The Merge That Took Us From $7M to $15M
At $7M, we hit a crossroad.
We had great clients. A solid reputation.
But we were capped out.
Limited by geography. Stretched by overheads.
And missing key internal capability.
Then we found the right partner - another consultancy with strong delivery, complementary services, and a similar culture.
We didn’t just join forces.
We merged with a bigger purpose in mind.
Here’s what we did:
— We restructured into business units
— Aligned roles, responsibilities and P&L
— Combined systems (finance, CRM, delivery)
— And made culture the non-negotiable throughout
There were teething issues - every merge has them.
But the upside was massive:
— Our footprint expanded overnight
— We opened new markets & opportunities
— And cross-sold services that boosted project value
Overnight, our business doubled from $7M to $15M.
More importantly - we were now a serious player.
If you’re thinking about M&A…
The structure post-merge matters more than the deal itself.
