Founder: 3x exits

Advisor: 50+ exits

NonExec: 20+ roles

My clients make £7.5M on average

Hey I’m Alex Arnot. I spent 10+ years building and successfully selling 3 companies and now help other founders to scale faster and exit bigger. In the last 10 years, I have already helped 50+ clients achieve successful exits, sharing £100Ms.

I offer 3 services (121 mentor, board advisor or consulting – see below).

My Services

I’ve built and sold businesses myself, so I know exactly what it takes.

Whether raising, scaling, or preparing for exit, I help founders avoid the mistakes no one warns you about, build greater value, and achieve future exits right at the top of the market.

Board advisor. Cancel anytime.

99% of founders fail to exit. That’s the brutal reality. But not under my watch. Using my experience of attending 1,000+ board meetings and helping 50+ founders to scale faster and exit bigger, I help directors each month in their board meetings to build amazing companies that are engineered to be bought, not sold.

Mentor. Cancel anytime.

It can be lonely at the top. How can you be sure you are making the best decisions? My clients see me as their trusted advisor they can bounce ideas off. Someone who has been there, done that numerous times. Whether raising, scaling, or preparing for exit, I help founders accelerate revenue & profit and create greater personal wealth.

Fractional Consulting. Project based.

Some of my clients need that little bit more. Special projects including being their fractional CEO for a period of time, developing their senior leadership team for succession planning or helping boost critical business areas such as sales and marketing with new ideas. Happy to have an initial call to discuss.
