The IG Ops team has BUILT businesses and exited

We fuel SaaS growth from start to exit to help you build success and wealth

What is IG Ops

IG Ops offers a distinct approach to business consulting. While providing core services across standard growth consulting disciplines, our key differentiator is our holistic methodology specifically tailored for SaaS businesses.

Our 1-5 year strategic engagement cycle draws upon our team’s deep experience scaling SaaS companies to successful exits and significant market share. This approach integrates our accumulated knowledge and provides partner businesses with the resources necessary to achieve accelerated growth.

We ground our work in practical experience and align our efforts with our partners’ objectives, focusing relentlessly on maximizing business value creation with efficiency and effectiveness.

Who are IG Ops

IG Ops is a rapidly growing consultancy dedicated to empowering SaaS leaders to scale efficiently and effectively. Founded on the principle that sustainable growth requires more than just capital, IG Ops provides hands-on support grounded in real-world experience.

The firm was established by serial entrepreneur and NED, Steve Rastall, who recognised that many SaaS businesses struggle to translate investment into tangible growth. His vision is to provide practical, operational expertise to overcome these challenges.

The IG Ops team comprises seasoned consultants with diverse expertise across all facets of the SaaS business lifecycle. Their collective experience spans revenue generation, financial management, operations optimisation, software architecture and development, client services, human resources, and communications. This multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive support for scaling SaaS organisations right through to exit.

Our team has experience of 10+ business exits within the last 20 years.

We leverage a proven, proprietary roadmap for SaaS expansion.

How It Works

Our SaaS onboarding process begins with a deep dive into your organization’s specific needs and challenges. This understanding forms the foundation of a dual-pathway growth plan.

The first pathway focuses on developing and executing a strategic roadmap aligned with pre-defined, measurable targets. The second establishes a robust governance framework designed to withstand the scrutiny of any investment or acquisition due diligence.

Leveraging our extensive experience, we then accelerate your transition to working on your business, actively participating in driving tangible change. Throughout this process, we strategically deploy expertise from our internal consulting team and our external network to address growth challenges with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
