The Overworked Services Founder
Starting Point: A $3M professional services firm where the founder was the rainmaker. 65% of revenue came from two clients, and the business couldn’t function without the founder’s daily involvement.
Pain: Burnout, no leverage, buyers saw too much risk.
ExitEngine Path:
TEV Diagnostic highlighted founder dependence & client concentration as top risks.
Founder documented core IP and shifted delivery to a small team.
Diversified client base and added a recurring retainer model.
Results: Within 18 months, valuation multiple doubled, and the founder had a clear 3-year exit plan with buyers already circling.

The SaaS Entrepreneur
Starting Point: Bootstrapped SaaS doing $5M ARR, with solid growth but messy financials and no clean reporting. Buyer interest stalled in diligence.
Pain: Lack of financial clarity eroded trust, creating discounts and delays.
ExitEngine Path:
Financial clean-up guided by ExitEngine Advisory Partners.
Standardized reporting and installed a recurring KPI dashboard.
Aligned growth strategy with what strategic buyers value most (churn reduction, sticky revenue).
Results: Within a year, the company’s TEV Score jumped 20 points, confidence in saleability soared, and inbound buyer interest re-engaged at higher multiples.

The Manufacturing Family Business
Starting Point: A 40-year-old $12M manufacturer, with next-gen leaders uncertain about timing and valuation. The business was profitable but overly reliant on legacy customers.
Pain: Family disputes about when and how to exit. Fear of the “5 Ds” (death, divorce, disability, disagreement, distress) forcing a sale under pressure.
ExitEngine Path:
Ran a TEV Diagnostic to create a baseline for all stakeholders.
Exit Roadmap mapped succession plans and expanded sales channels.
Introduced recurring supply contracts to stabilize revenue.
Results: Within 24 months, the TEV Score climbed above 80 (saleable threshold), family aligned on a 5-year exit horizon, and a generational transition plan was locked in.

Showed how to shift from project-based revenue to recurring retainers.
Reduced dependency on top clients and built stronger positioning.
