Business Model Optimisation — our core speciality

You're growing.
Why are your margins shrinking?

We map out exactly where your business model is costing you money — and fix it. Every engagement is structured around your outcomes, not our billable hours.

What Sets Us Apart
No result, no fee — fee tied to margin improvement
Business Model Canvas (Osterwalder framework)
Strategic Growth Diagnostic — top 3 bottlenecks
Unit economics analysis and 3-year financial projection
Operational process design and documentation
Named senior consultant — contractually on your project
60-day post-delivery accountability review
Fixed-scope proposal — agreed before work begins

Not all consultancies fit everyone.

We work best with a specific type of client. If this sounds like you, let's talk.

Primary Client

The Scaling Founder

Founder / Managing Director · 10–50 employees, £1M–£10M turnover

Business was built on hustle and instinct. It grew. Now the founding playbook isn't working anymore. The cracks are showing — approvals pile up, processes break when key people are absent, margins are shrinking even as revenue rises. You know something is broken but can't name it precisely.

  • "We're growing but the business doesn't feel like it's working for us."
  • "Everything requires me — I can't step away for a week."
  • "Revenue is up but profit is down. We're working harder than ever."
Also a Good Fit

The Operator at the Inflection Point

Operations Director / CEO / MD · Established business seeking external perspective

You're running a business that needs a structured external review — market expansion, operational efficiency, pricing strategy, or a new business model for a changed market. You've been through consultants before who gave you frameworks but not implementation.

  • "We need a structured approach to improving our unit economics."
  • "Market expansion — but we don't know what our model should look like."
  • "We're too cheap to be credible and too expensive to win on price."
Strategic Accounts

The Fundraising Founder

Founder / CEO · Pre-Series A or growth-stage startup

Investors are asking about your business model and unit economics — and you're not sure how to answer crisply. You've built traction but the model that got you here won't get you to the next level. You need a coherent, defensible story built on real numbers.

  • "Investors want to see unit economics — we don't have a clear model."
  • "We're growing fast but CAC is unsustainable."
  • "We need to explain our business model in a way that's coherent and compelling."
Typical Consultant

Hand you a framework.
Recommend what's already on the shelf.

Most consultants hand you a Business Model Canvas and leave you to figure out implementation. Strategy without execution is worthless.

PBA Ventures

Fixed-scope. Named consultant.
Working from your reality.

We map out exactly where your business model is costing you money — and we stay until it's fixed. You'll walk away knowing exactly which parts are working, which are secretly bleeding you dry, and what to do about both.

Two services. One principle:

We only make money when you make money. Every engagement is structured around your outcomes, not our billable hours.

Database Reactivation

Your existing contacts are already warm — they just need to be reminded you exist. We go through your database, identify the leads worth re-engaging, and run a structured reactivation campaign that brings them back at a fraction of the cost of winning new ones.

Pricing Model
Milestone fee per reactivated contact — no upfront cost, fee tied to revenue
  • Full database audit — warm vs. cold segmentation
  • Contact data validation and job-title updates
  • Personalised re-engagement outreach campaigns
  • Response handling and appointment setting
  • Full reporting — contacts reached, responses, meetings booked
  • Works in HubSpot, Pipedrive & Salesforce daily
  • Named senior consultant — contractually committed
