Supporting Business Growth for a Fraction of the Cost

Helping companies scale, raise investment or prepare for a sale are just some of the ways that fractional leadership can benefit an organisation.

One of the innovators in the field of fractional leadership is Lifeline IT partner Fractionality. Founded by Marc Hartog, it’s now a growing network of senior leaders helping companies reach their commercial potential.

We talk to Marc to find out more about how fractional leadership works.

“A lot of the businesses we work with need strategic financial support, but they don’t have or need a full-time internal resource. That’s where we come in – we can provide C-suite level executives that can help an organisation grow commercially. This could be raising capital, scaling or preparing for sale. We may also advise them on revenue strategy, so the company ultimately becomes more profitable.”

“Fractionality is a value-based business and we’re all about working in partnership with our clients. We’re often with a company for a minimum of two years, so we can really understand what their challenges are and offer the best solutions.”

Fractionality’s leaders have backgrounds in finance, legal, operations and growth, giving them the ability to work with clients to improve their business and implement change where necessary.

Explained Marc: “We may change existing suppliers if they aren’t adding value to a company. For example, Lifeline IT now work with some of our clients who need a much more strategic approach to their IT, which Lifeline IT offers.”

The current economic challenges are also a reason why more businesses are now turning to fractional leadership.

Said Marc: “Because of changes in things like National Insurance and global tariffs, it can be a challenging time for companies. At Fractionality, we have the experience and knowledge to support businesses so they can navigate these difficulties and minimise the financial impact.”
