The Liverpool commercial case

Senior leadership, without the permanent cost

An engagement is company to company. You get board-level capability for the share of time the work actually needs, without the cost and liability a permanent executive hire carries in Liverpool.

Brief a search

No permanent headcount

The engagement is a company-to-company contract. No salary on the payroll and no headcount to carry.

No benefits burden

No medical cover, no benefits administration, none of the overhead a permanent hire brings.

No recruitment cost

No search fees and no onboarding lag. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.

One month's notice

Scale the engagement up or down, or step away, on one month. You keep the optionality.

Business to business

A company-to-company arrangement, invoiced cleanly. Senior leadership without the employment.

We search our collective of 350+ curated and vetted executives for the closest fit, and you choose.

Deployment

Your leader embeds within weeks, holds the decisions in their domain, and gets to work.

Common questions

The questions founders ask first

A senior C-suite leader who embeds directly into your business on a part-time or retained basis. They do not just advise. They hold the decisions in their domain and stay accountable to the outcomes, without the cost of a full-time hire.

Engagements are business to business and typically run six to twenty-four months. Start with one leader or a micro-team, and scale either way on one month's notice as your priorities shift.

A consultant advises and steps away. A fractional executive embeds and executes. We provide the support, structure and governance that keep the engagement working; the executive owns the outcomes.

Typically 30 to 60% less than a full-time executive. You pay for the seniority and the time you need, not idle headcount, and there are no recruitment fees, benefits or severance costs.
