Get your client's business ready to sell.
We prepare businesses for exit over 12 to 18 months. Your client gets operational independence and a business that's worth what it should be.
Acceler8 Ventures partners with M&A brokers, CPAs, and wealth advisors to prepare their clients' businesses for exit. We run a 30-day AI and Operations Audit followed by 12 to 18 months of operational transformation. The result: businesses that actually sell at the right multiple.
Most businesses that go to market aren't ready.
The owner is the business. Operations are undocumented. Financials don't tell a clear story. The result: deals fall apart, or the price doesn't reflect what the owner built. You see this every day.
We fix that before your client goes to market.
For M&A Brokers and Business Intermediaries
You need listings that actually close. Most businesses that go to market are too owner-dependent, too operationally messy, and priced on aspiration rather than fundamentals. We work inside the business for 12 to 18 months to fix the things that kill deals. Your client gets a business that sells at the multiple they expect. You get a listing that closes.
For CPAs and Accounting Firms
When your client asks 'how do I make this worth more?' you can answer the tax and financial side. But the operational side, owner dependency, undocumented processes, pricing that hasn't changed in years, is harder to address. That's what we do. We fill the gap between financial readiness and operational readiness.
For Wealth Advisors and Financial Planners
For many of your business owner clients, the business represents 60 to 80% of their net worth. But unlike their investment portfolio, there's no professional managing that asset for exit value. We address that gap. We work inside the business to build the operational foundation that acquirers pay a premium for.
A clear process. No disruption to your relationship.
Your client contacts us directly, or you make an introduction. Either way, we start with a conversation to understand the situation.
We run a 30-day AI and Operations Audit ($7,500 to $15,000). Your client gets five deliverables: operational assessment, AI automation map, financial blind spot analysis, owner dependency score, and a prioritized action plan.
If there's a fit, we work inside the business for 12 to 18 months. We install systems, build teams, and create the enterprise value that acquirers pay a premium for.
When the business is ready, your client goes to market with clean operations, documented processes, and financial transparency. The deal closes at the right price.
What we don't do
- We don't compete with you. We don't provide tax, legal, or investment advice.
- We don't pay referral fees. The value exchange is the service itself: a client whose business is ready to sell.
- We don't pressure your clients. If the audit shows the business isn't ready, we say so. The owner keeps the roadmap and decides next steps.
Our team has founded companies, led turnarounds, built AI systems in production, and conducted due diligence on 300+ businesses. We've lived the operator's seat. That's why we work differently than consultants.
Frequently asked questions
How does a partner referral work?
The partner introduces their client to Acceler8, or the client contacts us directly and mentions the partner. We start with a conversation to understand the situation. If there is a fit, we run a 30-day AI and Operations Audit. The partner stays informed throughout if the client wants that.
Does Acceler8 pay referral fees?
No. The value exchange is the service itself. We make the partner's client more successful, which makes the partner's job easier. A broker gets a listing that closes. A CPA gets a client with clean financials. A wealth advisor gets a concrete plan for the client's largest asset.
What does the AI and Operations Audit cost?
Most audits fall in the $7,500 to $15,000 range depending on business size and complexity. The audit takes 30 days and produces five deliverables: operational assessment, AI automation map, financial blind spot analysis, owner dependency score, and prioritized action plan.
What types of businesses does Acceler8 work with?
We specialize in IT managed services providers (MSPs) and commercial/residential services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping). We also work with healthcare admin, accounting and professional services, and industrial operations. Typical businesses have $500K to $10M in owner earnings.
Let's talk about how we can work together.
No obligation. No pitch. Just a conversation about your practice and whether there's a fit.
