Welcome to Next Opportunity Group
How We Are Different
Driving your business to the next level
You are hungry to take your business to the next level. You have major growth goals – organically or through acquisitions. And in some cases, plans to sell and exit.
But you recognize the thinking and practices that got your business to its current level will not take your business to the next level.
We provide systems and structure to accelerate your growth, identify and help close major opportunities, and help overcome both old and new hurdles.

We grow clients’ business equity value through our Six Parallel Tracks to Success proprietary methodology, including:
- Sales & Marketing

- Operational Best Practices
We also connect the business to sources of capital which share their values
Family Advisory
We work closely with multiple generations of families to help them build a thriving long term family culture through:
- Near and longer-term strategic planning
- intergenerational leadership
- succession planning
- family council, and
- family governance needs
Immerse your Business and Family into an Ecosystem of Success
