Building new businesses with experienced operators.
Many of the Kingdom’s strongest businesses are run by professionals who do not own them. Through Operator Partnerships, Seen works with proven operators to build new businesses. The operator leads the business and becomes an owner, with Seen providing backing and central support.
How each partnership is structured
The operator leads
The operator runs the business day to day: the team, the service, the standards and the customers.
The operator owns
The operator holds an ownership stake in the business they build and shares in its results.
Seen supports
Seen backs the business and supports the functions around it: finance, accounting, HR, procurement and strategy.
A standalone company
Each business is established as its own company, under its own name, and built for the long term.
What we look for in an operator
A leadership record
Has led the type of business they intend to build, such as a clinic, a laboratory or a service operation, with results to show for it.
Team building
Has hired, trained and retained strong teams.
Transparent reporting
Comfortable with monthly accounts, clear reporting and raising issues early.
Commitment
Ready to commit to one business, in the location it requires, as an owner.
Three steps
Introduction
A discussion of the operator’s experience, the business they would like to build and where. No commitment on either side.
Review
A structured review of the operator’s experience and results.
Business plan
A plan for a specific business, based on realistic numbers. Nothing is agreed until the plan works for both parties.
Operator Partnerships is not an employment offer, a franchise or an investment opportunity.
Operators are welcome to introduce themselves with a short summary of their experience and the business they would like to build.
