About The Small Business Engine
Where Structure Meets Strategy. And Growth Begins.
We help small business owners move forward with clarity, confidence, and practical momentum.
Whether you’re just getting started, trying to stabilise performance, or preparing to scale, The Small Business Engine gives you the tools, thinking, and structure to make confident business decisions at every stage.
🧭 Why We Exist
We created The Small Business Engine to fill a very real gap: small business owners weren’t lacking ideas — they were lacking clarity, structure, and support.
You don’t need more theory.
You need practical strategies that work in the real world, backed by people who’ve walked the path.

Our Story: From OXXEGEN™ to The Small Business Engine
“Back in 2014, I was preparing to introduce a UK software platform into the Australian market after having successfully established a US business in the Australasian and Asia-Pacific. I needed more than a name — I needed a vehicle for transformation.”
— Malcolm Glenn Pendlebury
From the need came the concept idea of OXXEGEN™ — a brand built on innovation, strategy, and sustainable growth. From these grassroots days, we have grown into a high-trust tier 3 advisory platform featuring our robust “OXXEGEN-Dimensions™ Program” focus on strategic business growth, coupled with leadership development.
Today, as a focused brand in our business group, we have introduced The Small Business Engine, which exists as the hands-on, tiered delivery arm for SMEs. Whether you’re starting out, building systems, or scaling for exit, we’re with you — not just as advisors, but as co-pilots in execution.
