Fractional COO Partnership
03 /
Partner
A partner in the business, not another executor.
A different level of access, responsibility, and leadership. Not the same support with more added.
For founders ready for leadership beside them. We work alongside you to determine what the business needs, set the priorities, and drive them forward across every function.

The questions we answer together
What needs your attention now?
What is keeping you and your business from achieving more, faster?
Where should your resources be going?
What opportunities should you and your business be pursuing?
What needs to change before you scale further?
What is next?
We help you make better decisions about your business,
then make sure they are executed and move you toward your next milestone.
Where we lead
Across the whole business.
With the Business Management Retainer, the direction exists and we move it forward. With the Fractional COO Partnership, we help determine the direction, establish the priorities, and drive them forward. Our experience spans all business entity structures and a wide variety of fields, across every part of what makes a business run. We bring all of it to the table, weighing every part of the business so the whole of it moves forward together. Nothing sits outside our view, because every decision shapes the next.

How we work together
A seat at the leadership table.
The aim is a business where decisions are made faster, priorities stop competing for your attention, and opportunities are pursued instead of parked.
Your business stops running through you, and your time returns to your clients, the work, and the vision only you can lead as an expert in your field.
THE LEADERSHIP RHYTHM

A quarterly priorities session, where we set the direction and strategy for the quarter ahead.
04
Strategy that moves with the business. We set the priorities, evaluate what is working, and adjust quickly so goals are reached faster.

Leadership in execution. We guide your team and contractors and take the work off your plate, while you stay fully informed.

How it works
Built for your whole business, for the long run.
01
The Clarity Call
A conversation about what your business needs next, and whether partnership is the right level.
02
The Proposal
Your tailored proposal includes the written scope, where we agree on what Big Bow will lead against the desired outcomes. Partnerships begin with a six-month commitment, and we review the scope together each quarter.
03
The Scoping Session
We never take on something we have not first understood. Once the proposal is accepted, the contract is signed, and the initial payment is complete, we begin with a dedicated scoping session of 60 to 90 minutes. If you have completed the Business Performance Intensive within the past 30 days, a brief conversation to align on first priorities and timeline is all we need.
04
Onboarding
Your client portal, a shared Google Drive, access to the accounts we will need, a dedicated communication channel, and your priority access line are all set in place, so the work begins cleanly from the first day.
05
Active Leadership
With everything in place, we lead alongside you. We set the strategy, guide decisions, and drive priorities forward across operations, marketing, and growth, taking the work off your plate while you stay fully informed.
06
Continue The Partnership
We stay ahead of the business, not behind it. Each quarter, we review the scope and set the direction together, and between sessions you have priority access to us 7 days a week. After the initial engagement, partnerships renew for six or twelve months.
