Press Release

Cheshire, UK - August 27, 2025

Business Partnership is delighted to announce a new strategic partnership with The Value Builder System™, a leading global methodology for assessing and improving the value of privately owned businesses. This collaboration brings together Business Partnership’s proven expertise in business sales, valuations, and exit planning with The Value Builder System’s evidence-based approach to helping owners increasing the value of their companies ahead of sale or succession.

Through this partnership, Business Partnership’s clients will benefit from The Value Builder System’s eight key drivers of value, providing a clear, structured process to increase attractiveness to buyers and deliver stronger outcomes at exit. With seven Accredited Value Guides across the UK, our nationwide team is uniquely placed to combine local market knowledge with a globally recognised framework.

Paul Dodgshon, Managing Director and Accredited Value Guide™ commented:

“Our mission has always been to help business owners secure the best possible result when selling. This partnership strengthens that mission by giving us a proven, consistent, and highly practical approach that works in any sector.”

John Warrillow, Founder of The Value Builder System™ and Built To Sell explains:

“At the core of The Value Builder System is a simple but powerful principle: businesses that are designed to run without their owners, built around repeatable systems, not singular personalities, are the ones that truly deliver value. Partnering with Business Partnership means more UK business owners can access this framework through advisors who understand both the local market and the real drivers of long-term value. In this partnership we can give owners the clarity, resilience, and details the choices they need to make to deliver the best possible outcome when it’s time to move on.”

This alliance reflects both organisations’ shared commitment to providing business owners with trusted, transparent, and results-driven advice ensuring they can plan their next chapter with confidence.

Geoff Kwateng, Partner, Guildford Office and Accredited Value Guide™ further commented:

“The Value Builder framework gives our clients real clarity. It identifies exactly where their business excels, where it needs attention, and how to make it more valuable in the eyes of a buyer.”
