Build

Growth that creates momentum.

We strengthen leadership, financial clarity, and operating discipline so value is real, not theoretical.

Strong businesses create options for CEOs and founders.

Build Now. Win Later.

Real value is in dependable growth, clear gross margin, good operating systems and solid leadership teams.

BUILD work closes those gaps before they cost you at the negotiating table.

What We Actually Do

The Work Behind the Exit

Exit readiness isn't a single event. It's a series of deliberate improvements.

Exit Readiness Assessment

We evaluate your business the way a buyer would. Where's the value? Where's the risk? What needs to change before you go to market?

Know exactly where you stand before making any moves.

What buyers actually look for.

Increases Value
  • Recurring or contracted revenue
  • Diversified customer base
  • Management team in place
  • Documented processes
  • Clean financials
  • Clear growth story
Decreases Value
  • Revenue tied to founder relationships
  • Top 3 customers = 50%+ revenue
  • Founder does everything
  • Tribal knowledge only
  • Messy or unclear books
  • No obvious next chapter

BUILD is optional.

Some founders come to us ready to sell. They don't need BUILD work—they need a process.

Others have work to do first. That's not a problem. It's a plan.

"BUILD and SELL can run together or separately. The goal is the same: an exit that reflects what you've built."

Timing

When does BUILD work make sense?

Good timing for BUILD
  • • Exit is 1–3 years away
  • • You know there are gaps but not which ones matter
  • • The business depends too much on you
  • • Revenue is strong but value feels unclear
  • • You want to maximize, not just transact
Skip BUILD if
  • • You're ready now and know it
  • • A buyer is already at the table
  • • Timeline is urgent (health, burnout, market)
  • • The business is already well-documented
  • • You've been through this before

Let's talk about where you are.

A conversation costs nothing. We'll tell you honestly whether BUILD work makes sense—or whether you're ready now.
