Challenge

Too much depended on the founder. Key customers dealt only with them, and the accounts made the business hard for a buyer to trust.

Solution

We moved customer relationships to a new management team, cleaned up the financial reporting, and prepared the company for a proper sale process.

Outcome

Copperline sold for 2.1 times the first offer, and the founder stepped away on schedule with the team still in place.
