They didn’t say your business is bad. They said it can’t sell the way it runs today. That is fixable.
Every decision, every supplier, every problem lands on your desk. That feels like control. To a buyer, it looks like risk, and they cut their offer for it.
You built something real. But if it can’t run without you, you don’t own a business. You own a job nobody can buy.
A business that depends on its owner sells for less. Sometimes it doesn’t sell at all. And while you wait, you keep doing the work of three people for free.
The gap between what your business is worth today and what it could be worth is usually the biggest number in your retirement plan. Most owners never see that number until a buyer uses it against them.

The assessment ($5,000, fixed, for businesses with up to 20 people): Bigger than that? We’ll quote you a fixed price before we start. You’ll never get a surprise bill from us. We map how your business really runs, price what the owner-dependence is costing you, and hand you a written plan. Buy a build within 90 days and the full $5,000 counts toward it.
The fix (quoted from the assessment): We do the work. You get a business that runs without you, with every system documented so a buyer can check it.
