Hey,
Last 90 days at acquisitions.com we cut 80% of our team.
Revenue went up. Profit went up more. We crossed $1B in buy & sell transactions through the company.
Here's why that matters for you.
A $3M business that runs without the founder sells for 5–7x EBITDA.
The same business — same revenue, same customers — where the founder is the bottleneck, sells for 2–3x.
On $600K of EBITDA, that's the gap between a $4.2M exit and a $1.5M exit. $2.7M.
That's the Founder Dependency Discount. The biggest hidden tax on private business owners. Nobody warns you about it until you sit down to sell.
The fix isn't another hire. Another hire just adds more payroll that still needs you to manage it.
The fix is autonomous AI employees running the parts of the business that keep you stuck in it. The same AI team we used to cut our own headcount 80% — sales, marketing, ops, admin, client success, finance. 24/7. No payroll.
This month we're installing part or all of it into 2 or 3 businesses. Sometimes the whole team. Sometimes just 1 or 2 agents where the biggest bottleneck is. We figure that out on the call.
I think we can save most businesses at least $50,000 a year in payroll — and we saved a lot more than that ourselves. If we don't, you don't pay a cent.
