Be the Leader Your Business Deserves
Smart strategy, smoother operations, and growth through the right deals - for owner-managed businesses ready to level up.
Running Your Business Shouldn’t Feel This Hard
You’ve built something real. But now it feels messy, stuck, or like it’s all on your shoulders. You’re not broken - you’re just doing too much without the right support.
We hear this all the time:
You’re always solving problems instead of growing the business.
Your team looks to you for everything.
You can’t step away without something breaking.
Your finances feel fuzzy and hard to trust.
You want to grow — but not like this.
You Don’t Have to Figure It All Out Alone
We get it - running a business is tough, especially when things get complicated. That’s where we come in.
We know what it’s like to feel stuck, to have too much going on and no clear plan and to wonder if you’re making the right moves - or missing something big.
You’ve worked hard to build your business. You care about getting it right. And sometimes… you just need someone in your corner who knows what they’re doing.
I’m Michael, the founder of Corpana. I’ve spent over 15 years helping businesses grow, fix problems, raise money, and get bought or sold. I’ve worked on deals worth over £100 million, helped turn around messy teams, and built plans that actually get used - not just put on a shelf.
Big companies used to hire me. Now I work with owner managed businesses like yours - because you deserve smart, honest advice without all the fluff.
I’m also part of the CDI Global network, a leading international strategy & M&A advisory group - giving my clients access to global insights, cross-border deal support, and deep industry connections.

FAQs – Got Questions? You’re Not Alone.
-
Great question - and honestly, we expect it. SCALER isn’t a one-size-fits-all course or a theory-packed report. It’s a done-with-you framework that’s adapted to your unique situation, goals, and challenges.
You’ll see real progress within the first few weeks - or you don’t pay, thanks to our Momentum or Money-Back Guarantee
-
We design SCALER to reduce the chaos, not add to it. You’ll have structured, focused sessions and clear priorities each week - not endless workshops or homework.
Most founders gain back time within the first few weeks because we help your team take more off your plate.
-
Fair concern - but the better question might be: Can you afford to stay stuck? SCALER is built for founder-led businesses that are already growing but feeling the strain.
Our work helps you unlock value, increase profit, and create optionality (scale, sell, or step back). Most clients see ROI not just in time saved - but in actual financial gains within 90 days.
-
We’re not just advisors - we’re in the trenches with you. Unlike coaches, we build and implement systems alongside your team. And unlike big firms, we don’t send in juniors with a slide deck.
You get direct support from an experienced strategist who’s been involved in over £100M in deals and worked inside businesses like yours.
-
That’s completely fine. SCALER isn’t just about scaling - it’s about creating options. We help you build a business that works without you so that you’re ready when the time is right - whether that’s scaling, exiting, or simply stepping back.
-
Item deThat’s exactly why we built in Real Rhythm - the final phase of SCALER. It’s not just about planning and fixing, it’s about execution that lasts.
We stay engaged to help keep you and your team on track — and make sure results don’t fade once the projects are over.
