SMB Squad

Services

Strategy first.
Then the system to run it.

Some clients only need a website. Most need more: a real growth plan, software built around how the business actually works, and experts to keep both moving. We deliver all three as one subscription, and the strategy work costs you nothing. The consult call tells us which door fits you.

About the Business OS

What is C-SaaS?

A unified custom business software view: bookings calendar, CRM customer list, invoicing, dashboard, and business progress reports in one place

Most small businesses run on software somebody else built. A generic booking tool. A generic CRM. A generic invoicing app. They each do one thing reasonably well, and none of them know anything about how your business actually operates.

C-SaaS is custom software, delivered like SaaS. Your Business OS is built for your business specifically: your bookings the way you take them, your invoicing the way you charge for it, your reporting the way you measure success. One system that does the things you actually do, for one monthly subscription.

We host it, update it, secure it, and keep it evolving as your strategy changes. You log in. You use it. We handle the rest. And nothing is billed until the day it goes live.

About Experts

What are fractional experts?

A fractional expert working session: business strategy, prioritized decisions, tool recommendations, a custom system spec, and a multi-year roadmap

Big companies have a CFO watching the numbers, a CTO steering the technology, and specialists for everything else. A small business can't carry those salaries, so the owner does all of those jobs at once, by accident, at 11pm.

Fractional experts are the same people, bought by the hour instead of by the year. Ours come in three divisions today: finance professionals who work inside your dashboards, the tech squad that builds and evolves your system, and compliance people who keep your website, marketing, and sales wording inside your industry's standards.

What makes them different from freelancers is context. They work inside your Business OS with your strategy in front of them, so they arrive already knowing your business instead of starting from zero. Essential hours come included with the OS; more is there on demand.

The Tax You Pay Every Week

A dozen apps.
None of them talking.

Every small and medium business now runs on a dozen tools. Booking, CRM, invoicing, email, hosting, payments, analytics, Slack, an Excel sheet someone keeps in a folder. Remembering how all of them connect, and rebuilding the workflows every time one breaks, is a toll your business bears every time.

Our job is to take that toll away. We wire the tools together, build what is missing, and give you the hours back so you can grow the business instead of operating the software stack. The table below shows how we stack up against the two options most small and medium businesses end up choosing between.

Why We Don't Publish Business OS Prices

Because they would be wrong.

A Business OS for a 4 person consultancy looks nothing like a Business OS for a 25 person trades business with three job sites and an Airtable held together by tape. A generic starter price that fits both is one that fits neither. Your monthly price depends on which modules your strategy actually calls for.

Web is different. Web is a defined product with a defined price, $250 a month, because the scope is the same for every client. We can publish that one.

For everything else, the free strategy sprint produces your exact number: the modules you need and one monthly fee, with nothing billed until the system is live. You walk away with a real quote or an honest you do not need us yet.
