founder-dependent are exactly what a buyer pays a premium for, so you win either way, and the option stays open.
Sixty minutes with you and whoever owns the week's topics. We review the scorecard, pressure-test the decisions in front of you, and leave with the next actions, each with an owner and a number to check next week.
When the plan needs a capability you don't have, a designer, an email team, a retail broker, a manufacturer, a key hire, we introduce you directly to people we've already worked with in our own portfolio. You contract with them; we stay involved so the work meets the plan.
Then we say so, and bring in the operator who executes, that's what the network is for. What we won't do is quietly become your agency: our seat is beside you, running the whole machine, not inside one channel.
Hugo leads the sessions. Depending on what's live, the value creation, M&A or talent side of the team joins for the parts they own. You're not handed to a junior after the sales call.
Monthly, reviewed quarterly. If the engagement isn't visibly paying for itself in the P&L, we'd rather part ways than coast, we take on a handful of advisory clients at a time and every seat has to earn its place.
A free 15-minute discovery call. If it looks like a fit on both sides, we run a paid deep-dive session on where value is stuck, and you decide from there whether the ongoing engagement makes sense. No pressure to commit on the first call.
We keep the advisory small on purpose, the value is in the attention. If your business is doing $1m+ and you want it materially bigger and worth more, start with a conversation.
A free 15-minute intro: your business, where it's stuck, and whether the advisory is the right fit. No pitch deck, no obligation.
