Helping owners of trades, manufacturing, distribution and professional services businesses build companies worth buying.
Maximize Business Value
Maximize Business Value
I work with owner-operators to build businesses that run without them and are worth more when they sell. That usually means fixing the things buyers discount: owner dependence, customer concentration, thin recurring revenue, and financials that do not hold up under diligence.
I focus on trades, manufacturing, distribution and professional services companies between $2M and $25M in revenue. That is where I have operated, and it is where the same handful of value drivers keep showing up.
Most owners come to me two or three years before they plan to sell. That is the window where the work actually changes the number.

What makes your approach different?
What makes your approach different?
I have run the businesses I advise on. I grew a metal fabrication company from $1.5M to $4.5M, and built Chronologic Systems from zero to roughly $4M in revenue and 25 staff before merging it with a public company, where I served as EVP and COO through a scale-up from 25 to more than 120 people across three US subsidiaries. I am a P.Eng. and a Certified ValueBuilder Advisor, and I have served on more than fifteen boards.
How do you actually help?
How do you actually help?
Three ways, depending on where you are. A ValueBuilder assessment scores your business on the eight drivers buyers pay for and shows you where the gaps are. A value growth engagement works those gaps over twelve to thirty-six months. And when you are ready to transact, I sit on your side of the table through diligence and close. Some owners also use me as a fractional COO while the work is underway.
