Owner-Dependent Businesses Sell for Pennies

90% of small businesses fail the "bus test" — if you got hit by a bus tomorrow, would the business keep running? Buyers know this. And they price accordingly.

Owner-Dependent

1.5 - 2x

You ARE the business. Leads stop when you stop. Sales depend on your relationships. No documented systems.

Exit-Ready

3 - 4x

Business runs without you. Automated lead flow. Trained sales team. Documented processes a buyer can walk into.

On a business doing $1M in revenue, that's the difference between a $300K exit and a $600K+ exit.

Free 20-Minute Exit-Readiness Assessment

We'll evaluate the 5 key areas every buyer grades before making an offer.

1

Owner Dependency

Can it run without you?

2

Sales Systems

Repeatable or random?

3

Lead Follow-Up

Speed, consistency, tracking

4

Processes

Documented & transferable?

5

Growth Trajectory

Upward trend or plateau?

No sales pitch. If you're already exit-ready, we'll tell you. It costs nothing.
