Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences.
I’m Kevin Brent and In today’s episode, we’re joined by Steven Borwell-Fox, an entrepreneur who transitioned from running a service-based company to acquiring Telecetera, a product-focused business, in 2019.
Steven will share his journey, detailing the strategic due diligence involved in the acquisition, the benefits of a holding company structure, and the lessons learned in leadership.
You’ll hear how focusing on individual strengths rather than trying to clone oneself, and the importance of cash flow forecasting in seizing business opportunities, have shaped his approach to business.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to pivot your business model, Steven’s insights are bound to provide valuable guidance.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
