Most Exits Fail
Don't Leave Millions on the Table
Most owners sell for a fraction of their potential value. We bridge the gap between "mom-and-pop" operations and "institutional-grade" assets.
Owner Involvement
We rewire your business to run with minimal or zero owner input—often unlocking 2–5x higher valuations.
Management Team
We build and professionalize your leadership bench, adding 1–4x to what buyers are willing to pay.
Recurring Revenue
If possible, we shift revenue toward recurring and contracted streams that routinely trade at 3–8x multiples.
Customer Base
We reduce concentration risk so one customer can't trigger a 20–50% hit to your valuation.
Documented Systems
We document and systemize operations, turning tribal knowledge into 1–3x of multiple uplift.
Combined, these factors can multiply your exit value by 2–4×
A Systematic Approach to Maximum Value

The Audit & Roadmap
We analyze your business through the lens of a buyer. We identify the 'valuation gaps' that are killing your multiple and create a 12-24 month remediation plan.
The Rebuild
Our team (not just yours) steps in to implement systems, document processes, and install management layers. We make the business independent of you.
The Exit
When you're ready to go to market, we help manage the process to ensure a smooth, high-value close.

“I built this for the owner who is tired of being the bottleneck.”
After 25 years of running and consulting for companies, I saw the same tragedy repeat itself: incredible businesses would either not sell or would sell for pennies on the dollar because they were too dependent on their owner.
Buyers don't buy jobs; they buy assets.
If your business can't run without you, it's a job. And jobs don't sell for 8× multiples.
I have built and sold multiple companies and understand the stress and uncertainty of selling a business. At RunDuckRun, we don't just give you advice. We roll up our sleeves and build the systems, the team, and the culture that allows you to step away—and get paid life-changing money for it.
