Loose Screws Lower Value

Loose screws don’t just spill coffee.

They lower the value of your business.

A wobbly table in business looks like:

• Undefined roles
• Inconsistent margins
• Founder dependence
• Sloppy financial reporting
• Customer concentration risk

Every loose process increases perceived risk.
And risk drives multiples…down!

Two companies can have the same revenue and the same profit.
The one with tighter systems gets the higher multiple.

Because systems create repeatability.
Repeatability creates confidence.
Confidence lowers risk.
Lower risk increases value.

Sometimes the path to a higher valuation isn’t a new strategy.

It’s four turns of a screwdriver.

Tighten the screws.
Raise the multiple, lower the discount rate…increase the value.
