Operating experience
Alex has built, run, and sold a service business. We understand what has to work day to day.
Make the business perform better and become more valuable.
ALX works hands-on to fix operational problems costing revenue, margin, or management time.
The problem
Too much gets lost between the enquiry and the cash.
Quotes wait. Follow-up gets missed. Job details disappear. Invoices and reporting fall behind. Teams chase information. Management loses visibility.
That costs revenue, margin, and time, and makes the business harder to grow or hand over.
The ALX approach
Business problem first. Tools second.
We work hands-on to fix operational problems that drain revenue, margin, and management time.
We use people, process, software, automation, or AI only where they improve the result.
Then we measure what changed.
The solution
More revenue captured. Better control. More capacity.
Follow-up happens. Work moves cleanly. Management can see what is moving and what is stuck. The team knows what happens next.
That creates better options: keep growing, bring in a partner, hand over, or sell.
Why ALX
We understand the numbers and the work behind them.
ALX combines operating experience, financial discipline, and hands-on execution.
Financial discipline
We judge the work by what it does to revenue, margin, cash flow, risk, and business value.
Hands-on execution
We can redesign the process and build the systems, automation, or AI needed to make the change work.
If the fit is right, a focused project can become a deeper partnership or acquisition.

Share a little context about where the business is getting stuck and what you want to improve. A short note is enough to start.
Common questions
Common questions.
Is this AI consulting?
No. We solve business problems. AI is one tool we may use when it improves the result.
Do I need to be thinking about selling?
No. The work can make sense whether you want to keep growing, bring in a partner, hand over, or sell later.
How does ALX get paid?
We agree the price and structure before work starts. It may be a project fee, commission, success fee, partnership, or acquisition structure.
What if we already have software?
That is normal. The question is whether it is used properly and gives management the workflow and visibility the business needs.
What kinds of businesses fit best?
Established service businesses where an operational problem is costing money or slowing growth.
What happens after the first conversation?
If there is a fit, we agree a focused first step, its price, and how success will be measured. If there is no fit, we say so.
