Bidaya

Bidaya for founders & SMEs

Executive management, from day one.

Setup, operations, finance and tech — run inside your business by one firm.

Most businesses run for years before they can justify three senior hires. Until then, Bidaya runs setup, operations, finance and tech inside the business the way an executive would, monthly or for one defined piece of work, a few steps ahead of the owner.

One firm, four functions

Setup, operations, finance and tech are scopes of one role, not four vendors.

Setup.

Structure, licensing and the foundations a company runs on, decided before the growth arrives.

Setup

Entity structure and the licensing decision. Formation coordinated with the specialists it needs. The foundations decided once, so they don't have to be redone at the first hire, the first investor or the first audit.

Ops.

Process, the people plan and the hiring roadmap, so the business runs without the owner in every decision.

Ops

How the business runs when the owner isn't in the room: process written down, the people plan, the hiring roadmap and the hires themselves, the review rhythm that keeps the month on track.

Learn more

Finance.

Monthly numbers you can trust, cash you can see, and the filings that carry fines when missed.

Finance

Management reporting every month, budgeting and cash flow, the reporting an investor or a bank asks for, and the filings that carry a fine when they're missed. Licensed tax consultants and accountants are included in the fee.

Tech.

The systems underneath all of it, built on the tools you already use.

Tech

The systems under all of it: the accounting stack, the records, the automation that removes a job rather than adds a tool. Built on what the business already uses. One-time technical projects, from a website to a custom internal system, are in scope on their own.

Where a need falls outside these four, we bring in the right people and run it for you, all under one roof.

The executive layer, run inside your business

What we do

We operate at a CEO, CFO, and COO scope across setup, operations, finance, and tech, offering fractional executive services at a fraction of the full time cost, allowing young businesses and SMEs to operate with confidence without the need for a full-time corporate hire. The owner keeps every decision that counts. We prepare the ground so those decisions are made on time, with ease, and with confidence.

How we do it

  • Monthly. The executive layer inside the business on an ongoing basis. Rolling, on thirty days' notice, or on a term matched to a deadline. This is the shape most engagements take once the foundations exist, and remains anywhere from 3 months to 24 months. Our aim is not to extend our stay, it is to build the business sustainably for it to run without our direct intervention, and hand it back to the founders and their new team.

  • One defined piece of work. A fixed scope, a fixed fee, a beginning and an end. A study of how the business actually runs. A structure built and handed over. A technical build. This is the shape most engagements take at their early stages to support with pre and post launch structuring and operations.

Neither is the lesser version of the other. Which shape fits is what the first call decides.

Beyond the executive layer

Bidaya was built to do one thing that solves three separate, yet similar, problems: be the executive layer for businesses that are too small to have one yet. For startups and SMEs that is our work that builds an affordable executive function into the business making it easier to run. For youth and the creative sector, it is our programs that support building and growing businesses with the right tools. And for the established B2B founders and independent freelancers, it is the opportunity to provide them more meaningful work for people in earlier stages.
