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.
For Business Owners Who:
- 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.
Join us in transforming your business into a powerhouse of growth and independence. Let’s unlock the full potential of your business together.
Angela Sedran |Â Â MBA, MICF, MAICD
Angela Sedran doesn’t sell playbooks. She installs leverage.
She’s not a mindset coach or a repackaged franchise. She’s a strategist, economist, and execution architect who helps growth-stage, founder-led businesses scale with systems that stick.
Her journey didn’t start in a boardroom.
It started in the twilight of apartheid South Africa—an only child raised by three generations of strong women and 10 rescue dogs. She was the peacekeeper, the tutor, the quiet fixer.
She’s battled bulimia, survived widowhood, migrated countries, and raised her son solo—all while earning an MBA, navigating a corporate career, and leading strategy for some of the world’s most complex organisations.
From negotiating with India’s largest property developer…
To consulting for BHP, Lion, and Tip Top…
To tracking down and reclaiming $100K from an international scammer when the FBI told her to give up…
Angela doesn’t fold. She figures it out. Then she installs it for others.
Today, she’s the founder of Acceler8, creator of the Scorecard System, and the strategist fast-moving founders call when everything still runs through them—and they need that to change.
She blends:
-
Systems thinking (MBA + 20 years consulting and exec leadership)
-
Deep execution insight (built inside corporates and scaled small business ops)
-
AI enablement (not hype — embedded, leveraged, and governed)
-
Gallup Strengths: Futuristic. Strategic. Intellection. Input. Relator.
She’s your translator between corporate discipline and founder chaos.
Your F1 engineer in your ear.
Your strategic wingwoman when the stakes are real.
Angela stands for kindness, freedom, and respect—and brings clarity, structure, and momentum wherever she goes.
“I don’t hand you more work. I help you make the complex simple—and install the system that frees you up.”
