Experience with leadership development training / coaching businesses?

Has anyone here successfully acquired a leadership / manager development training or coaching business? I know there are lots of good reasons why this could be a bad idea, but would love to know if anyone has done it successfully.

Related, for business owners and CEOs : Are there any management or leadership development programs or companies that you have used before to train your teams? This could include team building, conflict resolution, leadership ability, etc. This is a huge industry, but I don't hear very many anecdotal stories about these companies being used and wonder if it's more with larger companies with 1,000+ employees.

Thanks!
Daniel

I know that SBA has a program for SMB at https://www.sba.gov/sba-learning-platform/thrive-emerging-leaders-reimagined and I just learned about Catalant.com that does consulting for SMB in a variety of areas. I think the most difficult part is finding a firm with expertise in a given area of business.

Not familiar with acquisitions of these businesses - but another aspect of this space that could be interesting to look at are the assessment firms (Hogan, EQI, Center for Creative Leadership, TKI)
