About Sacha

Who am I? I'm a father of three children and a stepfather to two more, an entrepreneur, and someone who thrives on extreme sports like mountain biking, sailing, and skiing. These diverse interests have shaped my perspective on life and business.

Family is at the core of what I cherish. The bonds we build in our personal lives can often mirror the dynamics within successful businesses. Both involve challenges, adventures, and a commitment to each other's well-being.

My journey in business spans over 30 years, during which I've set up numerous ventures and raised substantial capital for expansion. The definition of an entrepreneur, according to Google, is someone who establishes a business, taking financial risks in pursuit of profit. But I see us as more than that. We're explorers, adventurers, and problem solvers. We challenge conventions, seek solutions to every obstacle, and work to make things right.

Businesses often encounter moments when they lose perspective or get bogged down in details. My role has been to inject new energy and fresh perspectives into these situations, much like rekindling the spirit of a growing business. I think laterally and explore various aspects of business, from refining the model to forming strategic partnerships, optimizing teams, considering acquisitions, embracing technology, and securing investments. My goal is to uncover solutions to the most pressing challenges.

My entrepreneurial journey has been a rollercoaster ride with 11 different businesses under my belt. Funding them has always been a significant hurdle. In response, I built an equity and debt crowdfunding aggregator and raised an impressive £1.6 million to found NextFin, the world's first equity crowdfunding aggregator.

I continue to serve as the CEO of NextFin and NextCrowd, where we're working to reshape alternative finance and investments. We have recently moved into new offices in One Canary Wharf and are helping entrepreneurs get the funding they deserve and helping investors make the most of their money.

In addition to my many ventures, I currently lead Laser On Tour, the first mobile laser hair removal franchise in the UK, a pioneering business that my girlfriend and I co-founded after looking for a mobile solution for her. This venture ended up creating a six-figure business with no overheads. We're disrupting this rapidly growing market with our innovative approach, offering convenient and personalized laser hair removal in the comfort of people's homes.

We're transforming the lives of not only the franchisees with a six-figure income but also delivering empowerment, self-love, and confidence with every treatment. We have been recognized as the most disruptive franchise empowering women in the U.K.

I love entrepreneurs! We truly do shape the world we live in, and I’m proud to consider myself one. I enjoy overcoming challenges, nurturing teams, and helping businesses grow. This bio offers a glimpse into who I am and what drives me. If you'd like to connect and explore how my experiences can benefit your business, please reach out.
