Path to partnership

A clear, confidential pathway to join Villaron Group

We’ve streamlined the journey for builders, suppliers, and contractors to join the Group. Below is the step-by-step workflow, the decision gates, and the deliverables you can expect at each stage.

1) Intro & Fit (Board Debrief)

Purpose: Explore strategic fit and mutual value.

What happens: 60–90 minute discussion with the Villaron Group Board on your business model, markets, capabilities, pain points, and goals.

Outputs: Fit assessment, preliminary synergies, next-step “Go/No-Go.”

2) Explore Structures (NDA + Options)

Purpose: Decide the right model (e.g., merger, acquisition, earn-in, JV, preferred supplier).

What happens: Execute an NDA; open a secure data room. High-level review of financials, contracts, customer mix, and risks.

Outputs: Shortlist of deal options with pros/cons, valuation framework, diligence scope.

3) Diligence & Offer

Purpose: Validate numbers and confirm deal terms.

What happens: Financial, legal, commercial, and operational diligence. Clarify working capital, WIP, liabilities, and key-person arrangements.

Outputs: Term Sheet / Offer (headline price/structure, conditions, timing), integration thesis, and day-one priorities.

4) Onboarding Plan & Timing

Purpose: Agree the transition path and when affiliation becomes public.

What happens: Build a 30/60/90 integration plan covering people, systems, brand, comms, and customers. Confirm announcement date and stakeholder messaging.

Outputs: Integration plan with owners and milestones, comms plan, Day-0 checklist.

5) Build the Corporate Operating System

Purpose: Plug in the services you need—at the right level.

What happens: Stand up the core rhythms and shared services (Strategy & Budgets, Bookkeeping/Finance, HR, IT/ERP, Estimating, Drafting, Marketing, Business Services). Tailor depth by need and sequence for minimal disruption.

Outputs: One-page strategy (Balanced Scorecard targets), annual budget, KPI dashboard, service SLAs.

6) CEO Forum & Monthly Cadence

Purpose: Maintain momentum and accountability.

What happens: Monthly CEO meetings to review performance, remove roadblocks, and approve adjustments. Quarterly board resets to re-prioritise based on results and market signals.

Outputs: Monthly pack (P&L/BS/Cash, pipeline, WIP, people, risks), decision log, action tracker.

7) Ongoing Support & Growth

Purpose: Compound value creation.

What happens: Continuous optimisation of pricing, procurement, delivery, and talent. Access cross-company expertise, industry insights, and group procurement advantages.

Outputs: Margin improvement initiatives, capacity plans, capability builds, and growth projects.

Group Standards & Governance (Always-On)

Purpose: Protect customers, people, and brand across entities.

What happens: Adopt Villaron Group standards—policies, approvals, financial controls, WHS, cyber, and reporting. Light where possible, robust where essential.

Outputs: Compliance checklist, delegation of authority, risk register, audit rhythm.
