SOUND FAMILIAR?
Most businesses we work with are dealing with one of these challenges
If any of these describe the last six months, you're in the right place.
GROWTH HAS STALLED
You're working harder than ever, and revenue or profit isn't moving.
BUSINESS RELIES ON ME
Every decision waits for you, and a week off means checking your phone every hour.
AI FOR YOUR BUSINESS
You know AI matters, but nobody has shown you where it fits in your business.
NO CLEAR STRATEGY
The plan lives in your head, and your team are guessing at the priorities.
SELL OR STEP BACK
You'd like to sell or step back one day, but the business couldn't run without you.
Most of these come from the same place: a business that has outgrown the way it's run. This is normal. A growing business, by definition means you are leading a company it hasn't been before. This is where we can help, we have been there before.
We’re here to help you work on your business
We bring the capability of a full advisory team, and the insight of people who've actually run businesses. So you know what to work on, and how.
For the price of a manager, you get access to a chair, a lawyer, a finance manager, a marketer, a technology change manager, an operational efficiency expert, a customer service manager and HR, among others. All served in-house. All quality approved. All working to the same values and the same way of working. Dial a skillset up or down whenever you need it.
Tell us the business you want to run in one, three or five years. We'll help you get there.
Most owners
start at school.
Running a business doesn’t come with a playbook—but this is pretty close.
Six days over about two months, in a room of 8 to 10 owners facing the same things you are. Delivered by people who own and run businesses. You leave with a strategy you can start on the following Monday.
Who We Are
We’re a tight-knit team of seasoned specialists—experienced, practical, and genuinely invested in helping businesses grow. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves, and we have a lot of fun doing what we do best: unlocking growth.
WHY POINT16?
We advise, we invest and we operate.
What we bring to your business is what we use in our own, including when it's gone wrong. Business is simple. Running one isn't, and we know the difference because we're still doing it.
Capital to Fuel Growth
We’re more than investors, we’re growth partners. Through the Sustainable Lifestyle Fund and New Zealand Fintech Fund, we back businesses we believe in with smart capital, strategic guidance, and a long-term view. Whether you're scaling or stepping into your next big move, how we deploy capital is designed to deliver real momentum.
