FAQs
Key-man risk is our biggest concern post-close. How is it addressed?
We map every critical dependency in the first 30 days — customer relationships, institutional knowledge, supplier access — then build a structured transition plan to distribute them across a strengthened management team. The goal is not to remove the founder. It is to ensure the business survives without them.
How does this expand EBITDA margin, and how fast?
COGS analysis and process redesign typically surface 2–5 margin points within the first 100 days, through vendor renegotiation, workflow inefficiency, and over-staffed functions inherited from founder-managed operations. Margin expansion here is not a projection. It is the first deliverable.
How do LPs benefit from ops and people work vs. just revenue growth?
Revenue growth expands the topline. Ops and people work expands the margin, which compounds the exit multiple on both EBITDA and revenue. A business that grows revenue 20% and expands margin 3 points exits at a materially higher valuation than one that only grew the top line. LPs benefit from both levers running simultaneously.
