Problem

A business that runs without you is worth far more than one that doesn't.

Most Australian service business owners underestimate what buyers actually pay for — and what they discount. A business generating $2M in revenue can sell for anywhere from $400k to $2.4M depending on how well it's documented, how owner-dependent it is, and how clean the financials are.

What reduces your sale price:

  • The business relies on you for client relationships
  • Financial records are messy or EOFY-only
  • There's no management team — just you and staff
  • SOPs don't exist or aren't followed
  • Revenue is inconsistent — no pipeline visibility
  • No data room — due diligence takes months and kills deals

What ScaleKorp OS installs for exit readiness:

  • Exit readiness documentation — everything a buyer needs, prepared before they ask
  • Board-ready financial reporting — weekly and monthly numbers any buyer can audit
  • Leadership accountability design — so the team runs the business without you present
  • Valuation optimisation framework — which levers move your multiple
  • Data room preparation — organised, complete, and due-diligence ready
