Built by founders
We've started and run companies ourselves. We know what it takes.

Every client gets their own key. Each cut is one area of support; the deeper the cut, the more we do.
Why Snick
Most good ideas never become good businesses.
Not because the idea is wrong, but because the founder is trying to do everything alone.
Snick works alongside you from the first idea to the day you sell. We bring the experience of people who have started, grown and sold companies themselves, plus a network of specialists in sales, marketing, investment, tech, finance, governance and law.
We are selective. We only take on businesses we believe in, and we put our own time and money where our mouth is.
Skin in the game
We often take a stake, so we only win when you do.
One team, every skill
Seven specialist areas under one roof, so you don't have to hire them all.
Every stage, including the stuck ones
Not just for start-ups.
Businesses rarely grow in a straight line. They start, they grow, and somewhere along the way most of them stall. We work with businesses at every point on that path, including the flat bits.
Set up properly
Structure, funding, systems and a clear route to your first paying customers.
Get moving again
Find what's really holding the business back, fix it, and get growth back on track.
Scale with confidence
Raising investment, building sales and marketing engines, stronger technology and real governance.
Realise the value
Investor-ready, through due diligence, and the best price at sale.
