How We Got Here

Started in 2018 with one simple idea – business education should prepare you for real work, not exams. Here's what we've learned along the way.

2018

Started Small, Stayed Focused

Launched with twelve business owners who were frustrated with generic courses. We spent six months just listening to what they actually needed. Turns out, most training programmes skip the boring-but-crucial stuff like cash flow management and realistic growth planning.

2020

Survived the Chaos

When everything went sideways, our participants kept their businesses running because they knew their numbers inside out. That validated our approach – teach fundamentals first, fancy strategies later. We helped 200+ businesses navigate unprecedented challenges.

2023

Refined Our Method

After working with over 800 business owners, patterns emerged. The ones who succeeded focused on systems, not shortcuts. We redesigned everything around practical implementation rather than theoretical knowledge.

2025

Looking Forward

This year we're expanding our hands-on workshops and adding more industry-specific content. The goal remains the same – give you tools that work in the real world, not just in case studies.

Learning That Fits Your Actual Life

  • Work at your own pace – some people need three months, others take six. Both approaches work fine.
  • Choose morning sessions, evening workshops, or weekend intensives based on what fits your schedule.
  • Get personalised guidance when you're stuck – real support, not automated responses.
  • Access everything online or join in-person sessions in Southampton – your choice.

Learn With People Who Get It

You're not studying alone. Connect with other business owners facing similar challenges, share practical solutions, and build relationships that last beyond the programme.

Monthly Roundtables

Small group discussions where everyone brings real challenges from their business. No theory – just practical problem-solving with peers.

Peer Review Sessions

Share your financial plans and get honest feedback from people who've been there. Sometimes an outside perspective spots what you've missed.

Industry Networks

Connect with business owners in your sector. Compare notes, share suppliers, and learn from each other's experiences in similar markets.

Before this programme, I was making decisions based on gut feeling and hoping for the best. Now I actually understand my cash flow patterns and can plan properly. It's not revolutionary stuff – just solid fundamentals that somehow nobody teaches you when you start a business.
