You’ve built the experience. You know how to make commercial decisions and deliver results.
Now you’re thinking about what comes next.
Instead of starting a business from scratch, there is another path: acquire an established business and make it your own.
We are looking to connect with ambitious entrepreneurs and experienced leaders who are ready to move from working in a business to owning and leading one.
Start with something already established
Acquiring an existing business means stepping into an operation that already has customers, revenue, people, systems, and a track record.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Who are we looking for?
You don’t necessarily need to have founded a company before. You might be a senior executive, general manager, commercial leader, operator, or entrepreneur who has reached the point where you want your capability and effort invested in something you own.
