Business Partnership Structuring | Pressure-Test Your Partnership Idea

A strong partnership requires more than complementary skills and good chemistry.

Before committing, assess what each partner genuinely contributes, whether working together creates a commercial advantage that neither could achieve as effectively alone, and whether you’re aligned on how the business should operate.

Differences around growth, risk, control, reinvestment or decision-making aren’t necessarily deal-breakers.

Identifying them early allows you to put the right operating processes and commercial terms in place to manage potential issues.

Behind the Scenes | Workshop Day

A little behind the scenes before we get down to business.

Setting up the room, testing the tech, capturing some content and plenty of laughs along the way.

I love creating an environment in my partnership and business acquisition workshops where people can challenge their thinking, learn from each other and enjoy the experience at the same time.

Serious conversations don’t have to be boring. 🙌

Business Acquisition Readiness | Initial Screening Framework

One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is spending too much time analysing opportunities that should have been eliminated much earlier.

Before investing significant time in commercial, financial and legal due diligence, assess the opportunity through three commercial lenses: strategic fit, seller motivation and commercial quality.

A structured initial screening framework helps you decide whether to Proceed, Park or Walk Away, allowing you to focus your time and energy on the opportunities that genuinely deserve it.

Professional Relationships | Saying Thank You

This lunch was a small way of saying thank you to some of my longest-standing clients and trusted referral partners for their support over the years.

I’m incredibly grateful for the relationships we’ve built. Many of the people I work with have become genuine friends, and I never take the trust they’ve placed in me for granted.

Thank you for a fantastic afternoon.

Many founders negotiate equity based on time and effort alone.

Ownership determines how future value is shared, so it should reflect both the value contributed today and the value expected to be created over time.

Before agreeing equity ownership, make sure you’ve agreed how value will be created and contributed.

Has this changed the way you think about negotiating equity?

Meet Mark Sacco | Strategic & Commercial Advisor

After more than 20 years working with founders and business owners, one thing has become clear to me.

The quality of a commercial decision is often determined long before the decision itself—by the quality of the thinking, conversations and perspectives that shape it.

That’s why I founded Sacco Advisory — to help founders and business owners navigate important partnership, acquisition and strategic decisions by bringing structure, clarity and ex*****on discipline to the conversations that matter most.

Private Partnership Session | Creating the Right Environment

Some of the best partnership conversations don’t happen in a meeting room.

Every private partnership session is tailored to the participants to create an environment where people feel comfortable having open, honest and productive conversations.

Better conversations lead to better partnership decisions.

Client Testimonial | Foundations for Growth

Stuart recently shared his experience after we worked together during an important stage in Restive’s growth.

It’s great to hear the commercial and operational foundations I helped establish continue to support the business today.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Stu.
