2026 Market Momentum​​
M&A activity has grown significantly over the past decade, creating unprecedented opportunities for business owners.​
​
While there are many buyers in the market and lots of interest, very few deals actually get done. And even fewer leave the owners happy. Sadly,

3 out of 4 business owners regret their deal

About Claire Mula,
Founder & Scaling Up Certified Coach
I understand how much energy it takes to start, scale and exit a business having experienced it first-hand. Building something meaningful can be deeply rewarding, but it also comes with moments of frustration, uncertainty, and tough decisions, often without a clear playbook or the right advice at the right time.
​
With more than 25 years’ experience founding and leading digital and technology-enabled businesses, I work with founders and CEOs using the Scaling Up performance platform to help them build businesses that scale sustainably and create real enterprise value. I coach ventures from late seed and early scale-up through to established multi-million-dollar organisations.
​
My focus is on helping leaders cut through complexity, strengthen the core value drivers of their business, and make deliberate choices about growth, ownership, and what comes next, whether that is preparing for an exit, bringing in investors, or handing the business on.
​
I take a practical, straight-talking approach. No hype, no heroics, just clear thinking, better decisions, and helping founders finish strong with options and value intact.
"Claire showed profound knowledge about entrepreneurship and excellent coaching and communication skills. On all topics within strategy, execution, people and financials she was able to guide and consult us in a very effective and open way.
