Enterprise Value Creation by Multiple

EBITDA Improvement

Automation reduces labor costs by $2M annually, directly improving EBITDA by $2M. This represents pure efficiency gain, net of operating costs.

Tax Benefits

As a C-Corp, you benefit from 100% first-year bonus depreciation under the 2025 OBBBA Act. The full $2M equipment investment is deducted immediately, reducing taxable income and improving cash flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from PE investors

How quickly can we see ROI from automation investments?+

Most of our automation projects deliver positive cash flow within 12-18 months. The EBITDA improvement is immediate, while the full ROI depends on your financing structure. With 100% bonus depreciation, the tax benefits can accelerate payback significantly.

What if we're planning to exit within 2-3 years?+

Perfect timing. The EBITDA improvement starts immediately and directly increases your exit multiple. Even with a 2-3 year horizon, you'll capture significant value through higher enterprise valuation while demonstrating operational improvements that make your portfolio company more attractive to buyers.

How do you identify the highest ROI projects?+

Our on-site assessment evaluates labor costs, cycle times, quality issues, and throughput bottlenecks. We prioritize projects with the highest labor cost reduction relative to capital investment, typically targeting 12-24 month payback periods before considering tax benefits.

What financing options are available?+

We work with multiple financing partners offering equipment loans, operating leases, and sale-leaseback structures. Most manufacturers can secure 5-7 year terms at competitive rates (currently 7-9%). We'll help structure financing to minimize cash outlay while maximizing tax benefits.

How do you document value creation for our LPs?+

We provide comprehensive reporting including OEE metrics, labor cost reduction, production throughput increases, and quality improvements. Our reports clearly tie operational improvements to EBITDA enhancement and enterprise value creation, perfect for LP communications and exit materials.

What industries do you serve?+

We specialize in mid-market manufacturers across automotive, aerospace, medical devices, consumer goods, and industrial products. Our sweet spot is companies with $10M-$100M in revenue that have labor-intensive operations with clear automation opportunities.
