Run the Due Diligence on Yourself Before a Buyer Does
Buyers discount what they can't verify. Documented operational efficiency gains with deployed automations and measurable EBITDA recovery reduce that discount and strengthen your position at the closing table.
Every dollar of waste a buyer finds is a dollar they deduct.
And they multiply it by the exit multiple. $100K in operational waste at a 6x multiple isn’t a $100K haircut. It’s a $600K haircut.
Documented efficiency improvements over 12–24 months tell a stronger story.
Six months of cleanup looks reactive. Two years of documented gains, deployed automations, and compounding recovery looks like a well-run operation. Buyers pay more for evidence.
Reflex reduces owner-dependency.
One of the biggest value suppressors in lower middle market deals. If your business can’t run without you for 30 days, a buyer will price that risk into the offer. Every process we automate is one less thing that depends on you.
The diagnostic is a forcing function.
Either we find $350K–$500K in enterprise value impact and you have a clear path to recover it, or we don’t and you have confidence your operations are already tight. Both are good outcomes before a sale.
If you're planning to sell in 18 months at a 6x multiple, and Reflex recovers $200K in annual operational waste, that's $1.2M added to your enterprise value.
Your total cost for 18 months of Reflex: ~$192.5K.
Return on Enterprise Value
Measured in what you take home at closing, not just what you save month to month.

Illustrative example. Actual recovery depends on company size, industry, and operational maturity. The diagnostic produces your real numbers.
