The Diagnosis

The 3 Problems We Diagnose

Most $1M–$20M service businesses are bleeding money in one of three places. The Leak Check tells you which one is yours — and what it’s worth in dollars.

01
Tax Problem

You’re overpaying the IRS

You’re paying 30–45% effective tax when high‑performers in your bracket pay 18–25%. Your CPA files returns; nobody is engineering them down. Every year you wait costs you six figures.

02
Scaling Problem

Revenue grows, profit doesn’t

You’re working harder, hiring more, and somehow taking home the same. The business runs on you, and a buyer wouldn’t touch it at a real multiple.

03
Profit Leak

Money leaks before it lands

Margins look fine on the surface but you’re under‑priced, over‑staffed, or carrying dead weight in your P&L. The money is there — it’s just leaving before it hits your account.

Most owners have two of the three. A few have all three. The Leak Check tells you which is costing you the most right now.

The Standard

Every Leak Check runs against four numbers.

60‑15‑15 is the standard for a healthy service business: 60% gross margin, 15% sales & marketing, 15% G&A, 30% net profit. We map your numbers against it and tell you exactly where you sit — and how many dollars you’re leaving on the table.

Why Free?

Why It’s Free

A percentage of owners ask us to implement the fixes after seeing the numbers — that’s how we make money. The rest leave with a clear plan and refer us later. You get the Leak Map either way.

Some owners ask us to implement

A meaningful percentage of owners ask us to help implement the fixes after they see the numbers. That’s how we make money.

The rest refer us later

Owners who don’t need our help walk away with a clear plan and refer us when someone in their network complains about taxes or margins.

This is the fast, 20‑minute version of our full Scale Ready Assessment. Most owners get enough from this call and the Leak Map to know exactly where to start. If the Leak Check surfaces something serious and you want to go deeper, we’ll talk about whether it makes sense to do the full Scale Ready Assessment together.

What’s At Stake

Same earnings. Different multiple.

Enterprise value is determined by two things — how much your business makes, and how risky that income stream looks to a buyer. The Leak Check surfaces both. Plug the leaks and EBITDA rises. Reduce owner dependence and the multiple rises with it. Together, they compound.

Independent business
6.27x
EBITDA multiple
VS
Owner‑dependent
2.76x
EBITDA multiple

Based on Value Builder System data from 5,000+ companies, businesses scoring 80+ on growth readiness sell at 6.27x EBITDA. Below 50 sell at 2.76x. Same earnings, more than 2x the value. The only thing that changes is the financial design.

FAQ

Questions about Free Profit & Tax Leak Check.

Clear answers to the questions owners ask before deciding what to do next.

No. This is operator‑level. We’ll coordinate with your CPA later if you move forward.

We’ll tell you you’re already top tier and wrap early. You keep the Leak Map.

No. Tax is one of the three problems. We also diagnose scaling and profit leaks — and tell you which is biggest.

The SRA is our deeper diagnostic — full data pull, longer engagement, full implementation roadmap. The Leak Check is the 20‑minute version that tells you whether going deeper is worth it. We only invite owners into the SRA when the Leak Check surfaces something serious.

It is a focused introductory review intended to identify the financial question costing the business the most attention or opportunity, such as margin visibility, cash timing, tax exposure, or operating discipline.

It is most useful for service-business owners who have a specific concern but need help framing the financial information and decision behind it.

Bring a concise picture of revenue, margin, cash, recent tax concerns, and the decision you need to make. Avoid sending sensitive records through an unsecured form until a secure process is established.

No. It is a short diagnostic conversation, not a substitute for a full review, tax return, audit, or legal advice. Its purpose is to identify the right question and possible next step.
