The Fractional COO: Why £750k+ Firms are Ditching the £100k Salary

As a founder, you eventually hit a ceiling where you can no longer manage both the strategy and the day-to-day operations. The traditional answer was to hire a full-time Operations Director or COO. But for firms in the £750k - £3M range, a £100k+ salary plus benefits is a massive weight on the balance sheet.

The Fractional COO model offers a more surgical alternative. Instead of paying for a full-time presence, you pay for the 'Architecture' and the results. You get the same level of senior expertise to install your systems, manage your team, and fix your margins, but at a fraction of the cost.

At Proserve, our Fractional COO service isn't just advisory—it's implementation-led. We don't just tell you what to do; we build the engine that does it for you.
