Build a business that actually works

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kane from Smartfix on a number of projects over the past few years and have always found him to be honest, straightforward, and highly professional. Based on my experience working with him, I would confidently recommend Kane and trust the work he is doing with Hypotential.”

“I’ve known Kane Smith since 2022 in my capacity as his insurance broker, working closely with him and supporting the growth of Smartfix during that time…I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how Kane operates as a business owner and leader. He communicates clearly, makes well-considered decisions, and approaches challenges with a calm, solutions-focused mindset. He doesn’t cut corners. Whether it’s in business, compliance, or looking after his clients, that level of integrity is consistent in everything he does.”

“Always calm under pressure and clinical in decision making. Willing to make hard decisions. Kane is honest and upfront. He does what he says and follows through on it. I appreciate his approach and is someone I can pick up the phone and get real feedback on where things are at in terms of a transaction or his business. Would recommend Kane!”

“I have seen Kane grow Smartfix from a $1M turnover business to a well-oiled $20M operation. Kane’s entrepreneurial skills have come to light as he steered Smartfix through both prosperous times and challenging hurdles. Hypotential is a great fit for Kane. He would be a great tutor if you are looking to expand your business.”

“I have known Kane for about 10 years and watched him build a business from just 2 people to the business he has now…He has accomplished a huge achievement, growing Smartfix.”

“I have known Kane professionally for almost a decade. In that time, he has expanded his business from a sole trader operation to a multi-faceted business employing close to one hundred people. His success is down to his ability to recognise market opportunities, bringing out the best in his staff and working hard to achieve the goals he sets himself.”

“During my time working at Smartfix, I was consistently impressed by Kane’s ability to lead with clear communication, apply a methodical approach to problem-solving, and develop practical systems that truly work in real-world conditions…He shows genuine care for both clients and team members alike, building trust and respect across the board.”

“Kane genuinely cares about people. He doesn’t see businesses as transactions; he sees them as vehicles for growth, both professional and personal. He challenges those around him to raise their standards, think strategically, and take ownership of their results.”
