Most founders build great businesses but leave millions on the table when they exit.

Why? You’ve been optimizing for revenue, not enterprise value.

By the time you’re ready to sell, the issues that destroy multiples are already baked in - and buyers see them immediately.

I install the operational infrastructure and growth systems that prepare founder-led businesses for 8-9 figure exits.

Not “exit prep” in your final six months. This is 12-36 month transformation work.

The 3 Exits Every Founder Must Complete:

1. Exit the Chaos - Build systems so the business runs on infrastructure, not heroics

2. Exit the Operations - Develop leadership so you’re CEO, not operator

3. Exit the Business - Sell for premium multiples

Most founders are still trapped in Exit #1 when they decide to sell.

My Background:

I spent 10 years as a Private Equity CEO and Operating Partner across 27 transactions totaling over $5 billion in exits. I’ve sat on both sides of the table - building businesses and evaluating them for acquisition.

I’m also the author of Exit for Millions, the #1 bestselling book on building businesses for premium exit.

How I Work:

It starts with a Strategic Consult - a half-day intensive where I show you what your business is worth today, what it could be worth tomorrow, what’s limiting your value, and the roadmap to exit for big multiples.

From there, we work together through a structured 1-3 year partnership where I install the operational infrastructure and growth systems that transform your business into an institutional-grade asset ready for premium exit.

PE firms aren't geniuses. They just know something you don't.

How to turn $10M into $50M in 3-5 years while you're grinding for 15% growth.

After 12 years in PE, I'm going to give you their playbook.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:

𝟭. 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵

Not just any growth. Predictable, repeatable, scalable growth through systems.

You know, the boring stuff founders avoid because it's not sexy.

𝟮. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

PE firms are ruthless about EBITDA. Cut waste. Optimize pricing.

A 3-point margin improvement on $20M = $600K added to valuation. That's real money, not vanity metrics.

𝟯. 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴

Strategic debt accelerates growth without diluting equity. PE uses leverage intelligently.

Most founders are terrified of debt. PE firms use it like rocket fuel.

𝟰. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

This is where monster returns happen. I was part of a 12-acquisition roll-up that exited for $2B at 14x.

While you're obsessing over organic growth, someone's building an empire through M&A.

𝟱. 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

Move from 4x to 8x by becoming more attractive than competitors. Better systems. Stronger team. Lower risk.

Same business. Double the exit price.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:

Most founders pull one lever: revenue.

PE firms pull all five simultaneously.

That's how they create 5x returns in 36 months while you're grinding for 15% annual growth.

You don't need to sell to PE to use this playbook.

Start pulling all five levers. Systematically.

That's how you build a business buyers fight over.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝟱 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀? 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁? 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄.

With over 20 years experience in the healthcare sector I have a global focus and vision of improving health and wellbeing worldwide and am the Founder of Balmoral Partners and TDH. TDH began in 2006 and has evolved over the years into its current portfolio form, acquiring eighteen other businesses along the way. 

Our six main verticals are Alphagenix, Normedica, GT Vision, Beacon, JHP Recruitment and Safety Mundo.

Alphagenix is our Men’s Hormonal Healthcare company and aims to improve access to appropriate hormone replacement therapy whilst educating society about the Andropause. Normedica offer Medical Supplies and Pharmaceuticals worldwide whilst GT Vision supplies Microscopy, Beacon Homecare Services currently provide Domiciliary Care in the North of England, Safety Mundo provides world class Health & Safety Services and JHP Recruitment speaks for itself.

Balmoral Partners is our new Healthcare Holding Company based in the UAE. If you’re looking for investment, help scaling or wishing to exit, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I’m a life long learner and firmly believe there is a strong relationship between spirituality and leadership that is rarely discussed. I meditate and journal most days, love walking in nature and believe that business and leadership is about Inspiration, Co-Creation and Empowerment. 

I published my first book, ‘The Business of Health’ in 2019 and second in 2023, ‘Ageing and the Andropause, Reclaim your youth with Testosterone Replacement Therapy’. A third will likely focus on listening to your intuition and business growth. 

In addition to our own M&A activity, I mentor other business owners who want to scale their businesses using the 6 key concepts that have allowed us to grow six 7-figure companies and successfully exit two.

