While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Abundance Finance Mortgages

Working with Greig these past six months has been amazing. He’s not just a great coach; his accounting knowledge and Excel skills are genuinely next level. The way he explains things has completely changed how I understand my numbers, and it has had a real impact on the business.

We’ve just had our best ever month in gross income, and we’re now on our way to becoming a million pound business. His guidance has definitely played a big part in that.

He asks smart questions, gives practical advice, and consistently helps me see things I would have missed on my own. Every session leaves me clearer, more confident, and more in control.

I’m super grateful for everything he’s done and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Amazing place to work

I've been with Growth Idea for just over a year now as a Finance Manager, and I can confidently say it’s one of the most collaborative and empowering environments I’ve worked in.

Everyone is approachable, open to ideas, and genuinely invested in each other's success. It’s not just talk—teamwork is actively encouraged and supported at every level.

A truly unique aspect of Growth Idea is the level of trust you're given from day one. You're empowered to take ownership of your work and make decisions, which fosters both confidence and accountability. This autonomy, paired with the open-door approach of leadership, creates a healthy balance of independence and support.

The management team has been incredibly supportive throughout my time here. Whether it’s providing clarity during challenges or celebrating team wins, their focus on both professional development and personal well-being sets a strong tone for the entire company.

Growth Idea has created a work culture where people feel valued, trusted, and motivated. I’m proud to be part of a team that not only aims high but does so with integrity and mutual respect.

They dont pay their contractors!

I have been waiting for nearly a year to be paid by this company after I informed them I would no longer work with them. Since my decision, the company ceased all communication, refused to fulfill their payment obligations, and subsequently deployed legal threats, likely to intimidate and discourage me, knowing I am based in South Africa and face limitations in pursuing legal recourse.

The company also engages in exploitative practices, such as hiring low-cost labor, changing KPIs to eliminate commission, and removing contractors when they express a desire to cease working with the company.

This company’s conduct is unethical and unprofessional. I strongly advise against engaging in any business relationship with them.

If you need proof, let me know, I am happy to provide contracts, emails, messages and legal threats I still have access to.

We are disappointed to see this review, which is one of several posts from the same individual across multiple platforms and continually since March 2024. This person, based in South Africa, ceased working with us in March 2024 following the termination of a contractor engagement due to serious concerns around performance and conduct.

As a team, we have chosen not to engage in ongoing online exchanges, as our focus remains firmly on serving our clients with integrity and professionalism. That said, it is important to clarify that we operate with clear, well-documented systems for payment, feedback, and supplier engagement; systems that continue to serve hundreds of trusted partners and clients globally.

We encourage anyone reading this to consider the broader picture reflected in the many verified public reviews and testimonials we’ve received which are consistently positive, and a far more accurate representation of our work and values.

While it's unfortunate that a former contractor has chosen this unprofessional and malicious route, we will not be commenting further. We remain committed to our mission and trust discerning readers will see this for what it is.

Bad experience

I was looking for ways to grow my business and I came across this site. After I filled a form I was contacted and asked if I have the 'resources and investment available'. I asked for more details as the question was ambiguous but never heard back from them. This was a very unusual encounter, not recommended.

Hi Natanael - Apologies but we seem to have missed your email and don't seem to have any record of it on our systems either.

In general, our work and strategies are most suited for businesses over a certain size (typically £500,000 revenue). If you could perhaps book a time again at https://growthidea.co.uk/, we can re-look at ways we could help.
