How a Business Booster Client from Germany Grew 2.3x and Escaped Operational Chaos in 11 Months

HIXA, founded by Georgiy Shapovalov, specializes in the repair and sale of automatic transmissions in Germany. The business had potential: a high-demand market, strong expertise, and loyal customers. However, behind the stable revenue lay a different reality: exhausting 70-hour work weeks, a complete lack of structure, and the risk of owner burnout.

Before Acceleration: Heroism Instead of System

When Georgiy joined Business Booster, his business looked like this:

• Everything revolved around the founder and his wife: from hiring and accounting to production and logistics.
• No business tools: no CRM, no analytics, no financial planning.
• One office and a mini-production facility in Germany that couldn't keep up with growing demand.
• $117,000 in monthly turnover, but at the cost of 24/7 full involvement.

"You're constantly putting out fires. Everything is moving, you see results, but you're working around the clock. If you get distracted for a minute, everything stops," recalls Georgiy.

What Changed in 11 Months at Business Booster

From the start of the acceleration, the focus shifted from survival to systematic development. Together with his mentors, Georgiy:

• Hired managers and key specialists: a bookkeeper, HR, and an operations manager joined the team.
• Implemented CRM, task planning tools, and HR automation.
• Built a clear sales department structure: roles, scripts, analytics, and control were introduced.
• Freed up his time and transitioned to a managerial position with a strategic focus.
• Prepared the company for scaling: all work no longer depended on his personal control.

Results: 2.3x Growth and Entry into the International Market

In less than a year, the systematic business transformation yielded concrete results:

• Turnover grew to $270,500 per month — a 131% increase.
• The owner's work week was cut in half — from 70 to 35 hours.
• A branch opened in Poland, marking the first step towards international market entry.
• A new 2000 m² production facility was launched, ensuring increased capacity and reduced costs.

"Now, even if you get distracted, the business doesn't stop – it just keeps going," says Georgiy.

Why This Case is Important for Entrepreneurs

HIXA's story is a typical example of how a strong entrepreneur, driven by personal energy, can push a business to its limit. But it's a systematic approach that allows you to break through this ceiling and continue growing without overload, chaos, and dependence on one person.

According to a Harvard Business Review study, over 72% of small business owners face burnout precisely due to the lack of management systems and delegation.

This is why acceleration at Business Booster is built on a clear formula: owner + system = scalable company.
