A different class of company for a different class of business owner

Rare Company is a private membership for ambitious British owners pursuing eight-figure businesses, significant exits and serious personal wealth.

Surround yourself with people who've already achieved what you're working towards, and others determined to get there.

You don't build an exceptional company surrounded by average ambition.

The people around you influence what you believe is possible, the decisions you make and ultimately what you achieve.

That's why we've brought together owners who've built, scaled, acquired and sold substantial businesses, alongside those with equally serious ambitions for what comes next.

People who can challenge your thinking, open doors, share hard-earned experience and hold you to the standards you've set for yourself.

This is not another business network. It’s a membership built for owners who intend to go a lot further.

Your Circle every month, the wider network when you need it, and experiences throughout the year.

Your Circle

A private board of owners who are building serious companies.

Eight to ten carefully selected owners meet in person every month in major British cities.

Each Circle is led by a founder who has built and sold businesses.

For three hours, you focus on what matters to the owners around the table:

Your numbersWhere the company stands and how quickly it's progressing.
Your challengesWhat is preventing you from achieving your ambitions?
Your decisionsGrowth, leadership, acquisitions, profitability, valuation, exits and more.
Your commitmentsWhat you'll do differently before the next meeting.

Nobody around the table is a direct competitor, and nobody is there to pitch or present.

It's an opportunity to get experienced perspectives on your biggest decisions, then hold yourself accountable for making progress.

Your Network

Access owners who've already achieved what you're working towards.

Your Circle is only part of Rare Company.

The national membership connects you with owners who've been through acquisitions, rapid growth, leadership transitions and significant exits.

You can ask questions, get introductions and draw on their experience whenever you need it.

The sorts of questions asked:

We're at £4m. What needs to change to reach £15m?
I want to remove myself from day-to-day operations. Who has done it successfully?
We're considering acquiring a competitor. What mistakes should we avoid?
How do I prepare this business for a £50m exit?
Most of my wealth is in the company. How have others handled that?
03

Your Experiences

Private events and experiences with owners you'd actually want to spend time with.

Rare Company organises private dinners, events and experiences throughout the year.

Motorsport, exceptional venues, overseas trips and access to founders and businesses you wouldn't otherwise get.

Some events revolve around business. Others are simply about enjoying the rewards of building one.

The objective is to build real relationships between members, not organise networking for the sake of it.

Who can join?

We select for ambition, not just achievement.

Our members are typically at £2m-£20m turnover (we have a minimum £1m annual turnover or significant cash exit entry requirement). But meeting the minimum doesn't guarantee a place.

  • We're looking for people who intend to build substantially bigger companies, make acquisitions, create financial independence, step away from operations or achieve significant exits.
  • Owners who want to learn from others, are prepared to share their own experience and can contribute to the success of the people around them.
  • Every applicant is interviewed and vetted.

Britain’s future 8‑figure owners belong here.

There are plenty of places for business owners to network. Very few where everyone around the table has serious ambitions of their own.
