Business Growth Support &
Recruitment Partner for Scaling SMEs
Build the team you trust to run the business without you.
Helping CEOs of scaling construction, property, & built environment businesses design the right roles, hire people who take ownership, and embed the structure that removes founder dependency, so growth continues without everything continuingly ending back with you.
"Scaling shouldn’t mean doing more, it should mean building a team you trust to lead without you."
I’m Nicola Anderson, founder of Capacity to Grow
I help ambitious CEOs of scaling SMEs (£500k–£30m) build high-performing teams that take ownership, so the business runs without constant dependence on them.
If you’re stuck in delivery, firefighting daily issues, or acting as the go-to problem solver, it’s rarely a capability issue, it’s a structure issue.
With the right roles, leadership rhythms and systems in place, your team can lead confidently while you step back into growth, strategy and clients.
The Challenge...
You’ve built a successful business, but as you scale, decisions pile up, your team waits for answers, and progress depends on how much time you can give.
The problem isn’t effort, it’s structure.
With the right roles, systems and leadership rhythm in place, your business can perform at its best without depending on you to drive every result.
The Capacity Framework...
Growth gets easier when you build around these three simple foundations...
1. CLARITY - What actually matters?
See what’s really holding your business back, and where to focus first.
When everything feels urgent, it’s easy to lose sight of what actually moves the needle.
Clarity means understanding your structure, priorities, and performance gaps, so every decision creates momentum instead of chaos.
2. CAPABILITY - Who owns it?
Develop people who take ownership and perform with confidence.
You can’t scale if you have to lead every move.
Capability is about building trust, accountability, and leadership at every level, so your team performs even when you’re not in the room.
3. CONTINUITY - How does it run without you?
Embed systems and rhythms that keep things running at their best.
Real freedom comes when success no longer depends on your presence.
Continuity ensures stability through clear processes, communication rhythms, and habits that sustain performance as you grow.
The Result...
When Clarity, Capability, and Continuity align, you create a business with time, trust, and traction, one that scales confidently, runs smoothly, and gives you the freedom to lead strategically.
"Freedom comes when you stop being the only answer in your business."
The Solutions That Change Everything...
Every business is different, but the challenges are often the same, too much time trapped in delivery, people who need constant direction, and systems that can’t keep up.
After we uncover what’s really limiting your growth, we focus on practical, proven steps to fix it - fast.
These programmes put the right structure, leadership and capability in place so performance no longer depends on you.
How We Work With Our Clients...
Recruit to Grow™ is our foundation.
It’s where we design the roles, hiring strategy, and decision framework that remove dependency on you and create real capacity for growth.
From there, some clients choose to deepen the work — embedding leadership capability, strengthening team performance, or supporting multiple hires as the business scales.
The right next step becomes clear once the foundation is in place.
What Clients Say...
CEOs work with Capacity to Grow to build teams they trust and reclaim time to lead. Here’s what they say…
“Growth isn’t just about doing more, it’s about creating the capacity to lead better.”
