Managed Business Partnership

Transfer the management of your business to GrowthLoom for an agreed period. You call the shots and every transaction stays transparent.

Overview

GrowthLoom runs the online side of your business, and where needed its daily operations. You choose how we are paid: a management fee, or a share of net profit. The owner funds the startup costs, and we build the website, the customer channels, the marketing and the reporting.

The business is managed by GrowthLoom over an agreed period. You have a say and you call the shots, and all transactions are transparent for as long as agreed.

Both options start with a one-time setup fee for the things that need setting up, and both are covered by a written agreement. The service suits owners who have an offer that already sells, or a clear market for one, but lack the time, team or online presence to grow it.

Book a fit call

Who it is for

We take on a small number of businesses at a time, because we are paid from profit and must believe the business can make one.

A good fit

✓A service or product people already pay for, such as paperwork and processing services, land and property, retail or local services.
✓Customers who can be reached and served through WhatsApp, search and social media.
✓An owner who can fund the startup budget and will approve large decisions quickly.
✓A business that is, or can be, properly registered for what it sells.

Not a fit

✓Businesses that need us to guarantee sales or a fixed income.
✓Businesses with unresolved legal or ownership disputes.
✓Owners who want to hand over everything with no reporting or approvals.
✓Anything that depends on claims we cannot verify, such as unofficial government approval.

What GrowthLoom does

We run the parts of the business that bring in customers and keep the books honest.

Online presence

Build a simple website with a clear price and a WhatsApp button, and set up WhatsApp Business, a Google Business Profile and one set of social accounts under one name and logo.

Customer enquiries

Reply to every enquiry fast, track each lead from first message to payment in one sheet, and ask happy customers for reviews.

Marketing

Run referral partnerships, short videos and small paid ads that open WhatsApp, then move money to whatever costs least per enquiry.

Team and operations

Recruit and manage the staff the business needs, and keep the daily workflow running.

Compliance

List the registrations the business needs, and work with the owner's lawyer to complete them before selling anything regulated.

Reporting

Send a weekly numbers update and a monthly statement, and keep the owner able to see every bank account.

How the deal works

Every engagement starts with a one-time setup fee and a written agreement. You then choose one of two ways to pay for the ongoing work.

	Option A: Management fee	Option B: Profit share
How GrowthLoom is paid	A fixed fee set out in the agreement	A share of net profit set out in the agreement
Who carries the risk	The owner. The fee is due whether or not the business makes a profit.	Shared. GrowthLoom earns only if the business makes a profit.
Losses	Do not change the fee	Carried forward and recovered before any profit is shared
Best when	The owner wants a predictable cost	The owner prefers to pay from results
What counts as profit	Not applicable	Cash received minus cash spent, including staff, ads, hosting, tax and professional fees. Government fees collected from customers are not income.

Under both options

✓The setup fee is one-time and is quoted after the business review.
✓The owner pays the startup costs, and GrowthLoom puts in work.
✓The owner approves large spending, borrowing, hiring, and any land or asset purchase in writing.
✓The name, website, social accounts, domain and customer records belong to the owner's business.
✓The agreement sets the term, the notice period and the amounts. We do not guarantee sales or profit.

How it runs

A typical launch takes about 30 days from signing, and registrations can lengthen it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay GrowthLoom anything?

Yes, a one-time setup fee for the things that need setting up. After that you choose a management fee or a profit share, set out in a written agreement.

How much does it cost?

The setup fee and the ongoing terms are quoted after the business review, and we show every line before you pay.

When will I see profit?

We cannot promise a date. Some businesses cover their costs within months and others take longer. You see the numbers every Friday, so you will know.

What if the business loses money?

Under a management fee, the fee is still due, so we set it after the review at a level the business can carry. Under a profit share, losses are carried forward and GrowthLoom earns nothing until they are recovered. Either way, if results are far below plan we cut spending first and talk to you before you put in more.

Who owns the website and accounts?

You do, through the business. If the agreement ends, we hand over all logins and records within 10 days.

Can I stop early?

The agreement sets the term and the notice period. Either side can also end it early for a serious breach that is not fixed within 14 days. Anything GrowthLoom has already earned under the agreement still applies.

Do I stay in control?

Yes. You approve large spending, borrowing, hiring and any land purchase or sale in writing, and you can see every account.
