What a GrowthIQ engagement actually delivers.

Established in 2020, the business had real momentum — five staff, a blue-chip funder as anchor customer, and vendor registrations with top facilities-management companies — but growth depended entirely on the owner, and the next stage needed structure.

The programme assessed the business and built an FY2027 growth plan on three horizons: market readiness in the first three months, internal processes and staff training by month six, then national expansion and long-term contracts beyond that. Each action item carries an owner, a deadline and a live status.

Revenue grew 31% year-on-year, a second regular customer landed, and a motivated support package — accounting support, vehicle capacity, admin infrastructure — was structured and approved through the programme.

The facility scored strongly on entrepreneurial drive but the assessment surfaced concrete gaps: pricing that needed review, no system for recording revenue and expenses, and an operating licence still outstanding.

GrowthIQ's GAP assessment scores every business across 7 categories — actual against potential — and turns the gaps into Identify/Decide actions. Here it prioritised three focus areas: business model, legal compliance and operations. A 10-session mentorship programme was structured to work through them, from assessment to exit report.

Instead of a generic checklist, the owner left with a scored baseline, three named priorities, and a mentor walking a defined programme — with progress visible to both the business and its sponsor.
