Buyout Potential Breakdown

Where Value Starts to Leak

Profit Builds Leverage

Owner profit is the first thing buyers test. Strong profit gives you options. Weak profit makes every other strength matter less.

Flat Growth Raises Questions

Growth trend shows whether the business is still moving forward. When growth stalls, buyers start discounting what comes next.

Service Mix Can Drag Value

A lopsided mix makes earnings less durable. Better mix helps buyers trust what will hold and what will not.

Recurring Revenue Builds Value

Maintenance density shows how much repeat work there is. More recurring revenue usually means more predictability and more leverage.

Too Few Customers Create Risk

Customer concentration gets dangerous fast. When too much revenue sits with a few accounts, one loss can change the whole picture.

Value does not come from revenue alone.

Weak recurring work, uneven earnings, a lopsided service mix, and too much customer concentration can drag down leverage even when the top line looks good.

Your score shows what’s off. The Workplan helps fix it.
