We've built companies from nothing, acquired businesses, dealt with the headaches that come with growth and eventually sold for seven and eight figures.
And if there's one thing we've learned, it's that what you think is possible changes considerably depending on who you spend time with.
When you're surrounded by owners running £2m businesses, getting to £5m can feel like an enormous achievement.
Then you meet someone who's built a £30m company, acquired three competitors and sold for a sum that means they'll never need to work again.
Suddenly, the conversation changes.
The questions get bigger. The decisions become more ambitious. And the limits you thought existed start to look a lot less convincing.
We wanted more of those conversations.
We wanted British owners who had already built something successful to spend time with people who would push them to go much further.
To make serious acquisitions. Build companies worth tens of millions. Create wealth outside their businesses. Step away from day-to-day operations. Or sell for enough to secure their families' futures.
That means spending time with owners who've actually done it, rather than listening to another motivational speaker or paying somebody to tell them how to run a company.
That's why we created Rare Company.
A private membership where experienced and ambitious British owners share what they know, challenge one another and help each other build businesses far beyond what they have today.
We want more British owners building £10m, £20m and £50m companies. And we want Rare Company to be one of the reasons they get there.
Since joining, my group has increased in value to nearly £10 million, and I've taken more time for my family and invested over £500,000 outside of the business. Compared to advisors, this has been a major breath of fresh air.”

Christopher R · Co-CEO, iGaming Tech SuppliersIt's the only room I've been in where nobody tried to sell anything to me or wanted anything from me. I never felt like the smartest, but I often feel like I can add significant value to others in my Circle when talking about their net worth.”
