Service offering
No upfront fee. No retainer until savings are confirmed. You pay 20% of confirmed savings, once. From year two, the full saving is yours.
How it works
01
We extract everything, documented and undocumented, and find every leak.
We surface the tribal knowledge, the informal systems, the workarounds, and the behaviors that don't show up in any report. Every opportunity is written up with a specific number. Your team reviews the list and signs off before anything moves forward.
02
We engineer the fixes. We stay until they're running.
Lightbloom's engineering team goes in and does the work. They stay until each solution is embedded and running reliably. For every opportunity, your team confirms the saving before we issue an invoice.
03
Optional
The systems keep running. The savings don't stop.
After the active engagement, we move to a low-cost support arrangement. The systems we built keep running. You can come back for new work at any time. Not every engagement needs this. Simpler fixes often run without any ongoing support.
How you pay
20%
of your first 12 months of confirmed savings. That's the fee. Nothing more.
Once.
We invoice once per opportunity, after your finance team has confirmed the number. There is no retainer, no annual fee, no repeat charge.
Yours.
From year two onwards, the full saving is yours permanently. We have been paid. The saving keeps running at zero further cost to you.
The numbers
For a business running at 15% EBITDA, recovering 10% of its cost base nearly doubles its margin. At a 6x multiple, that's €10M of enterprise value created. Lightbloom's fee is €340K, paid once.
