Your business partner

You win the customers.
We build the company.

Serious businesses are being built faster than ever, and the founders who win have one thing in common: they can sell. Arkscale Ventures is the partner that takes care of everything else. Legal, finance strategy, banking, systems, delivery and the entire back office. We invest at least $100,000 of services in your business, in return for equity. You sell. We build and scale the rest.

Start a business with usScale an existing one

Two ways in

Starting out, or already selling.

Track one

Building from scratch

You can win customers but have never had a company behind you. We set everything up and run it with you from the first day.

  • You sell and manage clients
  • We build and run the company
  • No fees, no upfront cost to you
  • Equity only

Track two

Already generating revenue

You have paying clients and have hit a ceiling because there is no structure behind you. We put the company, finance and systems in place so you can grow.

  • Your existing clients stay yours
  • We take over the back office
  • You choose how you pay for it
  • Equity only, or a fee plus a smaller stake

What we handle

Everything except the selling.

Most people who can sell never start, because of everything that sits behind a sale. That part is ours.

Company structure

The right entity for your market: a UK limited company, a US Delaware company or a Dubai free zone company, set up and maintained.

Banking and payments

Business accounts in the currencies your clients pay in, invoicing, collections and payouts.

Finance strategy

CFO level thinking from day one: pricing, margins, cash flow, tax planning, monthly profit statements and a finance plan built to scale.

Legal and contracts

Client contracts, terms of business, supplier and team agreements, and the legal structure that protects what you build.

Brand and website

A name, logo, domain, professional website with working enquiry forms, business email and signatures.

CRM and automation

A pipeline built for how you sell, automated follow ups and a weekly report on the numbers that matter.

Delivery team

We source and set up the people and suppliers who deliver the work, so you are not buried in it as you grow.

Banking introductions

As the business grows, introductions to banking and lending partners, subject to the business's own viability.

Back office and governance

Admin, compliance, reporting and a monthly board review, with experienced operators in your corner when decisions get hard.

How it works

From first sale to a company you part own.

  1. 01

    Launch

    We set up the brand, website, email, systems and contracts, usually within days. You commit to at least three months of focused selling against simple weekly targets.

  2. 02

    Prove

    Clients contract through our company while the business proves itself. Profit is shared from the first sale and paid monthly, with a clear statement every month.

  3. 03

    Incorporate

    Once the business reaches an agreed profit milestone, it becomes its own company in the UK, US or UAE, and you become a shareholder with a full shareholders' agreement.

  4. 04

    Scale

    We add team, markets and banking relationships as the business grows. For the strongest businesses, the option to relocate and run it from Dubai.

What we back

  • Clients who pay every month, not once
  • Healthy margins after delivery
  • No stock, property or heavy upfront capital
  • Delivery that can be done remotely or outsourced

Questions

Before you apply.

Do you invest cash?

No. Our investment is at least $100,000 of services: legal, finance strategy, the company, systems, brand, delivery support and the entire back office. On a case by case basis, once a business is proven and has a clear use for capital, we may lend to the business on agreed terms.

Do I have to pay anything?

Not if you are building from scratch: it is equity only. If you are already generating revenue, you choose between equity only, or a fee plus a smaller stake.

Is there a salary?

No. Profit is shared from the first sale and paid monthly, with a clear statement every month.

What happens to my existing clients?

They stay yours. What we build together is shared.

How quickly can we start?

The brand, website, email and systems are usually ready within days of agreeing to work together.

Can you help with bank finance?

As the business grows we make introductions to banking and lending partners. Any facility depends on the business's own viability and the lender's criteria.

Where do I need to be based?

Anywhere. We set up the business in the UK, the US or the UAE depending on where your clients are.

What commitment do you expect?

At least three months of focused selling against simple weekly targets agreed together at the start.
