WHAT KEEPS YOU STUCK

  • Your business revolves around you.

  • You have no idea what your company is worth.

  • Questioning your next steps without a roadmap.

  • Being trapped in something you used to love building.

  • Not sure if you should double down or start planning your exit.

  • Wondering if there are changes that could make you excited about your company again.

  • Questioning whether you've outgrown your role or your business has outgrown you.

The reality nobody talks about.

Half of all business exits aren't planned.

Death, divorce, disability, distress, disagreement. Life happens on its own timeline, not yours.

But let's say you make it to retirement on your terms.

Now you face another problem. Eighty percent of those who go to market don't sell.

No buyer, no payday.

And if you're one of the lucky few who sells? Three out of four owners regret it within a year. They sold too cheaply. The new owner gutted their team. They don't know who they are without the business.

Do the math:

  • 50% exit on their terms.

  • 20% of those actually sell.

  • 25% of those are happy about it.

That's 2.5% odds your life's work ends the way you want.

But here's what's interesting. Everything that improves those odds also improves your business right now. More profit today. More freedom today. Systems that work without you today.

The choice is pretty simple.

SOME BRUTAL MATH

HOW IT WORKS

The Assessment

We look at your business through a buyer's eyes. See what creates real value versus what just generates income.

The Plan

Build systems that work without you. Create something transferable. Focus on what matters.

The Results

More profit. Less stress. Real value. Whether you sell tomorrow or never.

  • With Kevin Oldham at the helm, he relieved us of a heavy burden. His knowledge put us in a position to reach markets that we hadn’t ever reached before. He was worth 10 times what we paid him and his crew. This put us in a position that we could retire at much earlier date than we had planned.

  • BetaBlox is a school for startups where each student's tuition is partial ownership of their company. Continuing with that analogy, Kevin is one of our best "professors", who holds regular office hours with our best founders. His job is to hold teams accountable, impart knowledge, and mentor them through the early-stages of starting a business. His attitude and energy is infectious. The teams he works with rave about the value he is able to provide. I hope to continue to work with Kevin for the rest of my life.

  • I have worked with Diffactory over the years and found he and his Team are worth every dime. They are very knowledgeable and have played a key role in helping my business grow. If you are interested in a trustworthy Team of professionals, I highly recommend working with Diffactory. You won’t be disappointed.
