The Owner's Exit Program
Build a business that runs without you in the middle of everything.
A two-stage engagement that installs the systems, the data, and the accountability structure your business needs, so you can step out of the weeds and into the role of owner.
THE REAL PROBLEM
You built something real.
Then you built yourself into the centre of it.
Every decision runs through you. Every problem lands on your desk. Every time you try to step back, something breaks. You are not running a business. You are doing a job you created for yourself — and it is costing you time, margin, and energy you do not have.
01
No documented processes: quality depends on who showed up to do the job that day.
02
No real-time data: you check the bank account to see if you are doing ok.
03
No clear plan: the team asks you what to do because no one else knows.
04
No time to fix it: you are too busy delivering to build the machine that delivers.
05
Cannot afford a full-time GM or COO: you badly need one, can't afford one, so you keep doing the job.
06
Have been meaning to sort this for years: you know you need to fix but just keep not doing it.
YOUR CONSULTANT
Michael Bombardiere
15 years inside large multinationals allowed Michael to test, refin, and discard every business management methodology until only the ones that actually work remained. That toolkit propelled Michael into a C-suite position. Then he discovered it was even more powerful inside small businesses.
For the last 10 years, Michael has worked exclusively with small and medium business owners, helping them professionalise, systematise, and scale without the chaos.
He has owned small businesses himself. He knows what it feels like to be the bottleneck.

THE PROGRAM
Two stages. One outcome.
You as the owner, not the operator
Most business owners take longer than 90 days to get out of the weeds. Not because the systems take that long to build — because the behavioural change takes longer. This program is designed to address both, in the right order.
STAGE 1
The 90-Day Build
Infrastructure phase. We build everything your business needs to run without you in the middle — the data, the plan, the processes, and the first key hire.
$24,000
fixed fee
90 DAYS
i. The Command Centre
A custom real-time dashboard showing profit, cash flow, sales pipeline, and team performance. Built in the first 30 days. Visible from your phone in 60 seconds, every day. No more guessing. No more bank-balance checks.
ii. The 90-Day War Map
A prioritised action plan with weekly milestones, clear owners, and measurable outcomes. Not a strategy document that sits in a drawer — an execution plan that your team follows every single week.
iii. The Operating System
Documentation of your 10–15 most critical business processes. The exact playbooks your team needs to deliver consistent quality, work independently, and stop escalating everything to you.
iv. The People Layer
Identification and onboarding of the first offshore role that removes the biggest bottleneck from your plate. Recruited and onboarded through PulsePoint within 30 days of systems being built. Included for qualifying clients.
STAGE 2
The 90-Day Embed
Behavioural change phase. The systems are built. Now we install the accountability structure, coach your leadership layer, and transition you, role by role, out of the weeds.
$4,500
per month
ONGOING RETAINER
i. The Accountability Engine
Weekly fractional COO check-ins where Michael holds the team to the plan. He sits in the seat so you do not have to manage your people. You step up to the owner and move away from being the operator.
ii. The Leadership Layer
Coaching your team to own their roles, make decisions independently, and escalate less. The goal is a team that runs toward problems, not away from them.
iii. The Delegation Playbook
Structured hand-off of your most time-consuming responsibilities, one by one, with clear handover criteria and check-ins to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
iv. Monthly Performance Review
A structured monthly review of dashboard metrics, plan progress, and team KPIs. You see exactly where you stand, what is working, and what needs to change, every single month.
INCLUDED BONUSES
$4,300 in additional value.
Included at no charge.
Every client receives these three additions as part of the program. No upsells. No extras.
$1,500 value — included
Business Health Audit
A 90-minute deep-dive diagnostic before the engagement begins. Identifies the single highest-leverage change that will have the fastest impact on your business. Delivered in Week 1.
$800 value — included
Dashboard Template Library
Pre-built templates for sales tracking, cash flow forecasting, and team scorecards. Adapted to your business and yours to keep forever — regardless of outcome.
$2,000 value — included
12-Month Growth Roadmap
A strategic plan for what comes after the program ends. The next hire, the next system, the next investment. Delivered at Week 10 to keep momentum beyond the 90 days.
THE STAGE 1 FREEDOM GUARANTEE
If we do not deliver, we keep working. At no extra charge.
If after 90 days you do not have a real-time view of your business performance, a prioritised action plan with clear owners, and your 10 most critical processes documented — Michael continues working at no additional charge until you do.
This guarantee is scoped to Stage 1 because Stage 1 deliverables are fully within Michael's control. The infrastructure risk sits with him, not you. Stage 2 outcomes depend on implementation speed — which is why Stage 2 is structured as an ongoing retainer, not a fixed promise.
RESULTS
What happens when the program works.
"I was losing money every month and considering closing the business. Michael rescued it — he helped me create a plan, gain visibility of results, control finances, establish operations processes that work and retain clients. The business is now profitable and growing."
Christopher Azzi
Director, Insight IT
"We had stagnated and just could not move the business forward. Michael helped us identify and address the causes. Since then we have seen growth and recently, we successfully sold the business. I would recommend Michael to anyone that wants to achieve their business goals."
James Laham
Director, Inspection Manager
"Our start-up was out of funding and seemed to be out of time. Michael helped us build our business plan, financial forecast and pitch to obtain funding critical to the ongoing operation and growth of the business."
Carrie Vernon
Director, Property Space
"I was working really hard, putting in the hours but just not able to get to where I wanted my business to be. Michael provided me with visibility of my results, a plan and accountability. I have since built a significant pipeline, increased revenue and am now ready to scale."
Christopher Bombardiere
Director, Liquid Design
THE INVESTMENT IN CONTEXT
What this compares to.
FULL-TIME COO SALARY
$180K–$220K
Per year. No guarantee of outcome. No system-building included.
BOUTIQUE CONSULTING FIRM
$30K–$50K
For 90 days. Strategy documents only. No implementation. No guarantee.
THE OWNER'S EXIT — STAGE 1
$24,000
Fixed fee. Tangible deliverables. Guaranteed outcome. Offshore talent included.
Capacity is limited to 4 clients at any time. This is not manufactured scarcity. It is the reality of a hands-on, executive-level engagement. When Michael is in, he is in, and that requires focus. Enquire early to secure a place in the next intake.
You have been meaning to sort this out for long enough.
The cost of not fixing it is another year of working in the business instead of on it. Book a discovery call and we will find out if The Owner's Exit is the right fit, at no obligation.
