The Math of Getting Ready
Add-Backs Documented
$10,000
Buyer Multiple:
4x
Added To Your Price ($10,000 x 4):
$40,000
Every dollar of earnings you can document is a dollar the buyer pays a multiple on. Every dollar you can't is a dollar you hand over for free.
The Recast
We review 3 years of P&Ls to identify the add backs that belong in your earnings — and flag the ones a buyer won't accept.
The Risk Review
We stress-test customer concentration, owner dependency, and financial hygiene the way a buyer will — while there's still time to address them.
The Broker Opinion of Value
A defensible valuation range built on recast earnings and comparable transaction data for businesses like yours.
The Strategy Session
A 60-minute Zoom call with Erik to walk through the number, what's driving it, and what it would take to move it.
We Don't Just List. We Package.
Buyers judge on first impression. Your business goes to market as a documented opportunity, not a classified ad.
The Offering Memorandum
A full offering memorandum: recast earnings, operating data, customer and revenue detail, and a documented growth case. The document a buyer's lender needs to say yes.
Targeted Buyer Outreach
We research strategic acquirers and qualified buyers specific to your business and contact them directly. Every buyer signs an NDA before receiving anything.
The Story Behind The Numbers
Every business has a fact that looks like a problem until someone explains it properly. A concentrated customer that's really fifty-six independent locations. A soft year with a reason behind it. We find those and answer them in the document, before a buyer uses them to negotiate.
A Partnership Built by a Founder, Not a Salesman.
I’ve sat in your seat and sold four of my own companies. I know exactly what it takes to get the deal you’ve earned
