Starting a business can be tough, but keeping it afloat and turning a profit can be even harder

That was the challenge faced by James Dickson, founder of Piota Apps, a mobile app development company. Despite having a great product, James struggled to commercialise his idea and the difficulty of accelerating sales threatened the future of his business.


"It was a challenging time for us," recalls James. "We had a fantastic product, but we couldn't seem to gain traction in the market. We needed to grow to secure the future of our business."


That's when an introduction to Branta changed everything. After being referred by an Insolvency Practitioner contact, Branta accepted James as a client and suggested a tailored strategy to help him turn his business around.


"Working with Branta was a game-changer for us," says James. "They understood our unique issues and provided us with a customised strategy that helped us turn things around."


Branta understood the unique challenges that Piota was facing and identified potential solutions. One of the key strategies they recommended was to introduce James to one of their clients, Stephen Whyte at NEDHoldings. The introduction was a success and NEDHoldings ended up buying Piota.


"Branta's introduction to Piota was timely for us," says Stephen. "We saw the potential in Piota and believed that with the right guidance and resources, we could help them achieve their goals."


Thanks to Branta's guidance and support, Piota turned around and started generating £2m ARR in a very short space of time. This is a fantastic example of how seeking expert advice and guidance can change the course of a business.


"Working with Branta and NEDHoldings has been incredible for us," says James. "We're grateful for their support and guidance, and we're excited about what the future holds for Piota."


At Branta, Chris Ray, Director, says "We believe in understanding our clients' challenges and providing them with the right tools and resources to help them achieve their goals. Piota's success story is a testament my team's approach and our commitment to helping businesses grow and succeed."
