How it works
From application to your first invoice.
Five steps. Applications are answered within a day or two, the first call is within a week, and once the plan is agreed the company, brand, email and tools are usually ready within two weeks.
The five steps
- 01
Apply.
Three questions on the form. We want the pattern of how you win clients, not one good story. We read every application and reply to everyone.
- 02
A short first call.
Ten to fifteen minutes with the team. Come ready to explain the business you would launch, where your clients have come from, and what you would do in month one.
- 03
Your plan.
If we both want to go on, you write a one-page plan: the business, the first three clients and how you would win each, pricing and costs, the first three months in numbers. We help you tighten it. The plan sets the weekly targets.
- 04
Launch.
Once the plan is agreed we set up the company, the brand, the website, the email, the CRM and the tools, usually within two weeks. The allowance starts.
- 05
Build.
Clients contract through the company we set up for you. You win and deliver. We run the back office: contracts, invoicing, collections, bookkeeping, tax, compliance. You get a monthly statement that shows every number and a monthly review with operators who have done it.
What we ask of you
Full time, from day one.
This is your business, not a side project.
Simple weekly targets,
agreed in your plan, reviewed together every month.
Honest selling.
You win the first clients from public information and your own reputation, never from a former employer's lists.
Three months to prove it.
If the numbers are not there by then, we talk straight and either reset or stop. You keep what you were paid; you owe us nothing.
What this is not
Not a job.
No manager, no fixed hours, no salary beyond the allowance. You run the business.
Not freelance work.
You are not paid per task. You are building something that carries your name and pays you a share of its profit.
Not a franchise.
You pay us nothing, ever.
Not a way to move your current employer's clients.
We never ask for, and will not accept, a former employer's confidential data, contact lists or candidates.
Where your company lives
United Kingdom.
A UK limited company for businesses whose clients are in the UK and Europe.
United States.
A Delaware company for businesses whose clients are American.
United Arab Emirates.
A Dubai free zone company for the Gulf, and for partners who later want to run the business from Dubai.
If it does not work
We agree simple weekly targets at the start. If after three months the numbers are not there we talk honestly, and either reset or stop. You keep what you were paid; you owe us nothing. Any change to a signed deal is raised openly, explained, and given something fair in return. We never cut terms as a surprise.
Three questions. Real numbers beat long answers.
We read every application and reply to everyone, from hello@arkscaleventures.com.
