We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
John F. Kennedy, 1962
WHAT DOES JFK'S SPEECH HAVE TO DO WITH growing a BUSINESS?
For me, putting a man on the moon is one of mankind's most historic achievements. It required amazing levels of team effort, hard work, finance, systems, incredible innovations in technology and, above all, vision and leadership.
Turning a company from a start-up into a scale-up requires these same attributes. And clear-minded focus.
My name is Darryl Morton and I help leadership teams focus on:
- strategy and planning;
- getting investment-ready; and
- advising on how/where to raise finance to grow your business.

Preparing for Growth
Do you have the right foundations to achieve sustainable growth and success? Is your business plan invest-able?
I have walked the path of taking a business from a blank sheet of paper to an 8-figure exit. I wish I knew back then what I know now!
Are you measuring the right things? Are you ready to receive investment?
Strategic Challenge
Preparing for Growth
Preparing for Growth
Everyone can do "strategy", but has anyone in your management team looked at your strategy critically? Are you guilty of group-think? How robust is your plan?
As an external adviser, who is not involved in the day activity of running the business, I am able to provide critical thinking, challenge and maintain a focus on the big picture.
Raising Finance

Raising Finance
We can assist with helping you access finance to grow your business whether that be through bank loans, angel investors or venture capital.
A significant consideration when raising finance or selling a business is the due diligence process.
How prepared are you? Do you understand the negative impact that it can have on value?
