Implicit Advisory Achieves CPD Accreditation: A Milestone for Scaling to Succession Programme

‍

This month marked a significant milestone for Implicit Advisory Limited as we received confirmation that our Scaling to Succession Programme has been certified by The CPD Certification Service

‍

This accreditation is a testament to the years of dedication, refinement, and investment in developing a structured, scalable, and high-impact programme that empowers business founders to plan and secure the right exit for them and their business.

‍

The Journey to CPD Accreditation

‍

Founder & CEO Charlotte Ashton, has been immersed in exit planning for over 20 years. In 2021, she began developing the Conscious Capital Creator™️ framework—an approach designed to help business owners navigate their exit journey with clarity and confidence.

‍

What began as a simple brain dump of expertise quickly evolved into a comprehensive framework that not only prepared clients for a capital event but also increased profits and company value. More importantly, it put founders in control of how and when they exit—something that has historically been a challenge for many entrepreneurs.

‍

The Birth of the Scaling to Succession Programme

‍

In May 2023, we launched the first Scaling to Succession group programme, harnessing the power of peer groups—a proven model in private equity but rarely applied to exit planning for SMEs.

‍

Convincing business owners to discuss selling their business is difficult; convincing them to do it in a group setting was even tougher. But the impact was undeniable. The peer format fostered invaluable discussions, insights, and accountability, making the experience transformational for business owners navigating their own exit journey.

‍

‍

A Commitment to Excellence

‍

In 2024, we made the strategic decision to pause live programmes to transition our digital content onto a more scalable platform, ensuring it met CPD accreditation requirements. This process involved:

‍

• Restructuring the programme for maximum clarity and accessibility.
• Re-designing and re-recording content to maintain engagement and effectiveness.
• Aligning with CPD standards to provide certified, high-quality learning experiences.

It was a significant investment of time, effort, and resources, but the reward has already been worth it. 

‍

What This Means for Business Founders

‍

CPD accreditation not only validates the quality and credibility of the Scaling to Succession Programme but also underscores our commitment to delivering the highest standards of professional development for business owners.

‍

For founders considering their exit strategy, this certification means that they can now access a structured, recognised programme that enhances their knowledge, increases business value, and provides them with the confidence to take control of their exit journey.

‍

What’s Next?

‍

With CPD accreditation in place, we are now focused on delivering the Scaling to Succession Programme to even more business owners looking to take control of their future and unlock the value drivers in their business.
