Empowering Business Owners to Build Resilient, Profitable SMEs


At thexton armstrong, we believe that any business owner can become a successful entrepreneur—with the right support.

Running an SME is not the same as being an entrepreneur. It’s a fast-paced, high-pressure journey filled with both challenges and opportunities. Whether you are thriving or treading water, our mission is to help you accelerate without losing control—or yourself in the process.

Our difference? We focus on the person behind the business. Your vision, your goals, and your success are at the heart of everything we do.

Accelerating Your Business—Without Compromise

The most difficult phase for any founder is often the Acceleration stage: when your business gains momentum, but you’re stretched too thin.

That’s where we come in.

Our experienced mentors guide SME owners through this demanding stage—helping you streamline your operations, regain control, and grow with confidence. With expert support, you’ll navigate these growing pains not just successfully, but sustainably.

Our Approach

We understand one core truth: you are just as important as your business.

Our holistic methodology focuses on helping you improve, scale, recover—or exit—your business in line with your personal and professional goals.

Curious how it works? It starts with a conversation and leads to measurable change.

Have You Heard of Profit Leakage?

Ever heard of Profit Leakage?

Profit leakage is profit that’s already being generated by your business—but is quietly slipping away due to inefficiencies. Research shows that 9 out of 10 SMEs are affected, with an average of 9% of revenue lost annually.

Imagine what that might look like for your company.

Our Services – Tailored to Your Business Stage

Business Acceleration

Business Acceleration Plan – Improving Performance

Whether you are doing well or aiming higher, our Business Acceleration Plan helps you grow profitably. Using insights from our Profit Leakage Analysis, we build a strategy that enhances performance, accountability, and long-term value.

Business Mentoring

Business Mentoring Plan – Sustained Guidance

Even experienced business owners feel overwhelmed or stuck. Our Business Mentoring Plan gives you consistent, objective guidance—so you can step out of the weeds and into your role as a strategic leader. We become your sounding board and your partner in ongoing improvement.

Business Divesture

Business Exit Plan – Planning for What’s Next

Exiting a business is a significant milestone—and often an emotional one. Most owners only do it once, and few have the experience needed to manage it well. We guide you through this pivotal transition with sensitivity and structure, helping you protect what you’ve built and plan for the future.
