Fractional COO Partnership

It’s our job to make the everyday running of your business as effortless as possible for you. If you choose to partner with us, the amount of work you can delegate depends on the monthly or hourly package you’ve opted for.

Your F-COO is not the only team member you’ll need. Please note that this service probably isn’t right for you if you don’t have at least one to two team members.

Our role is to come into your business and clear the bottlenecks stopping you from scaling and growing. Additional positions may be necessary to form a high-performance team that drives long-term business progress. You may have already filled some roles or have future hiring plans.

Most clients already have a small team of contractors, such as a virtual assistant, social media manager, or copywriter. Part of our role is to support you with the day-to-day management and delegation of your team, holding them accountable to the output standard.

If you’re hiring or require a project-based contractor (e.g. an event planner), we also support you in identifying and interviewing the right person for these roles, onboarding them into the team and overseeing them in our day-to-day operations.

The “right time” differs for every business, company or organisation. Those with complex daily operations, offerings, and goals may need one earlier in their growth. Other businesses may never need one.

You’re ready to hire an F-COO if it’s becoming increasingly difficult for you to manage your team or you’re spending too much time on day-to-day operations and not enough time turning creative ideas into action.

You may also desire an internal partner in crime at the leadership level – someone to bounce ideas around, who understands the bigger vision and can interpret your creative thoughts into concrete plans.

Initially, we’ll develop the systems and processes that form the sustainable growth blueprints for your business. While our team will assist in executing these plans, it’s important to note that they cannot serve as a long-term extension of your team, as it’s neither sustainable nor financially viable for you.

We’ll propose improvements in various areas, collaborating with you to set short, mid, and long-term goals. Together, we’ll work towards the finish line as we support and lead your team. The outcome will be a collective effort, and we’ll be responsible for ensuring accountability for deadlines, goals, and day-to-day tasks, including holding you accountable.

An F-COO may seem similar to an OBM (short for Online Business Manager) as they tend to do related jobs. But there are a few key distinctions.

An OBM is primarily a manager.  As you scale your team and operations, you may need high-level support from someone with experience. The OBM takes direction from the CEO and manages the team, projects, and processes accordingly.

An F-COO serves as both a manager and a strategic partner. While they still take direction from the CEO to manage teams, projects, and operations, they also provide valuable strategic suggestions, insights, and an aerial view of the business’s growth trajectory.

An F-COO has more extensive experience and expertise than an average OBM. With a track record of guiding numerous businesses through successes and challenges, including venture capital funding, franchising, licensing, and multi-million-pound deals, we offer executive-level involvement.

Our role is to assist the CEO in making strategic decisions that align with the business vision. The CEO can then step back from day-to-day operations and focus on business development and new ideas.

An F-COO also ensures that the CEO, as a visionary, stays the course. After all, most CEOs need accountability too, and someone on their team to keep them moving in the right direction.
