Three steps, clear prices, and a decision point at each one. You never commit to more than the next step.
Prefer to start small? A single-gap project, such as one automation or a quoting system, is available at a fixed price from £3,000. Founding clients this winter receive the Gap Analysis for £995 and a reduced programme rate.
Every cycle follows the same rhythm, so you always know what is happening and what it is worth. At the end of each cycle we re-score the BVS and agree the next priorities together.
Pick 2–3 gaps from the roadmap, agree how to measure each, map today’s process and design a simpler one.
Write procedures with the people who do the work, build and test automations, and hand owner tasks to named people.
Train the team, run the new way live, fix what breaks, then re-score and report the value gained.
Caelix diagnoses, designs and leads the work. Olu also mentors SME leaders on the government-backed Help to Grow: Management Course, so Caelix works well alongside owners who have completed it and want help putting their growth plan into action.
Trusted specialists, such as automation and ERP partners or bookkeepers, build what we specify and contract with you directly. Your operations or works manager champions the change day to day.
No. Your accountant handles tax and the numbers. Caelix works on what buyers pay for: owner dependency, processes, systems and customer quality. We work alongside your accountant.
Yes. The same work makes the business more profitable and easier to run now. Many owners start because they want their time back, and keep the option to sell later.
About half a day a month, on site or online, plus a 30-minute call every two weeks. Your operations or works manager does more of the day-to-day work with us.
Yes. We sign a confidentiality agreement and frame the work internally as business improvement, which is exactly what it is.
No. We charge a monthly fee. Some owners choose to add a success bonus, agreed upfront, payable only if they sell.
Caelix is independent. Our roadmap identifies which automation pays back and why, which helps when applying for Made Smarter support in your region or other funding, and we then help you put the technology to work.
Yes. We are based in Gloucestershire and work with owners across the UK. Workshops run online; the Gap Analysis on-site day and regular visits happen wherever you are, with the rest of the programme delivered online. Travel beyond the South West and Midlands is charged at cost.
The first 90-day cycle closes two or three gaps and is re-scored at the end. Owners typically see time freed first, then profit, then value.
We will say so at the snapshot or first call, and point you to someone better placed, such as a broker if you want to sell within 12 months.
