M&A ADVISORY + MESLO SYSTEMS
Know your numbers before you sell — or before you bid.
Molinas helps owner-led businesses prepare for valuation, exit, and better operating control.
For lower-market businesses with $1M-$5M EBITDA, government contractors or not, the first step is simple: get control of your numbers.
Start Here
Four signals buyers look for.
A business is easier to value when people, sales, structure, and market proof are clear.
Pillar 1
Human
Show who runs the work, where judgment lives, and how much depends on the owner.
Pillar 2
Sales
Prove where demand comes from, how revenue repeats, and what keeps the pipeline moving.
Pillar 3
Structure
Make pricing, delivery, reporting, files, and handoffs visible enough to inspect.
Pillar 4
Social Footprint
Build a public presence that customers, lenders, advisors, and buyers can verify.
Why It Matters
Reduce the discount before diligence begins.
When these four signals are unclear, buyers see owner dependence, fragile revenue, messy operations, or weak market proof. Each gap becomes a reason to lower value.
- Human: reduce owner dependence
- Sales: show repeatable demand
- Structure: make operations inspectable
- Social footprint: give the market something real to verify
