Know what is holding your business back — and what to do next.
Business Development Day
In one day, we assess your business, find the biggest constraints and opportunities, and turn them into a prioritized plan for what to fix, improve or grow next.
Apply NowFor SMEs and CEOs
Your business does not lack things to improve. It lacks clarity on what to fix first.
- Better communication between teams.
- More qualified leads and better sales process.
- Less owner or key man dependency.
- Clear accountability so that tasks get done.
- Maybe your systems create more work than they remove.
- You have grown a lot, people are getting stretched, and progress is slowing.
- Or maybe the business is doing well — but you know there is another level in it.
The problem is rarely finding something to improve.
The problem is knowing what to do next.
Business Development Day = a structured outside view of the business, so you can scale your business.
The goal is not to find everything.
It is to find what matters most.

How the day works
-
Before the day
I do all the preparation.
-
Morning
We start with where the business is today, where you want it to go and what challenges you're facing.
-
During the day
We walk through the company, its operations, systems and ways of working. Then we go deeper into the important areas with you and the relevant people.
-
Before I leave
We go through the clearest findings from the day. You already know where my attention is going.
-
Within five business days
You receive your Business Scorecard and Business Development Roadmap. We go through them together and turn the findings into decisions and next actions.
Who this is for
Business Development Day is designed for SME owners and CEOs who know there is more potential in their company.
Any of these sound familiar?
- you give tasks but they don't get done
- the company has grown faster than its processes
- you want better margins, growth or operational efficiency
- information is scattered, outdated or in people's heads
- too much depends on few key people
- there are several problems competing for attention
- growth has slowed or become harder
- you are preparing the company for its next stage or an exit
- you simply want an experienced outside view of the whole business
Not for someone looking for a motivational workshop or another strategy presentation.
We help your business reach its potential and level up.
Operator, not observer.
I have worked with dozens of businesses across industries — building, operating and improving companies rather than only advising them.
I built the largest precious metals recycling business in the Nordics from zero to €50 million in revenue in four years, eventually serving as COO responsible for sales, IT and business development.
I rebuilt an IT team from seven people to three, after which the team delivered a third-generation application and three major features in six months.
I helped launch a new car inspection business that achieved the highest first-month inspection volume of any new station in Finland.
Our team has built processes and systems for Fortune 500 companies, insurance, high frequency trading, small business owners, and everything in between.
Today I work with companies on growth, operations, systems, technology and business development — getting things done.
The advantage of outside eyes is not knowing your industry better than you do.
It is seeing things from a completely new perspective.

Straight answers
- “We know our business.”
- You do. The wins hide in assumptions everyone inside stopped noticing.
- “We are already developing.”
- Great! The day validates you whether you're building the right thing before you spend another six months on it.
- “We’re slammed.”
- One day of your time. All the preparation is mine.
- “Just quote the project.”
- A blind quote is a guess. The day is how it gets right.
- “Is it confidential?”
- Completely. Mutual NDA signed at kickoff if you want one.
- “What happens after?”
- Your call. Most run the plan themselves. Some ask me to drive it, and that is discussed at delivery.
