Our initial focus is:
- Heating and boiler replacement
- Roofing
- HVAC
and selected high-ticket service businesses with similar economics.
For established high-ticket service businesses typically investing £8,000+ a month in customer acquisition.
Spend alone does not determine fit. We consider:
- gross profit per customer,
- acquisition volume,
- sales capability,
- fulfilment capacity,
- realistic test size,
- and opportunity economics.
If your primary objective is simply to generate the cheapest possible enquiry, we are unlikely to be the right partner.
What the professional fee pays for.
£3,000 per month for the initial 90 days at the Founding Partner rate.
This is not simply a media-buying fee.
Rivonia researches the buying conversations in your market, identifies the commercial opportunities worth testing, develops the advertising and offers, builds the agreed campaign assets and landing experiences, launches and manages the media, connects the measurement path and follows the results through to the commercial outcome.
- Research & commercial strategy
- Buying-conversation and customer-intent research, commercial baseline analysis, opportunity selection and test design.
- Advertising & acquisition build
- Context-hint and campaign architecture, advertising strategy, copywriting and offer development. Campaign assets and landing experiences required for the agreed test, including tailored landing-page copy and build.
- Launch & operation
- Campaign setup, media buying, campaign management and optimisation of the agreed test.
- Measurement & commercial evaluation
- Conversion measurement architecture, downstream commercial measurement, weekly commercial analysis and recommendations, a final 90-day decision review and documented commercial findings.
The scope is agreed around the test. It does not include unlimited creative production, web development, landing pages, campaigns or revisions.
See exactly what happens during the 90 days — The MethodWhy the founding rate exists.
Rivonia is building its first body of evidence in this channel. The reduced founding rate is an exchange of value, not a generic discount.
In return for the reduced professional fee, the engagement includes agreed rights to document the work and use resulting performance evidence in an agreed form.
The contract defines whether the client can be named, whether branding can be shown, what performance data can be published, whether data is anonymised and whether a reference is available.
Public naming, logo usage, a public testimonial and unrestricted financial disclosure are not automatic requirements.
Founder capacity
“I do this work personally.”
Tonderai Kachecha, CA(Z)
Founder, Rivonia
Each engagement requires founder involvement in research, opportunity selection, offer architecture, copy, acquisition design, measurement and commercial review.
That is why the initial cohort is four partners, not forty. The limit reflects the capacity to do the work personally.
Initial availability: 4 Founding Partner territories.
One partner. One category. One territory.
We do not simultaneously build competing systems for direct local competitors.
Once a Founding Partner territory is allocated, it closes in that category for the duration of the engagement.
Your media. Paid directly. No markup.
Media spend is paid directly by the client to the advertising platform.
Where the platform permits, you own the advertising account and your payment method funds media. Rivonia does not add a media-spend markup.
The professional fee pays Rivonia for the work. Increasing media spend does not increase that fee.
What happens on Day 91?
There is no automatic retainer.
The evidence determines what happens next.
When acquisition can be followed through to customer economics, growth becomes less of a leap.
The next hire, territory or increase in spend can be judged against evidence rather than optimism.
- Continue operating and scaling together.
- Hand the system over.
- Agree a longer-term operating arrangement.
- Stop.
The initial professional fee does not automatically repeat merely because 90 days have passed.
Any post-Day-90 fee is agreed separately, based on proven workload, campaign complexity, operating requirements and client economics.
Start with an Early Demand Review.
Before discussing the programme, we need to establish whether there appears to be a credible opportunity worth testing.
The Early Demand Review is a 30-minute founder-led conversation.
We look at:
- one core service,
- your current acquisition,
- how customers buy,
- your approximate acquisition spend,
- and where commercially valuable conversations may be occurring before formal search.
