Peoria Entrepreneur Launches Tended Sprout to Help Business Owners Scale Without Burnout

PEORIA, Ill. - Rezul -- Bre Henderson announces the launch of Tended Sprout Co., a systems and operations consulting studio designed to help established service providers build sustainable backend infrastructure that supports growth without causing burnout.

The new venture represents an evolution of Henderson's five-year experience running Henderson VA, a virtual assistant business serving Central Illinois entrepreneurs. After working with dozens of business owners, Henderson identified a critical gap in the market: successful entrepreneurs who have outgrown basic task support and need strategic operations consulting.

"I kept seeing the same pattern," Henderson explains. "Business owners would reach a certain level of success, but their backend systems couldn't keep up. They were trapped in reactive mode, putting out fires instead of leading their businesses forward. That's when I realized they didn't just need help with tasks—they needed someone to build the systems that would give them back control."

Tended Sprout Co. offers three core services: Blooming Systems (one-day workflow intensives), Sprout-to-Scale Blueprint (4-6 week systems builds), and Fully Tended Build (comprehensive six-month digital headquarters creation). Services focus on workflow automation, operations strategy, and creating documentation that allows business owners to delegate with confidence.

The studio serves online service providers and coaches who are typically 3-5 years into business, generating consistent revenue but feeling overwhelmed by chaotic operations. According to recent studies, 54 percent of founders experienced burnout in the past year, and businesses lose 20-30 percent of annual revenue to operational inefficiency.

Henderson brings expertise in project management systems including ClickUp, Dubsado and Honeybook, along with deep connections to the Central Illinois business community through organizations including Founding Females and NAWBO.

"Structure doesn't have to feel rigid," Henderson notes. "The right systems actually create more freedom, not less. That's what 'tended' means—thoughtful, intentional care that helps your business grow sustainably."

Tended Sprout Co. will serve clients nationally while maintaining strong roots in the Peoria entrepreneurial ecosystem. The company operates virtually, allowing flexible service delivery while keeping overhead low.
