# XO Business

> XO Business is the community for couples who build a business together — husband-and-wife teams, life partners and copreneurs. Plain-English guidance on work-life balance, communication, roles and boundaries, burnout, keeping the spark alive, scaling the business together and business trips that double as time together — plus a free account for every couple-run business. Educational only; not therapy, legal or financial advice.

XO Business is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent member businesses. Content is educational only — not professional advice. Part of the R0cketShip network.
