Business Growth, Valuation & Exit Case Studies

Real-World Results, Through a Valuation Lens

From the buyer side: Why some businesses don’t trade well

From an acquisition and due diligence perspective, many businesses fail to trade well not because they lack history or reputation, but because their fundamentals no longer hold.
These situations are common:

A company may have a strong brand, long history, or impressive references — but if revenues are unstable, declining, or no longer active, valuation collapses.
Our work exists to address these risks before a sale process begins, while there is still time to rebuild momentum, stabilize revenue, and restore credibility.
Examples of issues frequently identified during deal analysis include:
Founder-dependent growth
Excessive client concentration
High logo and revenue churn
Revenue volatility and year-over-year declines
Revenue patterns that appear to rebound in the most recent year, masking a prior dip (e.g. $1.0M → $700K → $1.3M)
Downward or inconsistent revenue trends despite strong historical performance
fragmented or undocumented growth and sales systems
project-based revenue models with limited predictability or repeatability
From a buyer’s perspective, this translates into:
Increased execution risk
Discounted multiples
Earn-out-heavy offers
Deals that simply don’t close
