Did you know that that 1 in 4 businesses fail in their first year?

I'm Brad Rosser.

I've worked with 2 of the world's most famous entrepreneurs, Virgin's Sir Richard Branson and Australia's Alan Bond. I have also been highly successful in growing businesses in my own right.

I believe that people who build businesses are the cornerstone of every prosperous economy, that's why I spend my life working on businesses from startups to existing businesses looking to build profits. I love doing the hard yards in the trenches with my partners who are trying to go to the next level. That is my passion and my skill. It's what I do.

My success in starting up businesses has given me financial security. So far, I have raised over £1bn with startup investments ranging from as little as £20,000 to as much as £900million.

I have nurtured and ultimately sold businesses with values from several million pounds to over hundreds of millions of pounds. I spend my time travelling around the world looking at new ways of life, new ways to do things.

I am an Enterprise Week ambassador and also a regular speaker at events, including some of the leading start-up expos, but I am still in there getting early stage businesses up and running then selling them for profit. This is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

My hands on, practical, no nonsense approach, my straight talking, my 'can do' attitude and my focus on results have made me a successful business builder.