I have a long term plan of completing the Explorers Grand Slam which is conquering the 7 Summits plus setting foot on both Poles. So far I’ve completed Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua and Mount Elbrus. 


By 2030, entrepreneurship will be dead in the UK.

You can already see it happening:

In 2025, 12,000 millionaires have already left the UK.
3,790 companies are prepared to relocate in different country.
2.1 million young people are considering leaving theUK for a better life.

These people are building businesses, creating jobs and taking risks.

Yet the UK is making life harder for them:

Higher red tape
Higher corporation tax
Higher personal tax on dividends
Less government support for SMEs
Less quality of life
Less upside

At this rate, it’s not crazy to imagine a future where anyone with ambition leaves.

Because where you live matters as much as what you build.

If your environment holds you back, move somewhere that supports your ambition.

If you ever have to choose between:

Being a better father
Being a better husband
Being a better business owner
Being a better friend

Chances are… you’re not fully showing up anywhere.

I get it. You’re doing your best, trying to hold everything together at once.

But you can’t keep track of everything in your head and actually be present everywhere.

Which is why I’ve put together a simple worksheet to help founders like you track your year.

Only takes 20 minutes. Guides you through your wins, your missed moments, what held you back and what to fix before 2026.

Think of it as a pause button for your year.

So you don’t have to pick one.

Be the best dad, the best husband, the best founder.

I didn’t expect this response in the first 24 hours.

Yesterday I launched the Founder Year in Review Worksheet.

In less than a day, I’ve already heard from founders who:

Stopped guessing if they’re doing enough.
Spotted wins they didn’t even realise they had.
Spotted opportunities they completely overlooked.
Noticed how much time they spent avoiding tough decisions.
Saw how their health and relationships were being neglected.
Understood which parts of their business are actually profitable.

All of that in under 20 minutes.

If you want that same kind of clarity on your business, your relationships and yourself. 

This is exactly what you need.

Grab the worksheet. Reflect. Finish 2025 knowing exactly what to fix before 2026.

🌬️ Hundreds of us. One breath and only one Gregg Braden

Yesterday I stepped into a huge group breathwork session. No business cards, no PowerPoints, no noise. Just people, breathing together.

Funny how quickly things change when we drop the “busy” act and actually show up:

	•	Bodies softened
	•	Minds quieted
	•	People who walked in carrying the weight of the world… started laughing, crying, releasing, living

We keep trying to think our way out of stress.
Push harder. Grind more. Hustle brighter.

But here’s a truth Zig Ziglar would’ve smiled at:

💡 You can’t outperform a nervous system stuck in panic mode.

And Alan Watts would remind us:

💡 You don’t find stillness by chasing it. You find it when you finally stop running.

In business and life, we all want clarity, energy, smarter decisions, stronger leadership…

Yet most of us are operating on shallow breaths, tight chests, and nervous systems stuck in survival.

Yesterday reminded me:

Success isn’t speed. Success is presence.
And breath is the doorway back to it.

I felt so good I’m heading into a second session this morning.

Not to add another activity to the calendar… but to strip the noise away.

If you’ve never experienced breathwork with a large group, I highly recommend it.

If you want to join me at a session, event or retreat in the near future, DM me and I’ll share details.

Slow down. Breathe deeper.
Lead stronger.

🌬️ The smartest leaders know when to exhale.

Great leadership depends on mental clarity. When you slow down enough to think, reflect, and reset, you reduce noise and increase precision. Clear thinking leads to confident decisions - and confident decisions drive meaningful results.

Real wealth goes far beyond numbers - it’s measured in time, freedom, health, and presence. Financial success means little if you don’t have the capacity to enjoy the moments, relationships, and opportunities it creates. The richest leaders are the ones who build a life they can actually live, not just a business they can run.

#Leadership #WealthMindset #Freedom #PersonalDevelopment #Mindset #Success #LifeByDesign #SustainableSuccess

Financial growth isn’t just about earning more - it’s about shifting how money flows in your life. Those who build wealth focus on leverage, ownership, and assets that generate value without constant effort. When you understand how to make money work for you, you move from trading time for income to building long-term freedom.
