Too much depends on you
The company is growing, but sales, decisions or key relationships still rely heavily on the Founder.
ENTERPRISE VALUE ACCELERATION
Build a businessworth buying.
EVOS is our proprietary method for Founder-led UK businesses. In about 15 minutes the Scorecard shows your progress band across 12 pillars — and the three places to strengthen first, well before a sale or ownership change forces the issue.
We work with UK businesses with annual revenue of £1 million to £20 million. The work is most useful when it begins 12 to 36 months before a planned acquisition, sale or other major ownership event.

ENTERPRISE VALUE SCORECARD
Twelve connected pillars. One clear starting view.
Founder guide to the pillars 01 to 12 ↗WHY THE DIFFERENCE MATTERS
Consider the difference: £1 million EBITDA at 4× is £4 million enterprise value. £1.2 million EBITDA at 6× is £7.2 million. That is £3.2 million more—not simply from getting bigger, but from building a better business.
Illustrative enterprise values, before net debt and deal adjustments. Illustrative figures only, not a valuation.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Founders who want a stronger business and more future options.
You have built something valuable. Now build a business that can thrive beyond you. Start before a transaction is on the table: stronger leadership, systems and earnings need time to prove themselves.
A future deal matters
You may be considering a sale, investment, succession or acquisition and want to prepare while there is still time to change the business.
The business should work better now
You are not planning to sell yet, but you want clearer numbers, stronger systems and a company that is easier to lead.

Revenue tells part of the story. Enterprise value tells the rest.
