# bLinked Solutions

> bLinked Solutions is an Addis Ababa, Ethiopia business consulting firm and operating partner. It works with SMEs, growing startups and creative agencies at the point where the business needs more than advice: it diagnoses what is holding growth back, scopes the work, builds the structure, plans and tools the business is missing, executes alongside the team, and hands over a way of working the team can keep using. It also runs hands-on digital and AI training for teams and executives, in Amharic or English.

Slogan: Built on trust. Driven by growth.
Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Serves businesses in Ethiopia.

## Who it is for

- SMEs that have grown past the founder's ability to hold everything
- Growing startups moving from idea to plan, plan to launch, or first revenue to scale
- Creative agencies that need stronger operations and a more repeatable commercial engine
- Established businesses that are stuck and need to restructure and relaunch

## Services

- Consulting: A clear diagnosis and a practical roadmap that show where the business is stuck and what to fix first. Deliverables include an honest diagnosis with clear priorities; organisational, process or financial design; and a scoped plan with deliverables and timing.
- Operating partner: A hands-on partner that builds and executes a project, plan, system or department with the client's team — shared scope, milestones and owners, execution alongside the people doing the work, and handover that sticks.
- Documentation & planning: Business, marketing and sales plans; SOPs, role guides and operating documents — with scope, timeline and cost agreed before work starts.
- Research & development: Market and competitor research, customer or partner insights, and decision-ready findings to test a market, idea, product or partnership before committing.
- Business development: Go-to-market and sales structure, partnership and opportunity development, and practical next moves to win customers, partners and funding.
- Digital training: Hands-on programmes that help teams and executives use digital tools in daily work, delivered in Amharic or English — AIFA (AI for All: literacy and work skills) and AIFE (AI for Executives: applied capability), with modules, outcomes and level-based certification.
- AI tools: Custom AI tools that put a business's own information to work in everyday decisions and tasks — a workflow and data-readiness diagnosis, a clear tool brief and build scope, then testing, handover and follow-up.

## How bLinked works

1. Diagnose: Understand the business — its people, processes, founder capacity and financial visibility.
2. Scope: Agree outcomes, deliverables, owners, timeline and fee before the client commits.
3. Build: Design the structure, plan, documentation or tool the diagnosis calls for, sized for the business.
4. Execute: Work alongside the client's team to put it into practice and keep decisions moving.
5. Grow: Hand over routines and capability so the business does not depend on an adviser.

bLinked does not sell packages. Every engagement starts with a diagnosis, then a specific scope, timeline and fee.

## The four problems most stalled businesses have

- People: unclear ownership, or a team without the skills or capacity for what is next
- System & structure: work reinvented each time instead of moving through a clear process
- Founder: decisions that cannot move without one person
- Financial: cash, costs and targets not visible enough to plan on

The free health check on the home page asks eight questions (two per area) and points to the most likely first gap. Nothing is stored or sent.

## Tools the team works in

Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Trello, Microsoft Project, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Airtable, Zapier, n8n, OpenClaw, Anaconda Notebook, Claude Cowork, Figma, Canva, Lucid, Typeform and Meta Business Suite. bLinked works inside a client's existing systems rather than forcing a migration.
