About Us
Â
Managing and scaling a successful business is an art.  Let us show you how to master it.
At The Business Growth Accelerator, we don’t just help businesses grow—we focus on maximising their value by driving breakthrough results in the strategies that truly matter. With over eight years of pioneering success, our team specialises in transforming businesses like yours into self-sustaining assets, positioning you as a leader in your industry and preparing your business for future sale or investment.
Our Mission
We empower business owners to scale their operations, ensuring they function independently of their leadership with the right management system and a high-performance culture. By making you operationally redundant, we free you from the daily grind, allowing you to focus on what’s next—whether that’s preparing your business for sale, attracting private equity, or simply enjoying the freedom of a business that runs itself.
We understand that most SMEs operate based on insight rather than data. Our mission is to integrate data into your management processes, teaching you how to build capability in using data-driven insights to drive value and achieve breakthrough results. This approach not only enhances decision-making but also ensures that your business is optimised for sustained growth and long-term value.
What We Do
We tailor strategies specifically to your business’s needs, focusing on the key activities that build value and streamline operations. We specialise in:
- Proprietary Leadership and Management System: Our unique system is the only one on the market that integrates both operational systems and the behavioural elements of leadership, accountability, and emotional intelligence. This combination drives greater engagement, accountability, and organisational capability, ultimately leading to a high-performance culture.
- Maximising Business Value: We help you pinpoint the areas in your business that add the most value and streamline those that don’t. By concentrating on the strategies that deliver the most impact, we enhance your business’s overall worth, making it a more attractive asset for future sale or investment.
- Creating Breakthrough Results: We identify and execute the critical strategies that push your business to new heights, ensuring sustained growth and profitability.
- Building Organisational Capability: Our approach strengthens your business’s operational foundation, creating a self-sustaining entity that doesn’t rely on you for daily operations. This transformation turns your business into a true asset—one that’s prepared for future sale or to attract investors.
- Integrating Data and Insights: We build data into your management processes, enabling you to make informed decisions that drive value. We teach you how to leverage these insights to achieve consistent, breakthrough results.
Why Choose Us?
We are innovators in business consulting, mentoring, and coaching, with a track record of success that sets us apart. Most business owners get bogged down by too many tasks, losing sight of what truly drives value. We help you focus on what matters most, stripping away the distractions and optimising every aspect of your business. This ensures you’re not leaving money on the table and that your business is positioned for maximum growth, value, and future sale or investment.

- Want to grow their business as a valuable asset.
- Are considering preparing their business for future sale or attracting private equity.
- Understand that a business reliant on its owner has limited value.
- Are ready to optimise and streamline operations to build organisational capability and accountability.

Angela Sedran |Â Â MBA, MICF, MAICD
Growing up in the twilight of apartheid South Africa, I was the only child in a house filled with love, and a bit of chaos, thanks to my Oma, nonna, and our 10 rescue dogs.
My dad, ever the perfectionist, had me on my first diet at 9, marking the start of a long battle with self-esteem and bulimia.
Despite this, I was the peacekeeper and tutor among my friends, unknowingly laying the groundwork for my future as a master facilitator and mentor.
Dreams of becoming an architect or vet took a backseat to practicality, leading me down the path of accounting on dad's advice.
Life threw its curveballs, including becoming a young widow and single mom, pushing my dreams further away.
The frightening violence escalating around us spurred a move to Australia, a safe haven for my son and I.
With grit and determination, I pursued an MBA, balancing motherhood and studies, especially when faced with my son's hearing challenges.
My career took me from negotiating a JV with India's largest property developer to being a strategy director for one of the world's largest legal publishing firms. Unfortunately, the GFC pulled the rug from under my feet with a retrenchment.
I moved into consulting, helping businesses like BHP, Tip Top and Lion implement management system that engaged their people and delivered results.
In late 2015, scammers maxed out my credit cards to the tune of $100k. The FBI, the Met and the Australian Police all told me to give up. So I took matters into my own, and tracked that Israeli scammer down online - all by myself.
I got all my money back (including interest) and secured a retrenchment. Never happier, I decided to work for the best boss in the world – me!
That fight reignited my passion for helping others to achieve financial freedom. I went into business fortified by caring deeply about helping business owners to achieve financial independence.
Today, I empower small and medium-sized business owners to scale for "sale" and make themselves redundant with my proven Scorecard System and powerful business network. This system gives business leaders the systems and leadership skills to scale with the support of their teams. Getting people on board for your BIG goals can be hard, and I act as your wingwoman during this process. Â
Think of me as the trusted engineer in the ear of a Formula 1 driver but for your business. I’m here to guide you through every twist and turn, offering strategy and support, so you stay ahead of the curve.
My journey has been about overcoming, adapting, and thriving, not just for me but for those I aim to lift up along the way.
I stand for kindness, freedom, and respect, and I'm here to change the game, one leader at a time. Â
