HOW WE PARTNER
We back ambition, not just numbers.
At Special Build Group, we understand that no two businesses—or founders—are the same. That’s why we offer flexible partnership models tailored to your goals, whether you’re looking to grow, simplify, or step away. Our role is to unlock the next stage of your business—with you, not for you.
Why partner with us?
Hands-on experience: We've sat on both sides of the table and know what it takes to scale, exit or professionalise.
Flexible and founder-friendly: We structure deals to suit your timeline, goals and business reality.
Straight talk, not sales talk: We say what we think, roll up our sleeves, and deliver real value from day one.
BUILDING BETTER TOGETHER.
MODE ONE: GROWTH PARTNERSHIP
For business owners ready to scale with support.
We work alongside founders to help grow their business—through operational improvements, strategic advice, and hands-on support where needed. This may involve:
Introducing systems to unlock larger contracts
Building out a professional leadership team
Preparing for future valuation or exit conversations
Structuring commercial deals and partnerships
Perfect for: Owners who want to grow but need a trusted partner to help navigate the next phase.
MODE TWO: EQUITY INVESTMENT
For founders looking to de-risk, fund growth or bring in expertise.
In select cases, we invest directly—either by buying a stake in the business or helping bring in funding through our partner network. We can structure deals that:
Allow you to take money off the table
Bring in smart capital without losing control
Fund bolt-on acquisitions or new service lines
Set a clear roadmap for a future exit
Perfect for: Owners looking for capital and capability—not just cash.
MODE ONE: EXIT SUPPORT
For owners preparing to sell, retire, or step back.
We help founders prepare their business for sale—whether that’s to us, to a third party, or via succession planning. We help:
Improve business readiness and attractiveness to buyers
Develop clear financials and commercial narratives
Maximise valuation through simple improvements
Support discreet, founder-first negotiations
Perfect for: Founders thinking about “what’s next” and wanting to go out on top.
