How it works

How it works

The model, the deal, and what you actually get.

Everything you need to understand before you pick up the phone.

Every Monatude deal is tailored – the capital, the equity split, the milestones are all built around the individual. But the structure is consistent. This page explains how the model works, what we put in, what you keep, and what the path forward looks like.

Full legal and compliance setup

Wayne handles the legal structure, compliance framework, and company setup – the infrastructure that takes most founders months to piece together alone.

World-class recruitment platform

Access to a proven tech stack – CRM, ATS, and operational tools – that would normally take years to build up to. Available from the moment you launch.

Capital and salary support

We invest so you don’t have to drain savings or risk personal finances to get started. Salary support covers household stability while the business builds momentum.

Real equity from day one

Not shadow shares. Not an EMI scheme with conditions attached. Your ownership is documented in a shareholder agreement before anyone signs anything.

Business development coaching

Andy works directly with founders and their teams on BD strategy, pipeline building, territory expansion, and the business skills recruitment desks don’t teach.

A written buyback pathway

From day one, your agreement includes clear milestones and a defined route to buying back our shares. Two of our founders have already done exactly that.

Deal structure

How the investment is structured

We don’t have a standard deal. But here’s how it typically works – and what you can expect at each stage.

01.

We put capital in. You put your experience in.

The amount we invest depends on what you need – salary, working capital, setup costs. In return we take an equity stake. The size of that stake reflects the risk we’re taking and the capital going in. It’s calculated transparently, not arbitrarily.

02.

Ownership is agreed upfront and put in writing.

Before anyone commits, the shareholding is documented in a shareholder agreement – your percentage, ours, what triggers changes, and what happens if things go well or badly. No verbal agreements. No moving goalposts.

03.

Milestones unlock more equity for you.

As the business hits agreed targets, the balance shifts in your favour. The goal is always for you to end up with more – not less – as the business grows. We’ve structured deals where founders start at 50% and build to majority ownership over time.

04.

You can buy us out. That's the point.

The buyback pathway is built into every deal from day one. Once the business reaches a certain level, you have the option to buy back our stake at an agreed valuation. Two founders have already done this. We consider that a success, not a loss.

Testimonials

In their words

4,9/5

"I'd been thinking about going on my own for years but didn't know where to start. Andy helped me cut through all of it - I wouldn't be where I am without those conversations."

"What I got wasn't generic advice - it was someone who'd actually done it, made the mistakes, and could tell me which ones were worth making. That's hard to put a price on."

"The thing that surprised me most was how available Andy is. Not just at the start - consistently. That level of access makes a real difference when things get difficult."
