You bought a business. Now make it sweat.
Right now it can't it runs on legacy systems and a departing founder: tangled, heavy, and standalone. The ROI Builder untangles it, lightens it up, and aligns it to your portfolio turning a static asset into a compounding one, on a plan we stand behind and funded from the deal.
The challenge
You didn't buy it to break even.
You bought it to build wealth.
The deal's closed and the capital's deployed but the business you bought is built to run, not to return: tangled in legacy systems, heavy with the founder's way of doing things, and walled off from your portfolio. Until that changes, the wealth you're counting on stays locked inside it.
-
It's too tangled to throw off the returns you underwrote.
-
It's too heavy to grow without adding cost and chaos.
-
It's walled off from the rest of your portfolio.
-
The founder is the business, and they're leaving.
You modelled a return, a growth curve and portfolio leverage. None of it lands while the asset stays exactly as you bought it.
The solution
Make the asset sweat, return the deal, grow the value, unlock the portfolio
You own the asset. We make sure it pays off.

Before ROI Builder
-
Legacy systems and founder-run processes trap cash instead of returning it
-
Every bit of growth adds cost and chaos, so value flatlines instead of compounding
-
Walled off from the rest of your portfolio, so cross-sell leverage stays theoretical
-
Relationships and know-how sit in the founder's head and they're leaving at the earn-out
-
A return that's modelled on paper, not actually delivered
After ROI Builder
-
Lean and lightened up, throwing off the cash that pays the acquisition back
-
Systems and an operating model that grow EBITDA and enterprise value every year of the hold
-
Plugged into the portfolio, opening cross-sell and new-business leverage
-
Runs without the founder, with knowledge systemised and a playbook for the next deal
-
A return we stand behind, delivered against an agreed plan
How we work
How we make the acquisition pay off
Every engagement runs the same path Review, Build, Handover so there's no gap between knowing what's holding the return back and owning an asset that delivers it.
ROI Review
Map the value, opportunities and the risks
We review how your newly acquired business actually runs today, and where it's falling short of your vision and goals for the business.
What we do:
-
Map where the business is tangled up in legacy systems and founder-run processes
-
Map the knowledge and relationships locked in the founder's head before they walk
-
Pin down what to untangle, build and connect to unlock value
What you get:
A prioritised plan of what to untangle, build and connect.
System build
We build the systems that make the asset return and compound
This is the hands-on work that untangles the asset, lightens it up, and plugs it into your portfolio moving it off the founder and onto systems your team can run. It's the biggest single lift to whether the acquisition returns the deal and compounds.
What we do:
-
Untangle the legacy systems and strip out the complexity that ties it up
-
Build the systems and operating model that let it scale and compound value
-
Connect its systems, data and customers to your portfolio for cross-sell leverage
-
Capture the founder's knowledge and relationships, AI-assisted, before the earn-out ends
What you get:
A lean, scalable asset generating returns and plugged into the platform.
Handover
We optimise it to peak, then hand you a proven, portfolio-ready asset
This is where we prove the rebuilt business runs, optimise it for peak return, transfer it to your operating team, and leave a playbook you can rerun on the next acquisition so the return is locked in, not dependent on us, and every future deal starts sharper.
What we do:
-
QA every system against live operations so nothing breaks when we step away
-
Stabilise the final tweaks and train your operating team to run it confidently
-
Optimise the rebuilt systems to make the asset sweat at its peak squeezing out the last-mile return before we step away
-
Transfer ownership, exit cleanly, and leave a playbook to rerun on the next deal
What you get:
A compounding, portfolio-ready asset, tuned for peak return handed to your team, on plan.

Features
What a business built to run and grow looks like
You're not after another integration report or a folder of findings. You want the business returning the deal, growing every year, and creating leverage across the portfolio. By the end of an ROI Reactor engagement you'll have:
-
An asset that returns the deal Untangled and lightened up, running lean and throwing off the cash that pays the acquisition back.
-
Value built to compound Systems and an operating model that let it scale, so EBITDA and enterprise value grow year on year across the hold
-
Portfolio leverage unlocked Connected to your other businesses so it opens cross-sell, shared-service and new-business opportunities across the platform
-
Automation doing the heavy lifting The manual, repetitive work that kept the business heavy rebuilt as automated, AI-assisted workflows, so it runs leaner and scales without piling on cost.
-
The founder's knowledge captured Relationships, decisions and know-how extracted and transferred to your team before the earn-out ends.
-
An operation that runs without the founder The highest-risk processes systemised, so the business doesn't wobble when they walk.
-
A repeatable value-creation playbook Turn this deal into the template for the next, so your roll-up gets sharper and more valuable with scale.
-
A return you can underwrite The whole engagement is delivered against an agreed plan we stand behind, so choosing us takes risk off the deal rather than adding to it.

Our Mission
Why value creation is where the return is won
We make the asset sweat, not just survive
We work from the return you underwrote backwards and build the systems that turn a static business into a compounding one.
Enterprise-grade, done properly
20+ years rebuilding operations where nothing is allowed to break now aimed at making your portfolio company deliver its return. Excellence in the return, not a race against the clock
We capture the founder before they walk
The earn-out is your one window to get the knowledge out. Most firms let it leave. We don't.
Next steps
Is ROI Reactor right for this deal?
This is for you if you:
-
Have acquired (or are about to) an owner-dependent $2M+ business
-
Need it returning capital and compounding value, not just running steady
-
Want it plugged into a portfolio to unlock cross-sell and new-business leverage
-
Have a founder leaving or stepping back inside an earn-out window
-
Want the option to repeat the playbook across a roll-up
Not a fit if you:
-
The business already runs lean, scales, and shares the platform
-
You want an open-ended value-creation retainer
-
There's no operating team on your side to receive the handover
-
You're looking for a valuation or diligence, not operational value creation
-
You want an operator to run it for you long-term, not systems your team can own

It's our Review → Build → Handover engine, run backwards from your vision and goals for the business a fixed-price engagement, scoped to an agreed plan and guaranteed against it, that untangles a newly acquired, owner-dependent business, lightens it up for returns, and aligns it to your portfolio so it starts delivering the return.
Because stabilising and integrating the asset is table stakes any shop can quote that. The money is in making it sweat: returning the deal, compounding the value year on year, and unlocking cross-sell leverage across your portfolio. That's what we build toward.
Same engine, buy-side context: it's scoped against your vision and goals for the business, aimed at returns and portfolio leverage, and timed to the earn-out window not an owner preparing to sell.
Your vision and goals for the business and your value-creation priorities, access to the business and its people, and an operating contact to receive the handover. We work alongside your team and stay behind the scenes.
Throughout, you and your operating team track the engagement in The RevampBiz Portal at app.revampbiz.co, raising requests and following progress in one place.
A single fixed price, confirmed on the scoping call based on size and complexity. No retainer.
We scope the engagement to a plan we agree with you up front, and we stand behind it we keep building until the plan is delivered rather than walking when a timeline runs out. The exact form of the guarantee is set on the scoping call and tied to the value milestones in your deal model.
Yes, we build the first value-creation cycle as a repeatable playbook you run across acquisitions, so a roll-up or buy-and-build gets sharper and more valuable with each deal.
You have a lean, scalable asset returning capital and plugged into the portfolio. If you want further value-creation cycles toward the thesis, they're scoped separately as fixed-price engagements never an ongoing lock-in.
