Mark Ullah specialises in helping business owners in-organically scale their business through growth, Innovation & talent management strategies.
I'm not your typical business advisor. My role isn't to come into your business and tell you how to organically grow - you have done that on your own!
But here is the problem I see regularly:
Founders and business leaders are bogged down by day-to-day operations, hindering their ability to focus on growth and innovation; resulting in missed opportunities, no market differentiation, linear sales growth, reduced customer demand and poor exits.
I provide founders and business leaders with the freedom to focus on growth and innovation, while driving increased revenue and differentiation in market. By freeing up valuable time, I empower my clients to unlock their full potential and achieve their growth objectives.
How? Simple. I focus on 5 key areas of business:
-
Product Innovation: Developing new products or improving existing ones.
-
Process Innovation: Enhancing business processes for better efficiency.
-
Business Model Innovation: Changing the way a company creates, delivers, and captures value.
-
Service Innovation: Improving or introducing new services to meet customer needs.
-
Business Transaction Innovation: Building a business that is commercially appealing, ensuring a successful exit.
If you’re craving in-organic growth, from a growth leader who has worked with some of AU’s most successful companies – that’s me.
I will challenge your thinking, un-earth hidden value and help you reimagine your business - but only if you are ready to think, and invest, outside the box.

Access our database of trusted General Managers (with Growth Mindsets) to help you scale your business, sustainably.

Commercial Due Diligence
M&A often relies heavily on traditional due-diligence (accounting and legal).
The value of a company can be positively be impacted by understanding the commercial aspects of a business - not just the financial health.
Commercial due-diligence supports buyers and sellers to unearth more value in the transaction of a business - often increasing the valuation.
We also help owners differentiate by establishing governance, risk and compliance maturity.

Do you only work with Medium to Large companies?Mostly, yes. However, if you are not mid-market or enterprise and feel like your growth has plateaued, and you’re ready to change it – I can help solve that. Again, the key factor here is your desire to grow & invest – if that’s there, I can make it a reality.
-
Will you help us hire new staff?Absolutely. After 1000s of interviews over time, I’ll help you find and hire top-notch talent to fuel your growth. Plus, I will leverage my network to connect you to the best thought leaders and growth mindsets that will help you kick your goals.
-
How much do you charge?Firstly, am I the cheapest? No. Will I give you the best chance of supercharging your growth? Absolutely. Remember – 50% of the hires you make, will likely fail and more than 60% of your new innovative ideas will fail if you don't commercialise them properly. There’s a lot of time & money wasted in the process. Get it right from the get-go, with proven experts.
-
Who is your ideal client?Any business with revenues between $2m - $20m who are prepared to invest at least 10% of revenues to develop in-organic, innovative growth opportunities, and differentiate their business from their competitors.

Why would you use me to accelerate your growth?With a proven track record in innovation, I've propelled growth, incubated new ventures, and launched groundbreaking products for both small businesses and enterprises. By marrying cutting-edge technology with strategic foresight, I've unearthed unexplored market opportunities and transformed concepts into tangible successes. Leading agile teams, I've driven rapid prototyping and iterative development, ensuring our solutions not only meet but exceed market demands. From pioneering business models to navigating complex regulatory landscapes, I've delivered impactful results, cementing my reputation as a catalyst for sustainable growth and market disruption. If that's not enough for you, put me to the test by aligning my success with your success - I'll happily discuss a joint risk reward engagement model where I only win, if you win!!!
-
Will you do the execution of the Strategy or Plan?For the most part, no. You’ll find a lot better and cheaper resources to do the execution. My role is to create a robust strategy that will, without a doubt, accelerate or create new revenue. Plus, I will monitor, coach and maximize the returns you get from the “executors” and your team.
-
Will you work with my current team?Absolutely. My goal is to supercharge your team, and eventually walk away when you’re smashing your goals. This includes working with your current team, hiring new staff members, exiting current staff (if needed) and assisting with training and beyond.
