For business owners doing $2M–$8M in revenue

How to build a sellable business and exit at a 3–8× multiple

even if you're not selling now and don't understand finance

the framework behind $38M+ in SME exits including a near-8× multiple and a $14.6M upfront cash deal

Why Work With Me

1. You want to build a sellable business whether you sell or not

A sellable business and a valuable business are the same thing.

The work that makes your company attractive to a buyer (clean financial separation, documented cash flow, structured assets, defensible margins) is the same work that makes it stronger to run, easier to scale, and more profitable today.

You're not preparing for an exit. You're building an asset.

The exit just becomes an option you've earned, not a hope you're chasing. And if you never sell? You still own a business that's worth what it should be, run on numbers you actually trust.

Check out my track record below.

2. Your valuation is engineered 12 months before any buyer arrives

Business owners often wait for the right time to think about exit. But the businesses that command the highest multiples aren't the ones that sold at the right moment. They're the ones that were ready when buyers came looking.

Valuation isn't negotiated. It's built through how assets are separated, how cash flow is presented, how add-backs are documented, how tax positioning is structured.

We've seen the same business worth 3× in one structure and 7×+ in another. Same revenue. Same operations. Different preparation. By the time a buyer is at the table, your ceiling is already set.

This kind of restructuring takes 12 months to do properly. If a buyer arrives in 6, you're negotiating from a weaker position than you needed to be in.

If you're thinking about selling in the next 1–5 years, preparation starts now.

3. You don't need to understand finance to maximise your exit

Most of our clients have zero background in accounting, finance, M&A, or deal structuring.

That's not a disadvantage. it's exactly why we exist. In a recent regional distributor deal, the buy side had close to 100 people on diligence: Big-4 leading the process, an international law firm, regional legal teams across multiple countries.

The owner stayed focused on running his business. We handled everything and negotiated the upfront cash from $12.5M to $14.6M, an extra $2.1M he would have left on the table. You don't need to learn a new skill set.

You need a team that does this every day.

Close to 8× exit multiple With ~$7.2m full cash deal & Perpetual rental income

Singapore Food Manufacturer, single owner in her early 40s doing $3m revenue

Some Of The Key Highlights:

  • Business was a typical SME on paper, a risky acquisition to any serious buyer

  • Generating $3M in revenue but assets, operations, and financials were all mixed together

  • No internal finance function; books were technically compliant but could not withstand buyer scrutiny

  • Spent 12 months separating assets, cleaning financial flows, and restructuring the business into a clearly investable entity

  • Once restructured, buyers could see exactly what they were acquiring and exactly what they were protected from

  • Resulted in a close to 8× exit multiple, full cash deal

  • Owner additionally locked in contractual ongoing rental income with same business, completely different outcome

Here's what you'll get on the strategy call:

1. A clear assessment of how sellable your business actually is right now

We'll evaluate your current financial structure against what buyers and their due diligence teams actually look for. Most owners are surprised by what they find.

2. The specific gaps that are suppressing your valuation

We'll identify the exact areas (financial clarity, asset structure, cash flow presentation, tax positioning) and where your current setup is leaving money on the table.

3. A prioritised roadmap to move from where you are to exit-ready

You'll leave with a clear sequence of what needs to happen, in what order, over what timeframe so you can start making progress immediately, whether you work with us or not.
