Discover how Innings, an Australian acquisition fund, scaled faster by outsourcing critical back-office tasks to Teamified. With global talent handling day-to-day ops, their team refocused on strategy - accelerating growth and unlocking greater business value.

 

Innings And Its Challenge

Innings, founded by Ryan Ebert, is an acquisition fund company with a mission to preserve and grow the legacy of Australian SME businesses. They support companies transitioning into their next phase by working directly with business owners and intermediaries to identify acquisition opportunities and implement strategic enhancements.

Having built and sold several businesses in the healthcare industry, Ryan was no stranger to the demands of entrepreneurship. However, scaling Innings introduced new challenges, particularly across business development and operational efficiency — including outreach to potential business owners, organising meetings, conducting market research, and managing the acquisition process end-to-end. Ryan recognised that managing everything alone could slow progress and limit growth.

Innings needed to resource critical back-office functions to free up internal capacity for strategic growth initiatives. The challenge was doing so cost-effectively while maintaining the operational efficiency and service quality required to successfully scale.

 

The Teamified solution:

Innings partnered with Teamified to bring in a dedicated virtual assistant who could support essential operational tasks. Through this collaboration, Teamified helped Innings manage administrative functions more efficiently without compromising quality.

This allowed Ryan and the in-house team to focus on high-value strategic activities, such as business development — engaging with business owners and intermediaries to identify and facilitate acquisition opportunities. Through a relationship-driven approach, Teamified successfully integrated with Innings’ evolving needs.
