Frequently Asked Questions

Who Should be Using it?

Any business owner who is ….

• Tired of being tired.
• Spending more time on the business than his family because it would fail without his attention.
• Caught up in the business day-to-day grind and has no time to focus on the strategy or other important factors that can scale the business beyond him.
• Looking to own a business that gives him the life he wants today.. instead of burying him in a 24/7 job.
• Plans to one day cash out or pass down a company his children would actually want to own.

You answer a quick 5-minute survey and if we feel that we are a potential fit for the problems you have raised, we plan an initial 15-30 minute consultation to get to know each other better.

At the end of the consultation, If we both decide we want to move forward, we’ll sign you up for a plan and schedule your meetings.

If not, we will try to point you in the right direction and give you access to helpful resources.

If you sign up for one of the consulting packages, you will also participate in personalised 1:1 60-minute consulting meetings based on the timetable of the plan you choose.

Our clients end up freeing up a ton of time using our process, especially as they dive deeper into optimizations.

The Sophiall Solution frees your time and eases your mind by helping you transform your company from a 24/7 Job into a VIP (Valuable, Independent, and Profitable) Business.

Through proven platforms, value-added consulting, tools, templates and solutions, we help you optimise your business, which you have built with your blood, sweat and tears into a wealth-generating machine that can grow and thrive without you.

   Step by step, we help you transform your business into a VIP business that can thrive without you. Scaling without limits and freeing your time to do what you want.

Our clients are Service Business SME owners who range in size from 5 to 50 employees.

They offer a range of services, from pure local B2C services in specific neighbourhoods to international providers responsible for pulling off highly visible and critical nationwide and international engagements.

Ultimately our clients are business owners who are looking to capture the freedom they should enjoy in being their own boss. A freedom that comes from owning a business that can thrive without them.

A business that does not require every decision to go through them and which buries them with long hours per week. One where they are not constantly putting out fires or wasting valuable time on thankless tasks which do nothing to build their wealth or give peace of mind.

Ultimately those who use the Sophiall Solution are looking to own more than just a job. They are looking to own a VIP Business (Valuable , Independent, and Profitable) that works for them and gives them the life they want – TODAY.

YES. We have had clients who doubled revenue and earned their highest margins by following our system and concentrating on the services they could scale and which their customers found most valuable.

Our clients have also freed their time, including some who cut their workload by 50% while being able to focus and drive up their company’s profitability and growth.

The Sophiall solution is an investment in your future…an investment in driving up the independence, profitability and value of your company and freeing your time to spend as you wish.

There are several ways you will gain an impressive ROI on your investment.

1. Successfully grow and scale your business beyond your personal limits.
2. Free your time to spend on the strategic growth of your company. For example, we freed over 20 hours a week for one of our clients and he used that additional time to bring on new customers and more than double his revenue and profits.
3. Increase the sellability and value of your company. When the times comes to exit (or if a nasty surprise raises its head and you have to exit), you will be in much stronger position to 1) be able to cash out and 2) get full value of the asset you built. This can mean millions.
4. Have the life you want from today. The ROI in having the flexibility and peace of mind in being able to work when and where you want. To being there for your family and othe priorities.

If you see investing in your future as a “cost” or “expense” than we are most likely not a fit. Our solutions provide true value.. not big sales or discounts.

No. Every client is different and we do not control the implementation of the solution on your side. Our solutions are for guidance and support only, and you bear sole responsibility for the use and implementation of any guidance we provide.

That said, in over 60,000 companies that have gone through the Value Builder system for example, and which increased their score to 90 , have been three times as likely to receive an offer and these offers tend to be double the average.

The clients we have serviced so far locally, we have noticed within 30 to 60 days a marked improvement in their sales volume, margins and overall results. This is why we have had no cancellations as of yet.

At our sole discretion, within 60 days of starting the engagement, if you have done all the assigned work and fully participated in the process, and we feel we were not actually a fit or able to provide you value, than we will refund your fees you paid in that first 60 days.

YES. 100%! An independent and scalable business will give you the lifestyle you want from now and the peace of mind in knowing that if you do decide to sell one day, you have a much higher chance of success with an asset the investors and buyers would actually want.

In addition, an independent business gives you a measure of insurance if a crisis or unforeseen difficulty arises and you have to step back or be forced to exit, than you have a much better chance of still fully cashing out.

In some cases, meetings are held face to face when both the client and Sophiall consultant are in the same geographical area and they both agree.

The Value Builder System™ is a statistically proven methodology designed to improve the value of a privately held business. At the core of the system is The Value Builder Score™, an evaluation system driven by an algorithm that evaluates a business on the eight core value drivers acquirers take into consideration when buying companies. This score gives a comprehensive assessment of the “Sellability” of your business, whether you want to sell next year or just to know that you’re building a valuable asset for the future.

After analyzing more than 60,000 businesses, analysts at The Value Builder System™ have discovered that companies who improved to a Score of 90+ received offers that are 7.1 times higher than the average-scoring business.

The Value Builder System™ is available exclusively through an experienced and authorized group of advisors, known as Certified Value Builders™, located across the globe. Sophia Global Consulting F.Z.E. with its Sophiall Solution is a Certified Value Builder™.

The goal of PreScore™ is for you to exit your business with no Regrets.

The mental effect of selling your business is often forgotten and underestimated. However, it caused more than 75% of business owners who do sell to regret the sale because they were not prepared mentally to give up the business they might have spent years building and nurturing (like a child).

No. We are not a business broker or M&A firm. Our job solely is to help the business increase its value and independence, so it can better support the lifestyle the owner wants to have.

As a sports analogy, We are like the personal coach who patiently and methodically trains your child (your business) until he or she is in top shape and on top of his or her game (Optimise your business on the key business value drivers) so eventually your child grows up to be one of the few who is able to play professionally (you become one of the few SMB owners who can actually successfully exit the business for a premium).

All subscription packages are monthly and no minimum commitment required (except for a 30 day courtesy termination notice period).

Depending on how independent and scalable your current business is, we recommend you subscribe to a minimum of 6-12 months so you have the opportunity to optimise the business where needed.

We believe you will quickly start seeing tangible results as you start and go through the process.

At Sophiall’s sole discretion, a full refund of everything paid within 60 days of the start of the engagement provided the client has participated fully in the process and done the tasks assigned etc.

If we feel we were not able to provide value due to not being a true fit or failing to provide what we promised than we will happily refund you the fees you paid in the first 60 days of the engagement.
