Work with me / Retained Partner
Retained partnership
Retained Partner
£3,500 +VAT / month
Ongoing strategic involvement across commercial, operational, and financial priorities, with direct access between sessions. The retainer is flat because the scope isn't.
The business needs more than advice now. It needs someone working on it with you.
Growth is real, but it still runs through you. Pipeline, pricing, how the business runs day to day and where a hire is overdue are all live at once, and you can't carry all of them and sell.
As Retained Partner I work alongside you on whichever is the real constraint, then the next one, so the business stops depending on you being in every room.
Who it's for
- Founders past the early stage, with revenue coming in
- Growth that depends on you personally
- Several priorities live at once, across revenue, numbers and team

Questions
What does the fee cover?
The retainer is flat because the scope isn't. It flexes around whatever the business needs next, whether that's pipeline, pricing, how the business runs day to day, or where a hire is overdue. There is no performance component in this tier.
How is this different from Founder Line?
Founder Line is a monthly call with message access in between. Retained Partner is ongoing involvement across the business, with direct access between sessions.
When would a performance component make sense?
When there's a specific trigger, such as a funded growth push or a pricing change already in motion. That's the Retainer + Performance tier.
