The Value of Inviting a Catalyst into your Business
A catalyst speeds up a reaction without being used up by it. That is the role I play in your business. I step into the daily operations, including people, projects, and processes, so you are no longer consumed by details and can focus on the relationships and decisions only you can handle.
Hello! My name is Laura Vukich and I am the founder of Catalyst Virtual Partners.
Let me help you create change in your business!
I am a Fractional COO and Business Manager for Growing Small Businesses. I work on a monthly retainer OR can be hired for specific projects.
What I take off your plate
-
Managing and coaching your team, with clear expectations, regular check-ins, and follow-through
-
Hiring, onboarding, and training
-
Building the systems, workflows, and written procedures that keep work consistent
-
Choosing and setting up project management tools and your CRM
-
Automating repeat tasks
-
Helping your team deliver excellent customer service
Your business is healthy and busy, and you’re the one holding it all together. I partner with owners of small to mid-sized businesses $1.5M-$10M in annual revenue to run the day-to-day (people, processes, and systems) so you can finally work on your business instead of in it.
Engagements can start small. Many begin with a focused starter plan to get organized quickly, then move to an ongoing retainer of 20-40 hours a month.
I work primarily virtually and, for local clients, I’m happy to meet your team in person for regular check-ins. When a project needs extra hands, my fully virtual team works alongside me.
Book a free discovery call. It’s a relaxed conversation to see whether we’d be a good fit.
