BEFORE YOU MAKE THE LEAP
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Who is this for?
Experienced recruiters with a track record of £180,000+ annual billings, at least two years in their sector, strong client relationships and the ambition to run a business.
How does the investment work?
We discuss your market, goals and funding needs, then agree a partnership structure before launch. Investment, ownership and salary support are tailored to the agreed business plan.
What equity will I retain?
The ownership split is agreed individually. We explain the proposed structure and responsibilities clearly before either side commits.
Can you help with restrictive covenants?
We can help you understand the issues to consider and obtain appropriate legal advice. Existing obligations need to be assessed before launch; a partnership does not remove them.
How quickly can I launch?
Timing depends on your circumstances, notice period, existing obligations and setup requirements. We agree a realistic launch plan after the initial conversation.
Can you support an existing agency?
We are open to conversations with agency owners looking for a growth partner. Tell us where your business is today and what you want to achieve.
