You want to maximize your ROI, respecting and protecting your team in the process.
Trouble is, there's no clear answer. PEs will be forced to make short-term decisions to extract value to carry the increased debt load and achieve their investment thesis. Strategic acquirers will swallow your company, likely shutting down part or all of your operation in the process. Either option hurts the team and destroys long-term value. Additionally:
Passiv Equity is the answer. The process is simple, but not easy. We work with B2B companies to drive insights through data & analytics, use those insights to drive earnings, and finally bring in a professional CEO who will be incentivized to grow the business - freeing you from it in the process. All of this under your guidance and continued ownership.
The best investors of all time weren't investors at all, they were entrepreneurs who never sold. To do this, we will first turn data into actionable information. You will know the most, and least, profitable products, clients, and assets; where costs can be cut; how sales and marketing can be improved to propel growth; where technology can be most effectively deployed; and where operational improvements should be made across the enterprise. We will then implement these changes to improve earnings to self-fund hiring a CEO to lead the company through the next phase of growth. The analytics built in the first phase will help you to keep a finger on the pulse and concentrate your efforts on the highest-value prospects. In doing so, you will have a company better positioned to capitalize on the foundation you've built and grow in a sustainable manner. Passiv Equity is different than others you've considered as a way to step back from your business. Our incentives are aligned. We get paid when you get paid - there is no upfront cash impact for our services. You have a single point of contact, and throat to choke. Our goal is to drive earnings to owners over the long haul. Our aim is to be the highest-ROI service provider you deal with, period. One thing is certain - there are no quick solutions. Preparing for an acquisition, due diligence, negotiation, and hopefully closing the transaction, followed by the earn out period can range from two to five years. Passiv brings that down to two. Inaction now only puts off the day you can step away. You got to where you are by making tough calls. The time is now. By moving forward with Passiv, you can expect: Perseverance prevails. Make it Passiv. Billy Hall
