The Checkup · On-site business analysis · 48 states

A day and a half inside your business. We find the money you can't see.

A senior business analyst comes to your office, gets a complete picture of your business, and shows you exactly where money is slipping out — and what to do about it. You keep the findings and the recommendations either way.

$99 to lock your date. $1,300 total — paid only if you're satisfied. Not satisfied? Your $99 comes back.

"If you think you can't afford it, believe us — you can't afford not to." — Travis W., 3rd-generation service business, after his Checkup

You don't have time. We know. You're busy doing the work — the work that built this whole thing.

So the business side waits. The numbers wait. The "I'll get to it" waits. It's waited for years.

Here's the catch: you got good at the trade, not at the business of the trade. Nobody ever taught you that part. And nobody ever stops you in a busy week to show you what it's costing you.

We do. A day and a half. In your office. We find it, we show you, you decide.

Here's what nobody sees: you carry all of it. Alone.

The money worries you can't say out loud to your crew. The numbers you avoid on a Sunday night. The weight you don't take home, because the last thing you want is them carrying it too. You've done it alone for years — and never said a word. For a day and a half, you don't have to. Someone sits down on your side of the table, sees the whole picture with you, and helps you find the way through.

A day and a half. In your office. A complete picture of your business.

We call it The Checkup. A senior business analyst sits down with you and builds a complete picture of your business — the money coming in, the money going out, what you actually keep, how the work gets done, and where it's leaking. You get the findings and the recommendations in plain English, in writing, with real dollars attached.

  • Not a coach handing you a binder and homework.
  • Not a course, a webinar, or a group call.
  • Not a guy in a suit talking over your head.
  • Not a pitch dressed up as advice.

We show up. We do the digging. You keep what we find.

Three steps. We move at the speed you do.

1

Apply

Tell us about your business — takes about a minute. We use it to make sure we can actually help you.

2

Quick call

A short conversation to confirm it's a fit and answer your questions. If it's a fit, $99 locks your date.

3

We're in your office

Often within a few days. A day and a half later, you've got your findings and recommendations in hand.

When you book a job, you don't make the customer wait weeks. We work the same way — most owners have their Checkup on the calendar within three business days.

Real businesses. Real owners. Real numbers.

Concrete Floor Treatment · Concrete
Greg and Tom had over $400,000 they were owed and didn't know it — sitting uncollected. We found it and laid out how to get it. They had it back in 45 days, plus 25 written systems and a new service line.
"The hardest and most impactful thing we've ever done in our lives."
— Greg & Tom, concrete contractors

Draxler's Service · Mechanical & Service
Travis ran a 75-year family business on 70-hour weeks, holding it together by hand. We showed him what to change. He got his life back — and said it quite possibly saved his marriage.
"If you think you can't afford it, believe us, you cannot afford not to."
— Travis, 3rd-generation service business

Michael went from a small operation to a real company in six weeks — how he sold, how he ran the work, and how the money moved, all rebuilt on our recommendations.
"It changed how I see my own company."
— Michael, power & energy

J&RS Design+Build · Construction
Ty was the bottleneck in his own company. We gave him the plan and the systems to step up and grow — from $5M toward $10–$20M.
"I stopped being the bottleneck in my own company."
— Ty, design-build contractor

Want to hear it in their own words? We'll send you video stories from owners who've been through it — straight to your inbox.

No spam. Just real owners, telling you what happened.

Most owners tell us three things before we show up: "I don't have the time." "We're not ready." "I don't even know my own numbers."

Those aren't reasons to put this off. They're the exact reasons it exists.

About 90 minutes of your time. We handle the rest.

Nothing to prepare. Don't clean anything up. Don't pull reports. A shoebox of receipts is fine. We do the digging — you just answer questions as we go.

On your terms. Discreet as you need us to be. We work around your team, your locations, and how you run things — no disruption, nothing your people need to know about unless you want them to.

The Full Day
~90 min with you · we do the rest
  • We start with you — your goals, and what's been keeping you up at night
  • We go through your money: what comes in, what goes out, what you keep
  • We get a complete picture of how the work actually gets done
  • If — and only if — you want us to, we talk with your key people. Your team, your call.
  • Then we get to work while you run your business as usual
The Half Day
your closing sit-down
  • We sit back down together and walk you through what we found
  • You get the findings and the recommendations — out loud and in writing
  • Where the money's leaking, what it's costing you, and exactly what to do about it
  • Plain English. Real dollars. Nothing you need a finance degree to read.
  • You decide what's next. No obligation, no pressure.

