The Problem
"You've built this over decades. You know what it's worth. But in the eyes of a buyer, they only care about getting a good deal. We build your business to be worth more. Period."

The Truth
The Brutal Truth About Your Exit
A business that lives in your head and depends on your hands is hard to sell and cheap to buy. This is completely avoidable, yet very few invest in the solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
How much does this actually cost?
The initial Acquisition Inspection is completely free. If your business is a fit, the deep-dive Acquisition Roadmap is a flat $10,000. If you hire us to execute the plan, the build fee is priced based on your size, but it costs a fraction of what you would pay a General Manager. Here is the real difference: when you sell, every dollar of that build fee is credited back off your sale proceeds. Our real payout is a success fee on the new enterprise value we create above your current baseline. Here is a concrete example of how the math works: Take a $30 million-revenue HVAC business at $4 million EBITDA. Because it is owner-dependent, it would sell today at roughly a 5x multiple, meaning the business is worth about $20 million. Over the course of the build, we transform it into a documented, management-run operation with growing recurring revenue. When it goes to market, it now commands a 7x multiple and sells for $28 million. That is $8 million of newly created enterprise value. Our success fee is carved directly out of that $8 million upside—which means we are paid from money that simply did not exist before we showed up.
02
What if I pay for the Roadmap and it’s just generic fluff?
You are not paying for a template; you are paying for a complete, expert map of your business engine. The Roadmap comes with a hard guarantee: if our deep-dive does not uncover at least $100,000 of waste or trapped value in your operation, you get a full refund. The paid step carries no real risk.
03
Am I locked into hiring you for the 12-month build?
No. The Acquisition Roadmap is a real, prioritized plan that you own outright. You can hand it to your own crew to execute, or you can hire us to build it. Either way, the plan is yours to keep, with zero obligation to move forward.
04
What if we do the whole 12-month build and I decide not to sell?
You are in total control of your exit. If you decide not to sell, your worst-case scenario is that you got your entire operation professionally rebuilt for less than a GM’s salary. You walk away with a highly profitable, fully documented business that runs on process instead of running on your back.
05
Why shouldn’t I just hire a General Manager to do this?
A standard GM is a permanent payroll cost who is focused on the day-to-day, and they will not prepare your business for an exit. We build the specific operating systems that raise your valuation multiple, we project-manage the entire build, and our pay is heavily tied to the success of your sale. We are betting on your outcome, not billing you regardless.
06
Do you take equity in my business?
No, we do not take your equity. Our compensation model is built on a success fee, not an ownership stake. You pay the initial assessment and the working build fee—which is credited completely back to you at the time of sale. Our payout is strictly a 5% success fee on the new value we create above your locked baseline. You keep your equity; we just take a cut of the extra upside we put on the table.
07
Are you actually qualified to do this?
We are not life coaches, software reps, or career M&A advisors who have never run a crew. We have actually operated service businesses and sat in the General Manager chair. More importantly, our founder, Blair, has been on the buy-side of an acquisition roll-up. At Cancore, a commercial property services company, our founder, Blair, built the systems, team structures, and processes that made the operation scalable, driving an average of 115% month-over-month revenue growth in year one. In year two, those systems held 70% annualized growth on a 20% cold-outbound close rate into commercial and industrial buyers. When the company purchased another business, they leveraged those exact systems to roll the new acquisition into their portfolio. Following a merger, our founder, Blair, stepped into the General Manager seat, where the systems he built scaled through further acquisitions and outlasted his tenure. We have seen firsthand from the acquirer's chair what makes a business easy to absorb and what a buyer will pay a premium for—and we build that exact same value into your shop.
