Business Valuation

Comprehensive valuation analysis for operationally complex businesses. We understand inventory turns, labor efficiency, equipment utilization, and the operational metrics that drive value beyond EBITDA.

  • → Industry-specific multiple analysis
  • → Comparable transaction review
  • → SDE/EBITDA normalization
  • → Asset-based valuation floor
  • → Strategic value opportunities

Typical engagement: 2-3 weeks

SERVICE 03

Acquisition support including target identification, operational due diligence, and integration planning. Our operations background means we identify synergies and risks others miss.

Operational Advisory

Fractional leadership and transition readiness for owners who need experienced operational support—whether preparing for an eventual exit, stabilizing after an acquisition, or navigating a growth phase.

We embed with your team to solve real problems—improving service absorption, cleaning up financials, building the systems that make your business more valuable and easier to run.
