About us

We make businesses easier to run and easier to grow.

CRUX helps local businesses — trades, hospitality and services — find what's holding them back and fix it. We also help bigger businesses that want things to run better.

Why we started CRUX

Small businesses deserve the same tools as big ones.

Big companies have whole teams for planning, staff, numbers and tech. Most local businesses have the owner — and a pile of apps that don't talk to each other.

We bring that big-business know-how to local businesses, in a simple, practical way. We look at the whole business, then stick around to help fix it and make it better.

The founders

One knows business. One knows tech.

So the plan and the tools get built together, from day one.

What we stand for

The rules we work by.

Facts first

We look before we give advice. No guessing.

Your goals, not ours

Not everyone wants to get bigger. More time, more profit or less stress are great goals too.

Straight talk

We're honest about results. We never make up numbers, reviews or awards.

The whole picture

Problems are connected, so we look at how everything fits together.

People first

New tools only work if people use them. So we show your team how.

Better every month

We check, learn and improve. We don't just set it up and leave.

Free chat

Let's have a chat about your business.

Tell us what's going on. We'll listen, ask a few questions and tell you straight if we can help. It's free, and there's no catch.
