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.

What "world-class infrastructure" actually means
  • Enterprise-grade CRM of your choice, fully set up
  • Cutting-edge telephony with AI note translation
  • Full compliance and legal setup
  • Financial setup and accountancy support
  • Company branding and collateral
  • Website design and build
  • Budget modelling and forecasting
  • Strategy and planning sessions
  • Training and L&D suite
  • Office space that attracts staff
  • Ability to employ multiple staff from day one
  • GTM strategy, data enrichment and cadencing tools
  • Direct access to Andy and Wayne throughout
  • Access to other founders in the Monatude portfolio for peer advice
  • Access to an associated developer for bespoke technical work
  • Founders don't launch recruitment businesses every day. We do.
  • Proven suppliers and trusted relationships across CRM, telephony, compliance, finance, office space and branding
  • Years of practical experience in what works and what to avoid
  • Skip months of researching providers, negotiating contracts and coordinating suppliers
  • Move from decision to launch in a matter of weeks, not months
  • Setup handled in parallel, not sequentially

 

  • Proven infrastructure and relationships, applied to your specific situation
  • Flexibility on CRM and supplier choice where it matters to you
  • Shaped around your growth plans, not a fixed package
Deal structure

How the investment is structured

Every commercial model we put together is tailored. People come into this at very different stages – different financial positions, different risk profiles, different amounts to contribute. 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.

A clear ownership roadmap.

Every deal includes a clear ownership roadmap from day one. Ownership, milestones and future options are agreed upfront and documented before anyone commits. The structure is designed to evolve alongside the business, providing clarity and flexibility for both parties as the company grows.

04.

A model that's already been proven.

Through this founder-backing model, two founders have ultimately gone on to acquire 100% ownership of their businesses. That may not be the objective in every case, but it demonstrates that ownership progression is genuine, transparent and built into the model from the outset.

Case studies

Real businesses. Real people.

Every business in our portfolio started with a conversation. Here’s what happened next.

Testimonials

In their words

5/5

What we needed was someone who actually gets under the skin of the business rather than talking in theory. Andy's straight-talking, easy to deal with, and gives advice that actually makes sense in the real world - no fluff, just practical ideas we've taken away and used.

Chris Berrisford Director / Lead Consultant, Hiya Energy

Andy brought a huge amount of clarity, challenge and strategic thinking to the business at an important stage of growth. Honest, experienced, and someone who genuinely cares about helping people and businesses move forward.

Michael Young CEO, MBN Solutions

The investment gave me the platform to accelerate growth, but what set it apart was the ongoing support. Having someone available who'd actually built something before - that made the difference in the early months.
