I’ve been in your shoes.
Before I became an M&A advisor, I was a business owner—just like you. I’ve built, operated, grown, and sold manufacturing companies myself. I know what it’s like to face tough decisions, manage teams, solve daily operational challenges, and wonder what the business you’ve built is truly worth. In my own journey, I led the acquisition and sale of multiple manufacturing and industrial businesses, including a successful exit that gave me firsthand insight into what buyers really look for—and what sellers often overlook.
Today, I bring that real-world experience to the work I do as the founder of Summit Capital Advisors and NEO Business Advisors. I help manufacturing, industrial, and B2B service business owners unlock the true value of their companies and achieve successful, confident exits.
This book isn’t theory. It’s a blueprint based on what I’ve lived—and what I help owners do every day. If you’re ready to think seriously about the future of your business, I wrote this for you.

Determining Your Business Value
Understanding the true value of your manufacturing business is your most powerful asset. Many business owners see this as a task for later down the line. But in reality, an accurate grasp of your business’s value can unlock strategic growth opportunities, guide financial decisions, and help you time your exit for maximum return. Whether you’re planning to sell soon or want to build value for the future, knowing what your business is worth puts you in control, giving you a solid foundation for every step forward.
Determining value begins with cash flow. This is more than just a snapshot of what your business is generating now; it’s essential to see it through a buyer’s lens. Potential buyers scrutinize your cash flow, as it’s the lifeblood that drives your business’s value, assessing its performance and reliability.
