Most deals don't stall
because the customer isn't interested.
They stall
because of The Approval Problem.

Why Deals Stall

The Approval Problem.

Your sales team is working the right deals. Something else is blocking them.

The problems behind almost every stalled deal

CAPEX Constraints

40%

of manufacturers report losing deals due to financing challenges. – Automate UK, 2025

Performance Risk

58%

of lost B2B deals cite risk rather than price – Basis Global, 2026

Lifecycle Risk

"When the project is complete, the expertise to maintain or maximise value from the investment has not taken root in the business."

– Prof. Sam Turner, High Value Manufacturing Catapult

Every one of these numbers has an answer. Unfortunately, most companies never get to hear it.

Why It Works

We have sat where you are sitting.

260+systems

Installed on funded, long-term service contracts

16+years

from start-up to scaled business across 3 continents

In 2010 we founded a business to solve The Approval Problem in the energy efficiency space.

An OEM with a strong product and a full pipeline – but deals that wouldn't close because the customer wouldn't take the performance risk or couldn't secure the funding.

We weren't advising from the outside. We were inside the business – building the case, negotiating with funders, rewriting contract terms until all three parties could say yes. Deal by deal, for over sixteen years.

That experience applies whether you are closing a single deal with a strong business case or building a recurring revenue model from the ground up.

The Solution

Choose your starting point.

Pipeline to Close

A 3-month, 3-deal intervention.

Designed for manufacturers and integrators who want to start closing deals differently.

The fastest way to prove the model works – on your own pipeline, in 90 days.

3 Deals. 3 Months.

1

Pipeline Audit

We review your live pipeline, isolate the deals blocked by finance or risk concerns, and prioritise the three with highest close probability and impact.

2

Remove the Investment Objection

We address commercial, technical and funding concerns – building a decision-ready business case, amending SLAs or warranties, and structuring the finance, as needed.

3

Drive to a Decision

We push each deal to a clear yes or no – joining sales calls to present the commercial case, and preparing and debriefing the sales team at each stage.

The Recur Pathway

Each step adds value.

Most manufacturers are closer to the full journey than they think. The Recur Pathway takes you from your first service contract to a scalable, recurring revenue model – at your pace, with clear gates at every stage.
