I work inside your business to raise EBITDA and fix what a buyer will push on, before you go to market. For owners and for private equity.
Good ideas are cheap, and AI makes them cheaper. Any owner can get a playbook. Few can execute it. I work inside the business to make lasting changes and scale.
Buyers pay a multiple of your earnings, so every dollar of profit you add comes back several times over.
Multiples vary by industry and size. The diagnostic shows yours.
Bigger, cleaner, less risky businesses sell at higher multiples, so the work raises both numbers.
Illustrative example. Results depend on your business and market.
Cash that doesn't match the books. Customer or vendor concentration. An owner the business can't run without.
Every issue becomes leverage. The earn-out goes in. The number you expected shrinks.
A failed deal leaves the business shopworn. The next offer is usually lower.
Private equity buys businesses like yours, fixes them, and sells for far more. I bring that playbook to you, so you keep the value.
See your business the way a buyer will. Connects straight to QuickBooks.
Hands-on work on the few changes that move your number most, starting with one 90-day project tied to a dollar target.
A business that's worth more, runs without you, and holds up in diligence.
Manufacturing and distribution, roughly $2M to $50M in revenue, one to five years from selling.
A fractional or interim operator for a portfolio company that needs fixing fast.
Wealth advisors, CPAs and attorneys who want a clear next step for business-owner clients.
I've spent 25 years running operations inside businesses, from plant floors and supply chains to a $1B company going public. I've also started, run and sold my own company.
I built Fenwick Partners because too many owners who worked hard their whole lives leave money on the table at the finish line.
A 30-minute conversation. No pitch, just an operator's honest read.
