Out of the Box Consultants works with established business owners to scale the business, build its value and be ready for whatever comes next. We map where things stand and write a plan in plain language. You decide what to do with it.
Your first consultation is free, by phone or Zoom. Businesses of all sizes are welcome.
Many capable owners run a business that works, but only while they are in the middle of it. They cannot easily say what holds it back, what drives its value or whether it is ready for whatever they choose next. We answer those questions in plain language and in writing, so you can build a business that is easier to grow and easier to hand over.
For owners who want a new revenue stream, we also assess readiness for government contracting, with independent partners for the specialist steps.
We see the same three gaps again and again, and they are what our work is built around.
The business has many possible fixes, and no one has put them in order or said which one comes first.
The owner cannot say what drives the value of the business or what would raise it.
Decisions, relationships and know-how sit with one person, so the business is harder to grow and harder to hand over.
Whatever the question, we use the same four steps, scaled to the size of your business.
We listen, then map how the business earns, delivers and decides, and where you sit in each.
We name what is holding growth back, where the business depends on you and what shapes its value.
We put the fixes in order and write them down, with the reasoning.
We walk you through the plan so you know what to do first and what your options look like.
We keep the work simple and fit it to the question you are trying to answer.
We start by understanding your business and goals before we recommend anything.
We separate what matters now from what can wait, so the plan is short enough to act on.
You receive a written plan with clear priorities and next steps that you and your team can follow.
Knowing the limits helps you decide whether we are the right fit.
We work with established business owners who want to grow, run the business with less of themselves in the middle, understand what it is worth, or add a new revenue stream.
If you are not sure we are a fit, book a free consultation and we will tell you plainly.
