The best part has been the mindset shift, from growing revenue to thinking about long term shareholder value.” **Erin Bury**Co-founder, Willful ![](/images/jordan-axani.png) > “Getting to simplicity is really hard. We have come from a place where business is complicated, and you simplified it, and the things that need to happen for us to get there.” **Jordan Axani**Co-founder and COO, Shift Collab ![](/images/megan-portrait.png) > “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. They gave us the areas to zone in on strategically, and now we have a path to the growth we want.” **Megan Rafuse**Co-founder and CEO, Shift Collab ![](/images/scott-dennis.jpg) > “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 Dennis**Founder and CEO, Roslin ![](/images/mark-fardy.jpg) > “Matt guided our ownership team through the sale of Mid-Canada Mod Center to De Havilland Canada… While the deal was complex with numerous moving parts and tight timelines, Matt kept us focused on the goal line, responding quickly to evolving issues at every stage in process.” **Mark Fardy, CPA, CA**Former CEO, Mid-Canada Mod Center · Before Horizon ![](/images/rob-griffin.jpg) > “He’s sharp, direct, and brings real clarity to complex decisions. He listens, quickly gets to the heart of an issue, and isn’t afraid to give candid advice, even when it’s not the answer you were hoping to hear.” **Rob Griffin**Former CEO, Sideshift Inc. · Before Horizon > “Working with Horizon transformed what I thought my exit could be. Clarity, consensus with my partners, the bar raised on what was possible, and a clear roadmap to get there.” **Second-Generation Owner, CEO**Family professional services firm > “Horizon gave us a clear and practical lens on where we stand today and what acquirers will care about most. Their process helped us identify gaps and prioritize next steps without overwhelming us.” **Co-owner**Healthcare platform > “When a buyer approached us, Matt helped us slow down and get clear on how we wanted to show up. He gave us a framework for the conversation, helped us put words to the value we’d built, and kept us focused on what mattered most. The offer ended up 3.5x higher than where it started. Just as important, we walked into every conversation feeling prepared and confident.” **Owner**B2B services company > “I’d spent 30 years building my business, but selling it was new territory. Matt sat down with my numbers, showed me how a buyer would look at them, and walked me through everything: the sale process, my staff, my biggest client, the lease. When the offer came in, I understood exactly where it came from and what my options were.” **Owner**B2C services company Before you book ## Your questions, answered. The call is a two-way conversation: we’ll ask about your business, and you can ask us anything. More in our [FAQ](/faq). A Horizon Partner. We’re founder-operators, private equity operators and former investment bankers who have sold companies and bought them, so we’ve sat on both sides of the table. Between us: five exits as owners, 30+ acquisitions bought and integrated, a private equity backed rollup that exited at more than $1B, and $100M+ in deals advised. What makes a business worth buying is what makes it worth owning, and most owners never get that view. We give you the tools to build it, so you have more options. Selling calls are with Matt Harrison, our co-founder and M&A lead. [Meet the team →](/team) No. Most owners we work with are not selling soon, but most have a number in their head. It came from a friend's deal, a rule of thumb, or a broker who wanted the listing. Sometimes it's high and sometimes it's low, but either way it's a big number to be guessing at. In 30 minutes, we replace the guess with a realistic range: what buyers are paying for businesses like yours right now, where yours likely lands, and what would make it worth more. You get the number, and what you do with it is up to you. Exit doesn't have to mean selling. It can mean stepping back from the day to day while you keep the business and its income. It can mean selling a part of it, handing it to family or your team, or selling all of it. Most owners start by stepping back, because a business that needs you less is worth more. Then you decide what comes next. In the Value Baseline, we help you choose the path that fits your goals and your life. [See the Value Baseline →](/value-baseline) If it’s a fit, we’ll say so on the call. The next step is the Value Baseline, and we share the fee then so you can decide in your own time. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you who is. The Value Baseline starts at $20,000 per company, with one owner included. Additional owners are quoted on your call. There is no proposal step and no back-and-forth. It’s backed by the 10x Guarantee: we find $200,000 in value, or your money back. [See the Value Baseline →](/value-baseline)[Read the 10x Guarantee →](/guarantee) Yes. Everything you share, including your financials and the call recording, is treated as confidential.
