See what it’s worth. See what it could be worth.

We put a number on it. What your business is worth today, what it could be worth once it stands on its own, and how that value compounds as we do the work together.

And it compounds, because it all lives on one platform.

Lumia is Adapt’s coaching and software platform. Everything you build lives there from day one, so the gains stay in the business and compound as you step back.

The know-how that runs your business, owned by the business, not just its people.

Turn the business you run into the asset you own.

Design out the owner-dependency discount, so a buyer or successor pays for what you built.

Independence is built in two places, your people and your systems.

An owner and two of their leaders working together over a laptop, at ease and in step.

Leaders who keep leading when you step back.

We build distributed leadership: the real decisions and the culture move into your team, so the business is carried by them.

A way of running that outlasts the people who built it.

Roles, rhythm and decisions captured as you go, so nothing critical leaves when someone does.

What you walk away with.

The framework ends with proof you can see. It shows up on the calendar, and in the valuation.

  1. 01

    Enterprise value with no owner discount

    Owner dependency is the discount buyers never mention. We design it out, so a buyer or successor pays full value for what you built.

  2. 02

    The freedom to choose

    Step back, sell, or stay. The business holds either way, because it no longer leans on you.

Adapt gave us the structure to lead well, run effective meetings, and create visibility. The Adapt Platform continues to be a critical business system for us.

Who this is for.

The framework is for established, owner-led businesses where the owner is still the centre of everything, and that has become the ceiling on value and freedom.

Owner-led SMEs

Still owner-dependent, and ready to move the business off your shoulders.

Family businesses

Preparing to hand leadership or ownership to the next generation.

Expert-led firms

Where the value is locked in a few key people, including you.

Common questions.

Is this business coaching?

It includes coaching, but goes further. Coaching builds your leaders' capability; Adapt also redesigns the roles, rhythm and decisions around them on the Lumia platform, so what they learn stays in the business as your people change. See how business coaching and mentoring work together for owner-led businesses.

How do I start?

Most owners start with a confidential review, sixty minutes with a veteran operator, at no cost. You walk away with real clarity on where the business depends on you most, and which underperforming areas to work on first.

How long does the work take?

Design completes in four to eight weeks, depending on how fast you want to move. Build begins as a twelve-month commitment, and the enterprise value compounds the longer it runs.

How do I stop being the bottleneck in my own business?

Three things move the business off you: your leaders start owning real decisions against a clear scorecard, an operating rhythm keeps the business moving without you calling each one, and how the business actually works gets documented so results stop depending on your memory. See the full breakdown of how this works.

Who is involved?

Design is the owners' phase. Build brings in your leadership team, the people who will carry the rhythm, hold the decisions and own the outcomes day to day.

What is the platform?

Lumia is Adapt's coaching and software platform. It runs through both phases from the first session and holds your roles, rhythm, vision and progress, so the independence you build stays in the business as your people change.

What does it cost?

Design begins at $15,000. Build begins at $4,500 a month and scales with the size of the leadership team carrying the work, with coaching and the platform included. Explore, our month-to-month coaching on a single constraint, begins at $1,500 a month. You will know the full number before you commit.
