Providing you with the practical tools, strategic insights, and plain-English training to scale or sell your business with clarity and confidence

Scale Strong

Learn how to grow through acquisitions and partnerships. From buying the right business to integrating it, or structuring a JV that doesn’t fall flat, this is scale with strategy behind it.

Sell Smart

Step into the sale process prepared, not playing catch-up. Learn how deals really work so you can protect your value, avoid regret, and exit on your terms.

Exactly what you need

You’ve built something real. But when it’s time to scale or sell, it can feel like you’re stepping into a game where everyone else knows the rules, except you.

Inside Knowledge

Grounded on real-world experience from someone who’s led deals and driven growth, as both a deal advisor and in-house at major corporates.

Owner First

Built for business owners making decisions that shape their future, not for VC-backed startups or corporate execs with safety nets.

Straight Talk

No jargon. No Ego. Just clear, practical guidance you can actually use without needing a finance degree.

Advisor Aware

We don’t replace your advisors. We help you know what to ask, when to push back, and how to stay in control.

Built on experience, not theory

I’m Emily, founder of Next Move. Over my career I’ve led deals and driven strategy from both sides of the table, first as an advisor, then inside corporate strategy, business development, and M&A teams.

My experience is your advantage

My strength is translating all this into something you can understand, apply and act on.That means you're not paying advisors top dollar just to educate you as they go, an expensive and inefficient way to get up to speed.Even worse, without that understanding, you risk being left out of key decisions, trusting they’re covering your blind spots (when they might not be).
