Overcome
growth barriers

As a small bakery owner struggling with rising costs, I was hesitant about hiring Carlton Scott. However, their practical, down-to-earth approach made all the difference. They helped streamline our ordering process, reducing waste by 25%, and introduced a cost-effective local marketing strategy that boosted our weekend sales by 40%. Their suggestions for staff scheduling have saved us £1,200 monthly in overtime costs. While most of their advice was spot-on, some of the digital solutions suggested were a bit beyond our current budget. What I appreciated most was how they understood the challenges of a family-run business.

I can’t thank Parb and the team at Carlton Scott enough! As the director of my company, I struggled with how to step back while preserving the legacy I built. Parb worked with me to create the perfect exit strategy, ensuring a seamless handover and continued growth for the business. His expertise and personalised guidance were invaluable—I now feel confident about my next chapter.

I can’t thank Carlton Scott enough! Their mentorship completely transformed how I approached my business, and now I feel unstoppable. Highly recommend!

Starting a cleaning business was one thing, but scaling it properly was another challenge entirely. Carlton Scott helped us transform from a husband-and-wife team to managing 12 staff. Their guidance on service standardisation, pricing structure, and employee onboarding was practical and easy to implement. We’ve seen our monthly revenue increase from £4,000 to £15,000. The only drawback was that some of their initial reporting requirements were too time-consuming for our small team, but they quickly adjusted to make it more manageable.

Honestly wasn’t sure if Carlton Scott would ‘get’ the wellness industry, but wow! They helped me transition from teaching 24/7 to running a proper business. Carlton Scott’s financial system showed exactly where I was leaving money on the table with my pricing structure. Now have 2 locations, 8 teachers, and finally paying myself a proper salary! Still using the business planning template they provided. Quick tip: do the pre-work they send – it makes the sessions so much more valuable. Carlton Scott’s ongoing support has been worth its weight in gold.

As a small accountancy practice with 3 staff members, I was struggling to differentiate our services from larger firms. Carlton Scott provided practical strategies that didn’t require massive investment. Advice on niche specialisation and client relationship management helped us increase our client retention rate to 95%. They also guided us through implementing basic automation that saved 15 hours per week in administrative tasks. What really stood out was their understanding of cash flow challenges in small businesses.
