Build value
Build it to be worth more. Then choose what’s next.
Grow it, scale it, hand it to your family or sell it. We build the owner and the business so every one of those doors is open.
Same profit. Different multiple. Very different check.
Buyers usually price a small business as a multiple of its earnings (EBITDA). What moves the multiple is how well the business runs without you.
Multiple
Illustrative math only. Real multiples depend on industry, size, risk and the market at the time of sale. This is not a valuation or a promise of value.
Illustrative value at 3× EBITDA$750,000
Every driver of the multiple is something we build
| What raises the multiple | How EntrepX builds it |
|---|---|
| Runs without the owner | Your fractional COO, a hiring plan, and a team with KPIs from year 2. |
| Documented systems | SOPs and software from day one, not written the month before a sale. |
| Clean books | Bookkeeping and tax partners, with monthly numbers in your dashboard. |
| Recurring and repeat revenue | CRM, follow-up and maintenance plans built into the sales system. |
| A brand you can transfer | You own it outright. No franchisor approval, no transfer fee. |
| A growth story | Three years of tracked results against a written playbook. |
