We help small businesses grow.
This used to be fun…
Entrepreneurship often starts with passion.
You have an idea. You turn it into a business. And you pour everything you’ve got into building and growing that business.
But there comes a point when you find yourself stuck. You’re working like crazy only to feel like you’re going nowhere. You have no time for family, friends, or hobbies, and the passion that used to fuel you has vanished.
You’ve thought about selling, but you’re worried your business isn’t worth what you need to retire the way you want. So, what do you do?
At Sweetview Partners, we talk to a lot of business owners in this situation. They want to sell, but they aren't sure how to optimize their business for the best valuation. And the distance between their current valuation and what it would take to retire keeps them grinding for years.
We had enough of these conversations to identify a need. Then, we created a solution: We partnered with Scalable, a company that specializes in training small businesses on the “7 levels of scale,” to coach business owners on how to retire sooner with the strongest valuation possible.

Everyone knows profits are king and most business owners know roughly what their profir looks like. But how you measure that profit has a big impact on your value, too. How reliable is your measure of profit?

The Switzerland Structure
Switzerland has prided itself on it’s neutrality in international affairs. Your company should do the same, but how neutral is it, really?

Company valuations are highly dependent on how efficiently cash flows through the organization. Do you know how efficiently cash flows through your company? Do you know how to improve it?
Recurring Revenue
There are many different ways that revenue can come into your company. Having big revenues is great, but your valuation is also determined by how sure you can be that the cash arrives month in, month out. What do your revenues look like?

Everyone knows that customer satisfaction is important to any business’ survival. But as a small business, how do you measure customer satisfaction? Can you show someone exactly how satisfied your customers are?
Hub and Spoke
Most small business owners are at the hub of their organization - the centerpiece around which everything moves - just like a wagon wheel. But that can only lead to a specific amount of growth. What do you do once you’ve outgrown this system?
