Two Ways We Work With
Shop Owners
We plug our people, systems, and capital into your business to create stability, growth, and freedom without ripping anything apart.
How Working With Us Starts
There are two simple ways to work with us.
​
Option 1: We Buy the Business
-
Best for Shop Owners that are just "Done"
​
Option 2: We Work With You First, Then Partner, and Grow the Value Together
-
For Shop Owners that want to smooth out operations and ensure the business and team can grow without collapsing
​
Both paths are designed to be fair, clear, and based on how strong the business really is today.​​​
​
Option 1: We Buy the Business Outright
​
When we buy a business, the value depends on one main thing:
​
Can the business run and stay profitable without you?
​
If you can step away and the business still performs, it’s worth more.
If it can’t, the value is lower.
​​​​
​
How We Determine Value
(Simple Version)
​
-
Our Accounting Team looks at how much profit the business produces (EBITDA or SDE)
-
We apply a multiplier based on how self-sufficient the business is
-
If real estate is included, it's valued separately by a licensed appraiser
​
​
Example: $1,000,000 Revenue Business
​
Let’s say:
​
Annual revenue: $1,000,000
Annual profit (EBITDA): $200,000
​
​
Best Case Scenario: Self Sufficient Auto Shop If:
​
You go to lunch today and decide to leave for 30 days
​
And:
​
-
The business runs the same
-
CSI, Profit, and Quality stays the same
​
Then:
​
-
Multiplier: 4x
-
$200,000 × 4 = $800,000 business value
-
-
Real estate added separately at appraised value
-
Seller Financed​
-
or Proprietary Capital
-
​
This is the highest multiplier most Shop Owners can reach on their own.
​
​
Lower Case Scenario: Owner Dependent Auto Shop If:
​
-
You can't step away
-
The business slows or breaks without you
-
Decisions and production rely on you
​
Then:
​
-
Multiplier: 1x
-
$200,000 × 1 = $200,000 business value
-
-
Real estate added separately at appraised value
-
Seller Financed​
-
or Proprietary Capital
-
​
Same Revenue. Same Profit.
Lower value because the risk is higher.
Option 2: Partnership First
(Then Much Higher Value)
​
Instead of selling right away, most owners choose to work with us first, then partner.
​
This is how we help owners increase the value of their business before selling.

How Partnership Works
​
We start by working with you through one or more of our supporting companies:​
​
-
Accounting
-
Marketing
-
Staffing
-
Sales Training
-
Coaching
-
Operations support
​
At this stage:
​
-
You still own the business
-
We help fix constraints
-
We help build systems and leadership
​
​
The Bonus: Portfolio Invitation
(up to 15-20x Multiplier)​​
​
There’s an upside most owners never get access to.
​
When:
-
The business hits agreed-upon targets
-
Systems are proven
-
Leadership is in place
​
You may be invited into our portfolio.
​
If that happens:
-
The multiplier increases dramatically
-
Average portfolio value ranges from 15x to 20x
-
This is far beyond what most owners can achieve alone
​​​​​
​
Example: Using The Same Business
​
Same $200,000 profit business:
-
On your own (best case):
-
$200,000 × 4 = $800,000
-
-
As part of a portfolio:
-
$200,000 × 15–20 = $3,000,000 to $4,000,000
-
Same business. Much higher value.
​
​
The Simple Summary​
​
You have two paths with us:
-
We can buy your business today
Value is based on how self-sufficient it is right now
​
Or
​
-
We help you grow, systemize, and scale the business
Then help you prepare for what's next
​
We can either buy your business as it is today, or help you grow it into a much more valuable company and guide you through whatever comes next.
