What is a scaleup?
A Scaleup is a small but established company with the potential to grow. The company has a clear business idea and a product that has been confirmed in the market. They have developed a business model that works and know which market segment to target. The next step for a Scaleup is to develop new strategies to grow and expand.
Do you have the potential and desire to grow?
Then you and your company are not alone. There are a large number of companies in Västernorrland with both the potential and the will to grow that still do not do so for various reasons. In the film, you can hear participating companies, a growth coach and process managers from BizMaker talk about the program.

STEP 1. FIRST MEETING
We book a first meeting to get to know you and your company. During this meeting, we carry out a goal and process mapping where we identify five strategically important processes that have development potential to increase the growth of your company.
The goal and process mapping covers, among other things:
- The company's core process and mapping of goals and workflows to see where your business is today.
- The company's resources, what can be streamlined and where the profitability is.
STEP 2. coaches are appointed
Your company will be matched with four coaches who possess expert knowledge that is deemed useful for you and your company. The areas covered are finance, customer, process and development. The coaches will then support you and your company throughout the program. The coaches are people from the business community with solid experience and excellence.
STEP 3. get to know the coaches
In this session, you will get to know your coaches and they will describe what they can contribute, based on their unique areas of expertise and linked to the five strategic objectives identified during the first meeting (goal and process mapping).
STEP 4. coaching sessions
You, the four coaches and we at BizMaker meet on six occasions to review and follow up on the goals and processes identified. In addition, you also have individual review meetings with us at BizMaker. We follow a proven concept during all meetings and document the entire process.
I have been helped to develop a five-year plan, so even though the program is over, I know how to continue working. My toolbox is bigger today. Within five years, we want to have a turnover of 50 million and over 20 employees.
Hans Persson, Hamek Verkstad
Most people who run small businesses are neither economists nor HR specialists, but are good at what they do. I think that many people like me need help with things that are not related to the core business.
