You read the short version on the homepage. Here’s the rest: what we actually do, what the assessment covers, and what you walk away with when it’s done.
Every task, every decision, every relationship that only works because you are there.
We sit with you and your staff and walk through a normal month. Who approves what. Who gets called when something goes wrong. Which supplier deals with you and nobody else. Which prices live in your head instead of on paper.
Then we write the list down and put a number beside each item: how often it happens, how long it takes, and what it would take for someone else to do it. Most owners are surprised by the list. It is usually longer than they think, and the biggest items are usually the ones they stopped noticing years ago.
Before building anything, we remove the steps that should not exist.
A lot of what lands on your desk should not be happening at all. It is a check on a check, a form nobody reads, an approval that has never once been refused. Building a system to run that work faster just makes the waste permanent.
So we cut first and build second. Often the fix is smaller and cheaper than you expected. Sometimes we tell you not to build anything at all, and you keep your money. We would rather say that early than sell you something you do not need.
Everything digital, everything checkable, everything runnable by someone other than you.
What is left gets captured on screen recordings. You or your staff do the task once while the screen records. Our AI turns that recording into a step-by-step guide anyone can pull up on any screen and follow without asking you. Then the tasks that repeat get automated, with a person in the loop for anything the system is not sure about. No black boxes.
You end up with a business that runs without you, and a buyer can see that for themselves. When they look at your books, they find a working operating manual right next to the numbers. It is current. It is searchable. They can check every claim. That is what makes an offer hold.
You end up with the exact package a broker asks for when it’s time to list.
Not our figures. These come from the people who count Canadian owners and the people who track what businesses actually sell for.
76% of Canadian business owners plan to exit within 10 years. Only 9% have a formal succession plan.
39% of owners admit their business is too reliant on them to hand over. 54% say finding a buyer is their biggest obstacle.
Businesses that run without the owner attract offers averaging 4.49x pre-tax profit. Owner-dependent businesses average 2.93x.
On a business with $500,000 in profit, that gap is worth roughly $780,000 at sale. The most expensive thing you own is the knowledge that never left your head.
$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.
You get a written plan at the end of it. If you buy a build within 90 days, the full $5,000 counts toward that build.
We map the actual work, not the org chart. Who does what, in what order, and where it stops without you.
A measured read of how much of the business only functions because you are in it, section by section.
We price the dependence against your sale value, so you can see the number a buyer would use against you.
What to fix, in what order, and what each fix is worth. Yours to keep, whether or not you hire us to do the work.
When the work is done, none of this lives in your head anymore. It is written down, it is yours, and it stays yours whether you sell next year or in five.
Already working with a broker? We work alongside brokers, accountants, and valuators. Ask yours about us, or have them call us directly.
Our work takes weeks, not months. The only slow part is your suppliers and customers learning to deal with your team instead of you. That clock starts when you say go.
