Knightscale was founded by entrepreneurs, not consultants. Alexis Sikorsky, Topher Morrison and Natalia Amer have built, scaled and exited real companies, including a nine-figure private-equity exit, and now help founders of £5–20m businesses do the same. We work alongside you, hands on, to build the leadership, systems and numbers that command a premium valuation, then get you to an exit on your terms.
We start with a clear diagnosis, what the business is really worth, and what’s capping it. From there we build the plan and do the work alongside you, over a two-to-four-year horizon, until the business runs without you and a buyer will pay a premium for it. You can engage us two ways: one-to-one advisory, working directly with a founder, or the Virtual C-Suite, a senior team that owns the project. Either way, you’re working with entrepreneurs who’ve built and exited companies themselves.
Between them, the founders have built companies, scaled teams, grown brands and sold to private equity, the same work we now do for you.

We don’t hand over a strategy and leave. We work inside your business, through our APEX method, Assess, Plan, Execute, eXit, building the leadership, systems and numbers that make it more valuable and ready to sell. It’s built for founder-led businesses in the £5–20m range, and shaped by founders who’ve built and exited companies themselves, including a nine-figure private-equity exit. The result: a clear path to a higher valuation and an exit on your terms.
