You Built a Business for Freedom… Not to Be Its Full-Time Employee.
You've become the bottleneck — nothing moves without you.
Profit leaks and unclear margins eat away growth.
You're always firefighting instead of leading.
Most owners live in the "urgent box." The real breakthrough comes when you start working on the business, not in it.
The BSP STEP Framework gives you a clear, actionable path to move from chaos to clarity and effort to results.
The BSP STEP Framework — A Clear Path for Every Business Owner
Every owner's journey is different, but the BSP STEP Framework shows exactly where you are and what comes next on your path to business freedom.
STEP UP
Build a Better Business
Build clarity, structure, and profit foundations that make your business stronger — not heavier.
Define your vision and strategy.
Focus on clarity, structure, and accountability.
Turn plans into consistent, profitable action.
STEP BACK
Lead for Scale and Freedom
Build leadership, rhythm, and systems that drive sustainable scale.
Strengthen leadership and culture.
Align your people, systems, and rhythm of operations.
Step back to focus on growth, not firefighting.
STEP OUT
Create Value and Choice
Create wealth, legacy, and choice — your business, on your terms.
Prepare for succession, sale, or lifestyle freedom.
Build enterprise value and governance.
Turn your business into an asset that serves your life.

Why Business Owners Need the BSP Step Program
Owners feel trapped in day-to-day ops
Many NZ SMEs say the business can't run without them, they're the bottleneck.
STEP UP gives strategic clarity and a 60-Day plan to break the cycle.
Don't have clear margin or pricing targets
Profit leaks go unnoticed when numbers aren't visible.
STEP UP → STEP BACK installs KPIs, rhythms, and accountability.
Have no documented exit or succession plan
Without a plan, value is left on the table and options shrink.
STEP OUT prepares the business and the owner for choice and value.
Results from Real NZ Businesses
Real growth, real freedom — straight from the owners we've worked with.
Keith Paton
Keith Paton Joinery, Cambridge
"Going through the STEP Up Programme completely changed the direction of our business. When we first met BSP, we were thinking about selling, but the business wasn't really ready, we would've accepted a lower price just to move on. Our advisor encouraged us to stay on, improve our systems, and lift profitability. Within a couple of years, the business was in much better shape, and we were able to sell to one of our long-time employees for a far better price. It was a great outcome all round."
Frank Pope
Pope Electrical, Papamoa
"Working with Business Success Partners and their STEP Philosophy has completely transformed Pope Electrical. For the first time in our 60-year history, we have clear financials, measurable results, and a solid plan for growth — plus a consultant we can bounce ideas off and get constructive feedback. Our turnover and staff productivity have increased, and I finally have more time to spend with my family — I can't recommend them enough!"
Alanna Aarts
Thoroughbred Horse Floats & Thoroughbred Engineering, Auckland
"Before working with BSP Advisory, we knew we had potential — but we weren't operating at our best. We needed stronger systems and clearer direction for the future. Our advisor helped us focus on building a great team, developing strong leadership, and creating a culture where everyone could thrive. Step by step, we implemented changes that transformed how the business runs. Now, we're in a better, stronger position than we've ever been before. We have the freedom to step back, knowing we can delegate with complete trust. We're especially proud that our son has joined the business — succession planning has become a reality, not just a distant goal. The journey with BSP has been about more than growth — it's been about building something sustainable for the next generation"
Tony Wright
Laser Plumbing Matamata
"Working with BSP transformed our business. With a truly hands-on advisor, we set sharp goals, built stronger leadership, closed profit leaks, and executed with discipline. Our whole team was engaged, ideas were sharpened, and results followed. Measurable growth and higher margins. After Step Up and Step Back, we confidently stepped out with a very successful sale. Highly recommend for SMEs."
Chris Morris
Powdercoating NZ, Waikato
"We have now been working in collaboration with our Advisor from BSP for 6 years. This has been one of the best decisions we have ever made in the nearly twenty-year history of our business. We now have a crystal-clear vision and solid business plan in place and the business has increased turnover significantly in the last financial year."
Daniel te Kaat
Slaughterhaus, Christchurch
"Since working with BSP, the systems we have put into place have let me take control of the business, rather than it take control of me. We've been able to increase revenue and increase profit. BSP was able to establish the gaps in my knowledge and the problems in my business very quickly and explain those to me in a way that was very easy for me to pick up and gave me the ability to be confident in the admin/management side of the business."
