The Owners & Founders Program · Now enrolling founding members

It's lonely at the top of a small business. It doesn't have to be.

Group training and 1:1 advising for small business owners who don't have an adviser yet — from trades and restaurants to retail, local services and industrial shops. Get an experienced adviser, a room of local owners who get it, and a clear plan for the next 12 months.

Who it's for

This is for you if you've built something real — and it's starting to run you.

You own a small business — a shop, crew, restaurant, warehouse or service business — and don't have an adviser yet.
Revenue is fine, but profit, time and headspace aren't.
You don't have a board, a mentor or anyone who'll tell you the honest truth.
You'd rather make big decisions with people who've been there than guess alone at midnight.
What you get

Your own board of advisers — without the corporate price tag.

Monthly group training

Hands-on sessions on leadership, branding, marketing and growth with a small room of non-competing local owners.

1:1 advising

Private sessions to turn group insights into your specific plan — and hold you to it.

Your 12-month plan

A one-page plan with targets for profit, team and your own time — reviewed every quarter.

Funding & exit guidance

Get ready for a loan, a second location or a future sale — with help preparing the numbers and the business.
