Send us a text
Is your business growing – or just getting busier?
In this episode of Exit Insights, host Darryl Bates-Brownsword is joined by Kevin Harrington to explore how SME business owners can achieve scalable growth without copying the clunky habits of big corporates.
Too many owners try to grow by adding more people, more processes, and more pressure. The result? Bottlenecks, burnout, and a business that’s still heavily reliant on the owner.
Kevin and Darryl break down the four essential systems every business needs to become scalable and valuable – making it easier to step back, increase business valuation, and prepare for a smooth exit.

✔️ How SMEs grow through steps, not smooth curves – and how to navigate those growth spurts
