“I built this for the owner who is tired of being the bottleneck.”
After 25 years of running and consulting for companies, I saw the same tragedy repeat itself: incredible businesses would either not sell or would sell for pennies on the dollar because they were too dependent on their owner.
Buyers don't buy jobs; they buy assets.
If your business can't run without you, it's a job. And jobs don't sell for 8× multiples.
I have built and sold multiple companies and understand the stress and uncertainty of selling a business. At RunDuckRun, we don't just give you advice. We roll up our sleeves and build the systems, the team, and the culture that allows you to step away—and get paid life-changing money for it.

Our Philosophy
Most business brokers just want a listing. They'll tell you what you want to hear, list your business, and hope someone bites. That's not how you get a premium valuation.
At RunDuckRun, we believe that preparation is leverage. The more prepared your business is—clean financials, documented processes, independent management—the more leverage you have in a negotiation.
We exist to give mature business owners the exit they deserve. You've built this country's economy for decades. You shouldn't have to settle for a fire-sale exit just because you're tired. We help you sprint through the finish line.