When it's done you choose: do it yourself, have a team help you do it, or do nothing. Your call.

Whether you're trying to keep more of what you make, get ready to sell or hand it down one day, or just find out what you're leaving on the table — it starts the same way.

You risk $99. That's it.

$99 locks your date. At the end, if you're satisfied, the total is $1,300. If you're not — you tell us, you owe nothing more, and your $99 comes back.

We can offer it this way because we've done this hundreds of times. We know what we'll find. We only get paid if you agree we earned it.

Confidentiality agreement provided
Fully insured
Bonded

Before we ever set foot in your business, you get a signed confidentiality agreement and proof of our crime insurance and bonding. What we see stays between us — and you're protected, on paper, from day one.

A senior business analyst who has been in your seat.

Over the last several years, our senior business analysts have done hundreds of on-site analyses in 48 states — across every kind of service and trade business there is: concrete, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, design-build, and more.

The person sitting across from you has done this more times than almost anyone alive — and talks like an owner, not an accountant.

Tell us about your business.

We work with a limited number of businesses at a time, and we only take one on if we're confident we can help. Tell us a little about yours and we'll let you know if it's a fit.

Where we’d come for the Checkup. No office? We make arrangements.
We reach out fast — usually within minutes during the day.
We work with established businesses doing $1M and up.

Applying doesn't cost anything. We'll confirm it's a fit on a quick call, then $99 locks your date. Everything you share is confidential — and before we visit, you'll have our signed confidentiality agreement plus proof of insurance and bonding in hand.

Questions owners actually ask.

What does it cost?

$99 locks your date. The total is $1,300 — and you only pay the rest if, at the end, you're satisfied it was worth it. If you're not, you owe nothing more and your $99 is refunded. You're risking $99, and only $99.

I don't have time for this.

That's what almost every owner says — and it's exactly why it exists. It's about 90 minutes of your time on day one and a closing sit-down. We handle everything else while you keep running your business. Most owners get scheduled within three business days of their call, because we move at the speed you do.

I don't have an office, or I work from home.

Not a problem. Plenty of great businesses run from a truck, a garage, or a kitchen table. Tell us on the call and we'll make arrangements that work for you — wherever you run the business from.

Do I need to get my books or paperwork ready?

No. Don't clean anything up or pull any reports. A shoebox of receipts is fine. We do the digging — you just answer questions as we go. Owners who feel "not ready" are exactly who this is built for.

I don't really know my own numbers. Is that a problem?

No — it's normal. Most owners we sit with can't read their own balance sheet and have never had a plan for the money. You won't be judged. Everything we hand you is in plain English, with real dollars, nothing you need a finance background to understand.

What do I actually walk away with?

The findings and the recommendations — what's working, what's leaking, what it's costing you, and exactly what to do about it. In writing, in plain language. It's yours to keep whether you do anything else with us or not.

Am I locked into anything afterward?

No. When it's done you can put the recommendations in place yourself, have a team help you, or do nothing at all. No obligation, no pressure.

I don't want this affecting my team — or them even knowing.

Completely understood, and completely normal. We work as discreetly as you need. We don't talk with your employees unless you want us to, and we work around your schedule, your locations, and how you run things. Plenty of owners prefer we keep a low profile — that's your call, and we respect it from the first minute.

I'm thinking about selling or stepping back one day. Is this for me?

Yes — that's one of the most valuable times to do it. Most businesses aren't actually ready to sell or hand down, because they run on the owner instead of on systems. The Checkup shows you exactly where you stand and what to fix to make the business worth more — and worth selling — when you're ready. You don't have to be selling tomorrow for it to pay off today.

Can you help with taxes and keeping more of what I make?

That's a big part of what comes out of the Checkup. Most owners we sit with have no real plan for taxes or for protecting what they've built — it just happens to them every spring. We show you where that money's going and what can be done about it, in plain English, alongside everything else we find.

What kind of business is this for?

Established service and trade businesses doing $1M or more — concrete, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing, landscaping, design-build, distribution, manufacturing, and more. If you're not sure you fit, apply anyway and we'll tell you straight.

The money's already yours.
You just can't see it yet.
