Grow · Owners building value

Run your business like someone is about to buy it.

Know what your Florida business is worth today, what holds the number down, and what to fix first. Oversight from an operator who used to sit on the buyer side.

A business that's ready to sell is a better business to own.

Most owners I talk to aren't selling this year. They want to know what the business is worth, what's holding the number down, and what to fix first. That's the same list a buyer would build, so I build it for you now, while you still have time to act on it.

Owner's Board

Board-level oversight from someone who has sat on the investor side and runs a company today. A quarterly board meeting, a monthly KPI review, your valuation updated every quarter, and a sounding board on hiring, pay plans, pricing and cash. From $3,000 a month. You meet with me every time.

Growth by acquisition

Buying a competitor or adjacent business is often the fastest way to add value. Under the October 2026 SBA rules, an owner of two-plus years buying a company in the same industry group qualifies as a business expansion, with a 1.15x coverage test and a possible equity waiver. I'll help you find the target, value it and structure the financing.

Best fit

Owners with $2M+ in revenue who plan to sell in two to five years, or never, and want it run better either way.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between the Value Baseline and a formal valuation?

The Value Baseline is my working view of value and what drives it, built for decisions. It isn't a credentialed appraisal. If you need a valuation for an SBA loan, an estate or a partner buyout, I'll coordinate a credentialed appraiser (ASA, CBA, ABV, CVA or BCA).

Can I use an SBA loan to buy a competitor?

Often, yes. If you've owned your business for at least two full fiscal years and the target is in the same 4-digit NAICS industry group, it can qualify as a business expansion under the October 2026 SBA rules, which use a 1.15x coverage test instead of 1.25x.

How long is the Owner's Board commitment?

Quarter to quarter. If it isn't worth the fee, you should stop.
