Real Exit, Real Results

From $18M to $47M in 14 Months

A 42-year-old industrial equipment distributor was exploring a sale with an initial valuation of $18M (3.2x EBITDA). The business had strong financials but relied heavily on the founder's relationships.

We implemented our Pre-Sale Optimization Program, documenting all sales processes, building a CRM system, diversifying the customer base, and training a sales team to operate independently.

Result: The business sold for $47M (5.1x EBITDA) to a private equity buyer who valued the predictable, scalable sales engine we built together.
