Meet our founder
Billy Lyle
After selling his own successful technology consultancy business in 2021, Billy made the decision to dedicate his time, experience and skillset to work that can have a long-term positive impact on the planet and society.
His journey led him to establish 4lc, driven by the pursuit of not only business excellence but also sustainable impact. Through strategic improvements and sustainable practices, he envisions creating a legacy that promotes a healthier planet and prosperous communities.
what we do
Legacy Preservation
Your business's history and achievements are invaluable. Our expertise lies in offering seamless transitions for business owners seeking to entrust their legacy to safe hands. With 4lc, you gain more than a buyer; you gain a partner who is deeply committed to preserving the essence of your business while guiding it towards sustainable success.
People-centric success
Your team is as important to us as the business itself. We prioritise the well-being and development of the people who have been pivotal to your success, and hope to help them build a future they can be proud of.
Building sustainable futures
Your business success becomes a catalyst for environmental and social good. With every venture we explore, we're inspired by the possibilities of a healthier planet and a more equitable society. Your business becomes part of a larger narrative that champions environmental stewardship and community empowerment.
how we do it
Adapting to change, Planning for success, Executing with excellence.
At 4lc, our foundation is built on an intimate understanding of the transformative power of change—be it people, processes, or technology. Our approach, refined through years of leading and implementing significant business transformations, is both methodical and adaptive, designed to tailor success stories in any business environment.
We are not in the business of change for the sake of changing. We believe a considered, tailored change process, supported by a solid understanding of the nature of your business success, is the key to identifying opportunities for growth and innovation.
We are focused on long hold ownership of a portfolio of companies who have been selected based on their dedication to excellence.
why we do it
We believe in the power of business to enact positive change.
Our vision extends beyond the immediate success of the companies we partner with; we're committed to leveraging our collective success to invest in a better future for our planet and its people.
This commitment is not just a part of our business strategy; it's why we do what we do. In building a group of ambitious, profitable, sustainable businesses, our success can become a catalyst for environmental and social good.
sustainability partnerships
Our pledge to sustainability is not just a commitment; it's a celebration of what we can achieve together. We are actively searching for sustainability initiatives which align with our vision. Join us in this inspiring journey, where profit meets purpose, and together, we forge a path towards a brighter, better future.
Our Promise: To Always Do the Right Thing
At the heart of our strategy lies a simple yet profound commitment: to always do the right thing for the businesses we partner with and for their people. This means taking the time to understand the unique needs and challenges of each business, collaborating with top-tier experts in people and business change, and applying our vast experience in transformation to guide each company toward a future where they don’t just survive—they thrive.
