Strategic Growth Framework for SMEs
Every business needs a roadmap, but most owners are too deep in the day-to-day to build one. That’s where we come in. At Candour Strategy, our 6-step framework is designed to help you move from stuck to scaling, without the fluff. Whether you’re looking for strategy, structure or support to get it done, this is how we build momentum where it counts.
Our 6-Step Strategic Growth Framework
Discovery & Insight
We start with straight-talking conversations. This is where we uncover what’s really happening inside your business, what’s working, what’s holding you back, and what needs to shift.
Strategic Direction
Based on what we’ve uncovered, we map out a clear direction. We help you prioritise, choose your next best moves, and align strategy with real-world outcomes.
Actionable Roadmap
Ideas don’t create traction, execution does. Together, we build a step-by-step plan you can actually implement. Whether it’s restructuring your offer or fixing the leaky parts of your marketing, this roadmap makes it doable.
Execution Support
We don’t walk away once the plan’s built. We stick around to help you implement. That might mean coaching you through key decisions, guiding your team, reviewing progress, or adjusting the plan as you go.
Accountability & Pivot
Things change. And when they do, we help you adapt. We build in regular checkpoints to review results, hold focus, and shift where needed. It’s not about pushing harder, it’s about staying aligned and building smarter.
Ongoing Partnership
We’re in this with you for the long haul. Our best work happens when we become your long-term strategic partner, someone who knows your business, sees what you can’t, and helps you make confident decisions.
Why our approach works
We’re not here to wow you with frameworks or leave you with a pretty plan and no follow-through. We combine experience with execution, helping you think bigger, act smarter, and get traction in the areas that matter most.
Most of our clients come to us overwhelmed and stretched.
They stay because we bring structure, momentum, and a grounded approach that actually works.

What is the cost?
Our fees are tailored to the size of your business and the level of support you need. Typically, our services range from $1,100 to $3,500 per month.
What other services do you offer?
We provide a wide range of support functions to meet your business needs, including content creation, digital marketing, website development, bookkeeping, accounting, and legal advice. Whether through our in-house team or trusted partnerships, we’ve got you covered.
Will you get hands-on?
Absolutely! We’re not just about strategy—we roll up our sleeves and get involved in the execution. We know that assigning endless “homework” won’t move the needle for your business. That’s why we prefer face-to-face collaboration and often assist with staff training to ensure your team is equipped for success.
