Why Scale-Ups Need a Fractional COO
Scaling operations is the biggest operational bottleneck for Series A/B companies. As you grow from 10 to 100+ employees, processes that worked informally break down. A fractional COO for scaling builds infrastructure that supports rapid growth without chaos.
What a Fractional COO Does for Scaling
- Operations strategy: Defining processes, workflows, accountability
- Team scaling: Hiring operations managers, building HR infrastructure
- Systems & tools: ERP, project management, financial systems implementation
- Process optimization: Identifying bottlenecks, improving efficiency
- Board support: Metrics reporting, performance tracking, governance
- Investor readiness: Due diligence prep, documentation, financial controls
Value of Operations Excellence
Well-run operations improve unit economics by 15-25% and accelerate company growth. A fractional COO costs £160k-£260k annually but prevents costly operational failures and improves investor confidence during fundraising.
