Our Story
Our Experience
Business degrees, MBAs, and years in the corporate world taught us that the primary objective of business is to maximize profit for the shareholders. We learned the business rigor and financial strategies to optimize the organizational performance to achieve a desired result – profit.
Then life, travel, volunteering, and working in a non-profit illuminated the positive impact that business could have if it returned to its roots and focused on providing value to society, including but not exclusively the shareholders. We also witnessed the inefficiency associated with so many mission driven entities where teams labor diligently however their impact is stifled by limited financial understanding or financial management.
Finally, we worked with dozens of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who had the creative/technical/visionary skill to offer incredible products and services, but lacked the business acumen to grow and lead their businesses to the next level. Thus, both the profit and the impact pursued were limited.
The problem was consistent, the leader didn’t have the business background or skill required nor the capital/cash flow to hire a full-time busiess partner.
From this need Business Stewardship Partners was born, a partner committed to helping you steward your organization to achieve the financial and impact objectives you seek.
Our Philosophy
We believe:
· Business is a tool to create and distribute value to all the stakeholders
· Non-profit organizations still require sound business management
· Stewarding a business is a great responsibility and we take our role seriously
