OUR SERVICES

Non Exec & Board Advisory

You leadership team and board set the direction and tone of the business, but need to be held to account to ensure they are as efficient and productive as the rest of the business. We can sit in on your meetings and either offer post-meeting feedback and advice, or even hold your leaders to account with industry standard metrics for them to strive towards.

Are you getting the right support?

Running a business today can feel overwhelming—constant pressure, tough decisions, and uncertainty at every turn. Founders and CEOs face relentless challenges that can leave you isolated, unsure, and stretched too thin. When everything feels off balance and the stakes are high, having an objective, experienced partner can be the difference between struggle and success.

A non-exec with real-world experience. Someone who’s built, grown, and exited businesses can offer honest insight and steady guidance, helping you navigate the toughest times and chart a clear, confident path forward.

The support every founder and CEO needs

Getting the right support is crucial. Having an experienced, objective pair of eyes can provide the clear advice you need, especially when daily challenges throw everything off balance. Whether you want to test ideas with someone removed from the day-to-day or need guidance to navigate new directions, a trusted non-executive can make all the difference.

Non-Executive Director

Bringing on a non-exec who’s built, grown, and exited businesses adds real-world insight to your board, offering a fresh, honest perspective to help you steer your company with confidence.

We've built our own businesses and experienced first-hand the value a great Non-Exec Director can bring. Their input made a real difference—and contributed directly to our success.

At Lumo Advisors, we offer the same kind of support: clear, non-judgemental advice and practical options for whatever challenges you're facing. The difference? You get the benefit of two seasoned experts, not just one.

Board Advisor

If you'd like us to join your board of advisors, we’ll bring the perspective of founders who’ve been through the journey you’re on now. We won’t replace your existing board members. Instead, we’ll complement them, adding another layer of insight and experience. Our role is to help steer discussions, challenge constructively, and ensure you stay focused on what really matters: achieving your goals.

How it works

Both advisory roles are offered on a retainer basis, with a 12-month commitment. This allows us the time to build a deep understanding of you and your business, and to focus on what’s needed to help you reach your goals.

01.

Initial meeting

We’ll start with a 30 to 60 minute video call to introduce ourselves and explore whether there’s a good initial fit. It’s also a chance for us to understand if we can add real value to your business.

02.

Get to know you

This session, which is typically 60 to 90 minutes will enable us to understand how your business is structured, how the leadership team operates, and how things run day to day. We’ll form an initial view of your key challenges, your goals, and how you’re progressing against them.

03.

Start to plan

We’ll work to understand your business in greater depth, mapping out your initial challenges and shaping them into a clear, actionable plan. We'll also identify any potential risks in your current direction and flag where a strategic shift might be needed. A strategy meeting is the best place to start with the full involvement of your leadership team.

04.

Get started

By this stage, we’ll have a solid understanding of you, your challenges, and your aspirations, and we’ll have begun mapping the path to your goals. From here, we become your go-to advisors, meeting with you monthly to maintain momentum. In the first month, we’ll meet weekly to build a strong foundation.
