Make Your Business Better
A proven approach to make your business more profitable, more valuable, and easier to run.
“Is your business ready to fund your future?”
Most aren't. In fact, most business owners don't truly know what their business is worth - or what it has the potential to be worth with some intentional improvements… The difference is your “Value Gap”.
Good news is that there’s an easy way to find out - and take steps to transform your business into a highly valuable, transferable asset.
You can close that gap with a proven approach to create significant value, peace of mind, and freedom.
Who we are:
Clear Growth Advisors is a mid-market business growth advisory firm, launched in 2025. We work exclusively with owners of $10M+ businesses who are committed to doubling the value of their company - or more - in the next 2-4 years.
Why now:
More than half of all small and mid-size businesses will change hands in the next few years - but fail to provide the real value owners want or need to live the life they have in mind.
The reasons are familiar: uncertainty, weak execution, uneven cash-flow, founder dependency, and growth that strains systems, bank balances, and people.
Begin With Clarity
We start by helping owners to define their Strategic Intent and lifestyle goals. Then reliably align stakeholders and the leadership team around what needs to happen for the company to succeed.
Our CLARITY 1 Assessment provides a quick objective snapshot of where your business is strong and where you’re leaving value on the table - delivered as a concise report that leadership teams can act on.
Build Strategic Capacity
Our work centers on increasing Strategic Capacity: the organization’s ability to deliver profits, growth, and transferable value. It’s not only a measure of current performance; it’s the fundamental indicator of future value and resilience through leadership or M&A transitions.
Finish with Lifestyle Freedom
The outcome is a business that runs smoothly without owner dependency, commands higher multiples. One that reduces risk and post‑close earn‑outs, attracting more and better offers to fund the life that owners envision.
Problems We Solve
Inconsistent profit and cash-flow despite healthy demand.
Growth that depends on a few people, customers, or heroes.
Revenue growth efforts that scale unevenly and erode margin.
Lagging forecasts and reports that delay good decisions.
Business stories that struggle to pass buyer or investor diligence.
Using proven Growth‑Drivetm frameworks, we help owners clarify what they want and need the business to deliver, then build capabilities with the leadership team to achieve 3-Dimensions of Business Growth:
Predictable profits and cash-flow
Predictable sustainable growth
Predictable transferable value
The outcome is a business that runs smoothly without owner dependency, commanding higher multiples, and value to fund the life you have in mind.
