What You Get Inside
Practice Library Ranked by EBITDA Impact
Every practice in your playbook is ranked by how much it moves your EBITDA multiple. Customer concentration reduction, recurring revenue conversion, management team depth, process documentation — each scored against real M&A transaction data. You see exactly which actions create the most value per hour invested.
Effort-vs-Impact Matrix
Every practice plotted on a 2x2 matrix so you can spot quick wins (high impact, low effort) and avoid time sinks. Prioritize the actions that create the most value with the least disruption.
Owner Dependency Reduction
A step-by-step playbook for reducing how much the business depends on you. Delegate relationships, systematize decisions, and build a management layer that buyers trust to run without you.
Recurring Revenue Conversion
Strategies for converting project-based or one-time revenue into recurring contracts. Recurring revenue commands higher multiples — often 1–2x EBITDA more than equivalent project revenue.
Management Team Building
A framework for identifying critical roles, hiring or promoting into them, and proving to buyers that your team can operate independently. The #1 factor in deal confidence after financials.
Margin Improvement Tactics
Benchmarked against your industry peers, with specific actions to improve gross and EBITDA margins. Higher margins mean higher multiples — and these improvements compound over time.
