Are you building a VALUED business?

Scale, exit or raise capital at a high valuation.
Make a positive impact on the world.

Based on 15+ years of experience evaluating businesses for debt and capital investment, we’ve observed that there are 6 common characteristics that make a business scalable, investible, and highly valuable:

Visionary leadership

A valuable business should have strong and visionary leadership that is capable of setting a clear direction for the organization, executing its strategy effectively, and fostering a culture of innovation.

ACTIVE cash flow generation

A valuable business should be able to generate consistent and sustainable cash flows through its operations, indicating that it is financially healthy and capable of creating value for shareholders. Additionally, a valuable business should have growth potential that is supported by its market position, competitive advantages, and product or service offerings.

Long-term mindset

A valuable business should have a long-term mindset and a well-defined strategy that is aligned with its vision and mission. This includes having a clear understanding of its competitive environment and the ability to adapt to changes in the market.

Utility to investors

A valuable business should be attractive to investors, providing a good return on investment and growth potential. This includes having a solid financial structure, a strong track record of financial performance, and transparent and accurate financial reporting.

Efficient operations & governance

A valuable business should be efficient in its operations, maximizing productivity while minimizing costs. This includes having effective governance structures and processes that promote transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior, as well as effective risk management practices in place to identify and mitigate potential risks to the business.

Defensible Competitive Position

A valuable business should have a defensible competitive position that protects its market share and allows it to generate sustainable profits. This includes having a strong brand reputation, intellectual property, and other competitive advantages that make it difficult for competitors to replicate its business model.

Who We Work With

Our clients typically face the following unique situations which lead them to work with us:

Your company might be well past the start-up stage as it has garnered some years of operations, financial performance, and track record under its belt.
The business may still rely heavily on you, the CEO, and the founding team for ideas and business development. It might also lack a fully built-out succession plan, and is probably funded by a limited group of private investors.
The company is growth-focused, but the cash it generates is not always enough to make your expansion dreams come true. These dreams may include entry into new market segments, expansion into another geographic location, or hiring highly skilled and specialized resources.
You’ve been essentially bootstrapping your business and need external funding to scale your operations.
