Operations for SMEs · Madrid

Scale your business without the chaos: clear processes and systems that work.

We map how work actually flows, find where it breaks, and leave you with the processes, SOPs and tools to run it. In sprints with a fixed scope we agree before we start.

  • Scope fixed before we start
  • No hourly billing
  • You keep everything we build

01 / The problem

When everything goes through you, the business can’t grow

Bookings, orders and updates arrive on WhatsApp. Information is spread across several spreadsheets. And what matters most lives in the heads of one or two people.

It works… until the business grows, someone goes on holiday or the busy season hits. Then messages get lost, tasks get done twice, and everything lands back on your desk.

We work with owner-led small businesses in:

  • Hospitality
  • Co-living
  • Retail
  • Food
  • Services

It’s for you if…

  • A lot of the work is coordinated on WhatsApp
  • You use spreadsheets for things that keep slipping
  • Everyone on the team does things their own way
  • It’s hard to delegate because “only you know how it’s done”

02 / What a sprint delivers

From improvising every day to a system your team can follow

  • A diagnostic of where time is being lost
  • Your processes mapped: how they work today (As-Is) and how they should (To-Be)
  • SOPs anyone on the team can follow
  • Ready-to-use message templates
  • A management board in Notion or Trello
