Choosing ## Which plan is *right for me?* 01 ### Essentials Suits founders who are growing and want structure and accountability through the SCALE2SELL® journey, with a monthly call to keep momentum. A good fit if an exit is on the horizon but not yet in view. 02 ### Advisory+ Suits founders with a sale, investment or transition in view who want more time with us, deeper valuation mapping and a clear exit pathway. 03 ### Exit Programme Suits founders roughly one to three years from an exit who need more than two calls a month but are not yet in deal mode, with a quarterly review of the accounts and data-room readiness, and a Strategy Day each year. 04 ### Bespoke Suits complex situations, such as M&A preparation, family or management succession, or a transition with many moving parts, where you want close, tailored support and a quarterly Strategy Day. By application, for up to two clients at a time. You do not have to choose on your own. In your Founder Discovery Session, Nik works through the issues that matter most and recommends the plan that fits. If you would like to talk first, book a complimentary Founder Conversation.

It is by application, and there is no online checkout. The route is the [Founder Discovery Session](https://www.stratworthadvisory.com/discovery-session/). If you and Nik agree that Bespoke is the right fit, he sends you a Bespoke Engagement Letter that sets out the scope of the work and the monthly fee, from £5,500, with a six-month minimum term. Once it is signed, Nik sends you a personal link to start.

One-off sessions ## Work with Nik *without a subscription* £500 ### Founder Discovery Session Where every plan begins. You answer twelve short Founder Discovery questions, then meet Nik for about 60 to 75 minutes to work through the issues that matter most. He then recommends the right plan, and the £500 is credited against your first plan payment where it applies. [About Founder Discovery](https://www.stratworthadvisory.com/discovery-session/) £3,500 ### Founder Strategy Day A full-day strategy session with Nik for your senior team, on-site or off-site, with a pre-session briefing, a concise summary and UK travel and accommodation.

[About the Strategy Day](https://www.stratworthadvisory.com/strategy-day/) The small print, in plain words ## How the plans *work* [Read the full Terms of Business](https://www.stratworthadvisory.com/terms-conditions/) [Engagement letter template PDF](https://www.stratworthadvisory.com/assets/docs/stratworth-engagement-letter-template.pdf) - Our plans are for business customers only. By starting a plan you agree to our [Terms of Business](https://www.stratworthadvisory.com/terms-conditions/), including the six-month commitment (clause 5) and the limits on our liability (clause 11). - Every plan has a six-month minimum term: you commit to the full six-month programme and all six monthly fees are payable, whether or not you use everything available to you. After that it rolls monthly: cancel any time before your next billing date in Manage billing, and your plan runs to the end of the month you have paid for. - If you give notice during the six-month minimum term, it takes effect at the end of the term: the remaining monthly fees for the term are still payable, and your toolkits keep being released until then. - Your eight toolkits are released month by month over your first six months, each when its month comes round, with quarterly reviews at the end of Months 3 and 6. - After that, staying subscribed keeps your Stratworth Vault, your advisory sessions and a readiness review every quarter. - If a payment is overdue or fails, new toolkit releases, Vault access and advisory sessions may be paused until it is paid. A pause does not cancel or reduce the six-month commitment. - Every plan starts after the Founder Discovery Session, from Nik's recommendation. Bespoke is by application, with a signed engagement letter, and we take on no more than two Bespoke clients at a time. - Advisory time is measured monthly and does not roll over. - Moving to a different plan is by agreement with Nik: email him, and any change in fee or access is confirmed with you before it takes effect. - When a plan ends, Vault access ends. Anything you have already downloaded stays with you for your own reference, once all fees due have been paid. - Apart from the cases set out in our Terms, no refunds are given for part months or unused services. - Stratworth Advisory is not currently VAT registered, so no VAT is charged on any fee. - Stratworth Advisory is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our work is strategic business guidance only, not financial, investment, tax, accounting or legal advice. Questions ## Frequently *asked.* [All questions](https://www.stratworthadvisory.com/faq/) How much do the plans cost? Essentials is £495/month, Advisory+ is £1,250/month and the Exit Programme is £2,250/month. Bespoke is from £5,500/month, with the fee set in a signed engagement letter. Every plan has a six-month minimum term and includes full access to the SCALE2SELL® toolkits, a quarterly business readiness dashboard, curated resources and our partner network, email support based on your readiness stage, and additional templates and tools added where relevant to your journey. The difference between plans is how much time you get with Nik and how tailored the support is. What's the difference between the four plans? Every plan follows the same six-month SCALE2SELL® journey; the plan sets how much of Nik's time you have. Essentials includes one 45-minute advisory call a month, your toolkits as they are released, quarterly readiness reviews with recommendations, and customised email guidance. Advisory+ adds two 60-minute calls a month, priority access, deeper valuation mapping, exit-readiness support and an exit pathway review. The Exit Programme replaces the two calls with up to three hours of advisory time a month in total, one Founder Strategy Day a year, a quarterly review of your management accounts and data-room readiness with an exit roadmap updated each quarter, and priority responses by the next working day. Bespoke is fully tailored: up to six hours of advisory time a month in total, including any calls, a quarterly Strategy Day, buyer negotiation preparation, succession and legacy planning, and secure collaboration under NDA if required. Is there a minimum commitment, and how do I cancel? Yes. Every plan, including Bespoke, has a six-month minimum term: you commit to the full six-month programme, and all six monthly fees are payable whether or not you use everything available to you. If a payment is overdue or fails, new toolkit releases, Vault access and advisory sessions may be paused until it is paid; a pause does not cancel or reduce the six-month commitment. After the minimum term, plans roll monthly: you can cancel any time before your next billing date in Manage billing in your Stratworth Vault, and your plan runs to the end of the month you have paid for. When a plan ends, your Stratworth Vault access ends. Anything you've already downloaded stays with you for your own reference, once all fees due have been paid. What is the Exit Programme? It's our plan for founders roughly one to three years from an exit who need more than two calls a month but aren't yet in deal mode. At £2,250/month it includes everything in Advisory+, with the two monthly calls replaced by up to three hours of advisory time a month in total in flexible 30 to 90-minute blocks, one Founder Strategy Day a year with UK travel and accommodation included, a quarterly review of your management accounts and data-room readiness with an exit roadmap updated each quarter, and priority responses by the next working day. Like every plan, it has a six-month minimum term. How do I apply for Bespoke? Bespoke is by application, and we work with no more than two Bespoke clients at a time. Start with the Founder Discovery Session (£500): your Founder Discovery questions, then a session of about 60 to 75 minutes with Nik. If you both agree Bespoke is the right fit, Nik sends you a Bespoke Engagement Letter setting out the scope and the monthly fee, from £5,500, with a six-month minimum term. Once it's signed, he sends you a personal link to start. You can download the template of the letter from our plans page. If both places are taken, we'll tell you when one opens. Do unused advisory hours roll over? No. Each plan includes a set amount of advisory time each month: one 45-minute call on Essentials, two 60-minute calls on Advisory+, up to three hours on the Exit Programme and up to six hours on Bespoke, both bookable in 30 to 90-minute blocks. That time is measured monthly and doesn't roll over, and calls and sessions are booked in advance by appointment.
