How to Take Your Business to the Next Level, Make More Money and Grow During Challenging Economic Times Ahead...


The Business Map is a unique opportunity for a small group of business owners, directors and entrepreneurs to build a more profitable business during turbulent times.  Systematically, strategically, and step-by-step.  With one-to-one support from 5 of Scotland's most experienced business experts and entrepreneurs...

  • Invest time working "ON" your business as opposed to just "IN" it (escape the daily grind)
  • Transform your business with proven, practical and immediately usable methods of organising and running a thriving business in the real world.
  • Programme participation strictly limited to 12 places (maximum).  No two competing organisations will be accepted
  • Assess where your business is going and define exactly what you should be doing - every minute of every day - to maximise the 5 key pillars of your organisation: your strategy, marketing, people, performance, and finances
  • Discover the changes you must make within your business IF you desire to make more money, in less time, with far fewer hassles and headaches in the process.  You'll become a better leader, too.
  • Participate in 6 easy to follow and powerful modules over four months.  No fluff.  No theory.  This is NOT an academic exercise.
  • Confidential programme (no video or audio will be recorded).  All inclusive - pay one flat fee for everything.  No hidden costs.

We are currently seeking a select group of business owners, directors and entrepreneurs who are determined to build a more profitable business during the challenging economic times ahead.  But before we say more about The Business Map and how you can apply, here are some examples of the remarkable results the programme is helping people to achieve:

Umer Ashraf, Founder, iCafe

Photo of Umer Ashraf, Founder, iCafeBefore participating in The Business Map, Umer was preoccupied with the daily grind.  He didn't realise what he was doing well or even where his profit was really coming from.  And although Umer had staff working in both his stores, basically his business was still a one man operation: he was working, driving, operating... and sometimes even stalling the business! Things had to change.  Umer completed The Business Map in February 2008, and he's now 'let go', allowing his staff to do the day-to-day running of each store.  Today, iCafe is a well structured business, with a managing director running the operation on Umer's behalf.  A third iCafe store will open soon, with the franchise set to launch in 2009.  "I am now very much working ON my business rather than IN it," says Umer.

Ian McEwan, Managing Director, AKP

He now had to decide whether or not to grow and expand the business, or consolidate and maintain its current size. The latter was never really an option to Ian who knew the opportunity was there to double turnover over the next five years. So, Ian turned to The Business Map, for clarity and assurance on his plans for the strategic development of AKP.  In particular, he sought the confidence to make his vision a reality. "We're now consistently winning £1m plus contracts and that's not something we were doing a short time ago", says Ian. What's more, since completing The Business Map, AKP has increased its head count from 60 to 100 people, and the rapid growth continues. Ian also decided to send his Operations Manager on the most recent programme.

Bob Hannah, Proprietor, The Business Insurance Bureau

Life changing things are happening here.  I'm humbled and grateful to everyone involved.", says Bob.

The Power of The Business Map

These are just a few examples of the power of The Business Map to help key business people from a range of circumstances take their operation to the next level.  And that's what makes this programme so amazing.  If you faithfully apply the principles, with input and direction from our 5 experts along the way, you will inevitably build a more profitable business.  No other outcome is possible.  We guarantee it.
