    Most owners carry a number in their head that came from a peer, a broker's teaser, or a rule of thumb. It is usually wrong in one direction or the other, and both errors are expensive.

    A real valuation gives you a range, the reasoning behind it, and — more importantly — a map of what would move it.

    01

    How we build the number

    We normalize earnings to defensible adjusted EBITDA, benchmark against comparable private transactions, and test the result against an income approach. Where the business has meaningful tangible assets or unusual capital intensity, we run an asset-based cross-check.

    • Quality-of-earnings style normalization and add-back review
    • Comparable private transaction analysis by industry and size band
    • Discounted cash-flow model with defensible discount rate
    • Working capital peg and net debt bridge to equity value
    02

    The value drivers behind the multiple

    Two businesses with identical EBITDA routinely trade at very different multiples. The spread comes from risk: customer concentration, owner dependence, contract quality, margin stability, management depth, and the credibility of the financials.

    We score each driver, quantify its effect on the multiple, and show you the value at stake in fixing it.

    03

    From valuation to a value plan

    The report is not the deliverable. The deliverable is a prioritized plan: which three or four drivers to attack, what each is worth, and how long each takes. Owners who run this process for eighteen to thirty-six months before a sale routinely capture a materially higher multiple.
