Every leader needs

someone in their corner.

Whether you’re growing to exit, stepping into a leadership role, or navigating the chaos of change.

We’ve got your back.

Running a business can feel like a battle. Intense, fast-moving, sometimes overwhelming.

But you don’t have to go it alone.

At Blood, Sweat and Business, we work with owners and leaders who are ready to grow fast, make bold decisions, and deliver real results, without burning out or losing control.

Whether you’re gearing up for sale, scaling post-acquisition, or stuck in a messy situation, we help you focus on what matters and deliver a knockout performance when it counts.

Solo gets you so far.

Together takes you further.

If you’re running a business that’s growing fast (or needs to), you’ve probably worn every hat there is.

But just because you can do it all, doesn’t mean you should.

It’s time to stop juggling.

Whether you’re stepping into a top role, planning succession, or simply want your life back we’re here to help.

Grow to Exit Partnerships

For when you’re thinking long-term and want a smart, supported way to get there.

You don’t have to walk the road to exit alone. Whether you want to step back in a few years or just know your business isn’t ready to sell yet, we’ll help you:

  • Match with professional leaders who can bring fresh capability and to help you prepare for a strong exit when the time is right

  • Set up win-win partnerships with clear goals and creative deal structures (e.g. sweat equity, buy-in)

  • Prepare for a clean, valuable exit in 2–5 years

  • Develop relationships with advisors and investors

Ideal if you’re an owner preparing to grow or transform before negotiating an exit, or a professional with valuable skills looking to join forces with an entrepreneur to improve your commercial knowledge or get into ETA (entrepreneurship through acquisition).
