The Entrepreneurship Journey
Every business owner travels through three distinct phases of skill development on the path to building a truly scalable enterprise. Understanding where your client sits on this curve is the first step to knowing what they need.

The MMC Accelerator is designed to accelerate your client's journey through all three stages but specially Sage 2 — systematically and sustainably. Your role evolves as they progress. |
Business Maturity Model — The 5 Tiers
Before transformation can begin, you need an honest baseline. The MMC Maturity Model assesses the client business across 5 organisational tiers — each representing a distinct stage of operational and strategic development.

Critical issues exist; operations are unstable or unsustainable. Immediate intervention required. |
