Owner Preparing to Sell

$13.5K $105.5K monthly EBITDA

A very large business, and an offer far below what the owner expected. The books needed a complete overhaul — loans booked incorrectly, revenue never segregated by location, no clear read on what was happening financially. Ratio rebuilt the financial statements and identified seven initiatives that would raise the value of the business. In five months we created the value needed, and the owner is on track to sell after the first of the year at the price they are seeking.
