Common Questions
It's strongly recommended but not required. The MRI is free and takes 15 minutes — it gives Paul a clear picture of your business before any conversation, which makes every subsequent session significantly more valuable. Most people find it the natural starting point.
The Business Freedom Method™ is designed for owner-managed businesses — typically with between 2 and 50 employees and turnover between £250,000 and £5 million. The diagnostic works for any sector, though Paul has particular expertise in professional services, construction, and trades.
The Founder's Session is a single 45-minute conversation focused on your Primary Constraint — a one-off diagnostic and directional session. Retained advisory is an ongoing relationship where Paul works directly in your business on a monthly basis, covering financial oversight, strategic direction and implementation accountability.
The Business MRI™ is available immediately — online, free, no booking required. Founder's Recovery Sessions are usually available within 1-2 weeks. Workshop dates are quarterly at Biggin Hill and monthly at GB10. Retained advisory engagements typically begin within 2-4 weeks of an initial conversation.
No. The Business Freedom Method™ works equally well for businesses that are performing well but want to grow, or for owners who feel trapped despite having a successful business. The diagnostic is as useful for a £2m business planning its next phase as it is for a business navigating a difficult period.
Yes — the Business Freedom Method™ is available under white-label licence for accountancy firms and advisory practices. The licence includes the Business MRI™ diagnostic under your own branding, training, and ongoing support. Contact Paul to discuss the options.
