Overview

This opportunity represents the acquisition of a consulting and professional staffing platform serving large enterprise clients. The business has experienced a temporary earnings dip and is now positioned for renewed expansion as diversification and new offerings gain traction. The current $3.0M valuation reflects normalized earnings capacity rather than recent transitional performance.

Business Model

The company provides embedded consulting and professional staffing solutions to enterprise organizations. Roughly half of revenue is generated by placing experienced professionals into client environments across finance, marketing, and operations. The balance comes from advisory engagements, strategic planning, and execution-focused initiatives that often evolve into higher-margin follow-on work.

Client relationships are built on long-standing master service agreements and deep integration within enterprise teams. The largest customer renewed annually for nearly two decades and engaged the firm across multiple departments, demonstrating durability and institutional trust.

Financial Context

Results in 2024–2025 were below prior levels due to reduced utilization at the largest client during internal restructuring, along with temporary revenue concentration while new offerings were introduced. Management views this period as transitional rather than reflective of steady-state performance.

Cost controls have been implemented, client diversification is underway, and revenue momentum is improving heading into the next fiscal cycle.

The valuation multiple displayed on the platform is calculated using approximately $468K of adjusted cash flow from a transition year. Management believes normalized adjusted cash flow of roughly $846K—achieved prior to the downturn—more accurately reflects ongoing earnings power. On that basis, the valuation implies a mid-3x multiple of normalized cash flow.

Growth Opportunities

Several initiatives are already in progress:

Securing a new enterprise automotive client, with additional prospects in telecom, energy, and senior living

Stabilized contractor utilization at existing accounts with identified upside beginning in 2026

New service lines include enterprise return-to-office strategy advisory and AI roadmap development to address fragmented enterprise AI investments. These offerings are introduced through relationship-driven channels such as executive speaking engagements, media exposure, and leadership forums, which have historically generated significant enterprise wins.

Additional upside exists through formalizing business development, expanding into adjacent enterprise sectors, and scaling emerging service offerings.

Team & Transition

The founder, formerly with a global consulting firm, leads a lean organization of more than 40 employees and contractors, most of whom are billable. Leadership includes a revenue-generating EVP, senior recruiting management, and internal operators supporting both core delivery and emerging AI initiatives. Average team tenure exceeds five years.

A deliberate transition plan is underway to reduce founder dependence, with sales and client delivery responsibilities progressively shifting to the broader leadership team.

The seller is prepared to support a structured transition over an agreed-upon period to ensure continuity of client relationships, operational processes, and growth initiatives.
