From Start-Up to $250M in 4 Years: The Savage Money Growth Story

What happens when you commit to strategy, scale, and support?

In July 2022, Peter Savage launched Savage Money with a clear goal: build a business that works without burning out.

Fast forward to today, and Savage Money has grown from $27M in Year 1 to a projected $250M entering its fourth year. Here’s how it happened, and the key lessons that helped make it possible.

📈 Year 1: Foundation First – $27M Settlements

Peter started the right way:
✅ Focused on building product knowledge
✅ Hired admin and marketing support early
✅ Laid the groundwork with solid client service and brand presence

His mindset: “I can’t do everything, but I can build the right team to help me.”

🔁 Year 2: Delegation + Delivery – $57M Settlements

With demand increasing, Peter took the leap to scale.
✅ Brought on a Parabroker to handle prep
✅ Delegated non-core tasks
✅ Capped his working hours to avoid burnout

Result: More time, better client service, and double the business.

🚀 Year 3: Strategy Meets Structure – $142M Settlements

This is where it all clicked.
✅ Engaged Auctus Coaching
✅ Outsourced efficiently
✅ Optimised processes, tech, and workflows
✅ Introduced a retention strategy for clients

What changed? With our help, Peter focused on building a business that could scale without needing him at every step.

🧠 Year 4: Leading, Not Chasing – $250M Projected

Today, Peter’s role is sharply defined.
✅ Narrowed his core responsibilities
✅ Introduced loan writers into the team
✅ Built an omni-channel marketing system
✅ Developed a leadership team
✅ Hired an EA to manage his time and his inbox

It’s no longer hustle. It’s leadership.

👇 Takeaways for Brokerages:

• You don’t scale by doing more. You scale by doing less better.
• Support structure matters. Admins, Parabrokers, and EAs are not expenses. They are leverages. 
• Marketing must be intentional. Omni-channel doesn’t mean more, it means smarter.
• Coaching accelerates results. Clarity, accountability, and frameworks made a massive difference.
