Be the Leader Your Business Deserves

Smart strategy, smoother operations, and growth through the right deals - for owner-managed businesses ready to level up.

Running Your Business Shouldn’t Feel This Hard

You’ve built something real. But now it feels messy, stuck, or like it’s all on your shoulders. You’re not broken - you’re just doing too much without the right support.

We hear this all the time:

  • I’m making big decisions alone and second-guessing myself

  • We’re working hard, but I’m not seeing real progress

  • The team’s busy, but not always aligned

  • I don’t know if we should grow, fix things, or just survive this year

  • I’m exhausted - and I don’t want to feel like this forever

You Don’t Have to Figure It All Out Alone

We get it - running a business is tough, especially when things get complicated. That’s where we come in.

We know what it’s like to feel stuck, to have too much going on and no clear plan and to wonder if you’re making the right moves - or missing something big.

You’ve worked hard to build your business. You care about getting it right. And sometimes… you just need someone in your corner who knows what they’re doing.

I’m Michael, the founder of Corpana. I’ve spent over 15 years helping businesses grow, fix problems, raise money, and get bought or sold. I’ve worked on deals worth over £100 million, helped turn around messy teams, and built plans that actually get used - not just put on a shelf.

Big companies used to hire me. Now I work with owner managed businesses like yours - because you deserve smart, honest advice without all the fluff.

I’m also part of the CDI Global network, a leading international strategy & M&A advisory group - giving my clients access to global insights, cross-border deal support, and deep industry connections.
