#ADDAZERO Establishing Basecamp
The Ultimate Guide to Sustainable Growth
Whilst more than 550,000 new businesses are registered each year (in the UK alone), why is it that only one per cent go on to smash all their predicted targets, goals and aspirations, and a further four per cent meet their original goals?
In 2008, my former business was significantly impacted by the sudden closure of one of the largest and most well-known brands on the UK high street! This resulted in needing to make a number of redundancies and almost losing my home. We had been suppliers to a business which employed over 27,000 staff and a turnover of almost four billion pounds a year! That is until they were declared bankrupt!
You will always learn so much more from failure than you ever will from success. So, I set about to understand what causes good businesses to fail! It’s led me to head up a team of data analysts as we determined the cause of more than 150 big business failures and subsequently surveyed more than 117,000 SME businesses to “unlock the DNA of business failure“.
At the time of publication, it led to eight clients becoming National Entrepreneur of the Year Finalists, countless others winning either regional or industry-specific awards, and all those who have applied the teachings to significantly and sustainably scale both themselves and their businesses. You see, success and failure are opposite sides of the same coin. And it is only by preventing one that we can achieve the other!
“ADDAZERO: Establishing Basecamp” is the essential guide for ambitious entrepreneurs and business leaders who are ready to take their companies to the next level. This comprehensive book is the result of four years of intensive research, studying over 150 failed businesses to uncover the critical flaws that lead to their downfall.

A well laid out book taking you through the steps of growing a business in a logical wayThis is very well thought out and structured book that takes you through the various aspects of running, but mainly growing a business. I learnt a good bit from this book and took away ideas and things that I will implement. However, I think one of the greatest values is that it gets you focussed on the various areas of your business, so that you can work through them and improve them.
Having read many business books, I found the unusually clear, concise and with steps I can take straight away
Fantastic book, thanks Jay!
