Public listings often attract multiple competing buyers, inflating price and limiting flexibility. Off-market deals typically allow for direct seller conversations, stronger deal structure, and cleaner closings.

The 8 Key Drivers We Analyze
The true strength and risk of the business behind the marketing package.
While many analyses focus solely on SDE multiples, we delve deeper to analyze both SDE and EBITDA. This comprehensive approach reveals true earnings and uncovers the 8 key drivers of company value.
These drivers reveal the true strength and risk of the business behind the marketing package. Our rigorous analysis helps prevent post-purchase surprises and protects buyers from overpaying.

Consistency of revenue streams, minimizing cash flow risk.
02
Recurring Revenue
Proportion of repeating revenue for stable income.
03

04

Through negotiation, corrected pricing, and avoiding bad deals
When a "Perfect Deal" Isn't
A buyer fell in love with a business showing $320K Seller's Discretionary Earnings, long-time employees, a "hands-off" owner, and loyal customers. The reality, revealed by analysis:
58% revenue from one client: Massive concentration risk
No documented processes: Everything in owner's head
Recurring revenue overstated: Most was one-time projects
Owner working 50+ hours: Not "hands-off" at all
Result: We renegotiated a $220,000 price reduction — and the seller still accepted. That's the power of real analysis.
