Engineer higher-quality EBITDA buyers are willing to pay for
We install proprietary operational systems that remove specific constraints suppressing EBITDA, predictability, and buyer confidence, and document the impact so it survives due diligence. For owners planning an exit in the next 2-5 years who are capped by inefficiency, founder dependency, and manual operations.
For business owners who are ready to move on whether that's retirement, pursuing new opportunities, or simply wanting to step away from day-to-day operations. We don't guess at valuation. We increase it by fixing the specific operational constraints that suppress EBITDA and scare buyers, and we do it in a way that survives due diligence.
What buyers actually pay for
Predictable Cash Flow
Reliable future revenue they can model
Operational Independence
Systems that run without key person risk
Scalable Margins
Revenue grows without proportional cost increase
Scalability
Growth without proportional cost increase
Operational software is one of the few tools that improves all four simultaneously. This is why buyers pay premium multiples: the business operates with higher quality earnings and lower risk.
Common valuation constraints
Most service businesses share similar structural issues that limit valuation.
Founder Dependency
Businesses reliant on the founder for delivery or relationships receive heavy valuation discounts.
Impact: 30-50% discount
No Systems That Operate Independently of People
Manual, people-heavy workflows create dependency and reduce scalability.
Result: Higher risk premium
Unpredictable Revenue
Project-based income creates uncertainty. Buyers can't confidently model future cash flows.
Impact: Higher risk premium
Manual Operations
Inefficient processes reduce EBITDA and require constant oversight from leadership.
Result: Suppressed earnings
These constraints compound. These don't just reduce EBITDA, they reduce buyer confidence, which suppresses the multiple.

How We Engineer EBITDA Uplift
EBITDA uplift comes from removing specific, measurable constraints (time leakage, revenue leakage, manual dependency). The magnitude depends on how exposed your business currently is to these constraints.
We install proprietary operational systems that remove your most expensive constraints. This increases EBITDA and improves earnings quality, translating directly into higher exit value.
Core Insight: Buyers pay for predictable cash flow, operational independence, scalable margins, and low execution risk. Operational software is one of the few tools that improves all four simultaneously.
Proprietary Operational Systems
Remove Constraints → Increase EBITDA → Improve Multiple
Install systems that remove operational drag
Higher EBITDA + Better earnings quality
Higher enterprise value at exit
What It Is:
Proprietary operational systems integrated into your existing workflows. Designed to remove specific constraints: time leakage, revenue loss, manual dependency, margin drag. We don't build software unless the valuation impact is clear upfront.
EBITDA Uplift:
Directly measurable improvements. Higher EBITDA multiplied by your valuation multiple equals immediate enterprise value increase. Proven in case studies.
Multiple Expansion:
Improved earnings quality reduces risk and supports the case for higher valuation multiples. Buyers pay premium multiples for these characteristics.
How buyers can credit both earnings improvement and risk reduction
Buyers evaluate both measurable improvements and risk factors. Here's what they can credit:
Before
After
What is directly measurable
- •Cost savings
- •Time savings
- •Reduced leakage
- •Higher reported EBITDA
What buyers may credit
- •Improved earnings quality
- •Lower key-person risk
- •Better diligence outcomes
- •Support for upper-end multiples (not guaranteed expansion)
Note: Multiples are set by buyers and market conditions. Our role is to remove the operational risks that most commonly suppress them.

You're the right fit if:
Profitable service business generating $1M-$10M+ revenue
Thinking seriously about exit within 2-5 years, or ready to move on and want to maximize value before selling
Valuation is capped by inefficiency, founder dependency, or manual operations
Want operational systems that remove constraints and document impact for exit
You understand that valuation outcomes depend on sustainability, buyer perception, and market timing, and want to focus on improving the inputs buyers actually underwrite
This may not fit if:
You're not profitable or generating less than $1M revenue
You're looking for quick fixes rather than strategic infrastructure
Your operations are already fully systematized
You're not prepared for the investment or implementation commitment
Illustrative example: how operational improvements flow through valuation mechanics
This example shows the mechanical flow of operational improvements through valuation math. It is illustrative, not predictive.
Assumptions:
- • Sustained EBITDA improvement
- • Buyer credits reduced operational risk
- • Market multiples remain within historical ranges
Pre-Software Valuation
Post-Software Valuation
Valuation Increase: $1.2M - $1.8M (+40-60%)
Note: Results vary, and multiples are ultimately set by buyers, but these are the exact mechanics buyers use. The increase comes from both higher earnings and improved earnings quality.
Who this is for
Profitable service businesses ($1-10M+ revenue) whose valuation is capped by inefficiency, and whose owners are thinking seriously about exit within 2-5 years.
