# Built by owners, for owners building companies worth owning.

In their words

> “Since we started working with Horizon, we have a much more focused plan. The best part has been the mindset shift, from growing revenue to thinking about long‑term shareholder value.”

Erin BuryCo-founder and CEO, Willful[**109%** three-year revenue growth · The Globe and Mail, 2026 ↗](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/rob-magazine/top-growing-companies/article-ranking-canadas-top-growing-companies-of-2026/)

> “I only started to think about my business as an asset when I started working with Horizon. No one ever talked to me about that.”

Megan RafuseCo-founder and CEO, Shift Collab

> “The ability to get high level and actually work on the whole structure of what we’re doing. To pull yourself up and understand what’s going on. That’s the value.”

Scott DennisFounder and CEO, Roslin

> “Getting to simplicity is really hard. We have come from a place where business is complicated, and you simplified it.”

Our mission

## Help 1,000 founders add at least $1M in enterprise value by 2036.

Over $1B in total impact.

Value that stays with the people who built it. Companies worth more, less dependent on their owners, and ready for whatever comes next: keep it, grow it or sell it, on your terms.

The team

## Our team becomes yours.

Experienced founders and M&A experts who have built, scaled and sold 8 and 9 figure companies.

Where we start

No one else in your life carries these questions. We do.

“What is it actually worth?”

“Could it run without me?”

“Keep building, or sell?”

Not your spouse. Not your accountant. Not your team. We’ve built and sold companies ourselves, and every answer starts with knowing exactly where you stand today.

That’s the Value Baseline: how healthy the business is, what it’s worth today, and what it could be worth, scored against the best businesses in your market.

What we check

## The most complete health check for your business.

We score the 160 quality markers a buyer will check, plus six about you. You leave with a valuation, and exactly what's moving it.

### Decisions That Need You

What we are looking for

Every decision above a certain size still comes to you, in person.

What you're thinking

"I am still involved in every deal."

What a buyer asks

What actually stops if he is not there on Monday?

What it costs at the deal

An earnout instead of cash at close.

Marker 1 of 18 shown here. The Value Baseline covers all 160, the same quality markers a buyer scores you on before they price you.

The show

## Worth Owning
