Progressive is well positioned to grow into a formidable regional player. V2E will help leverage your existing strengths while building the foundations that improve day-to-day execution and maximize enterprise value.
Two experienced partners covering five critical leadership roles — operations, technology, finance, compliance, and marketing — at a fraction of the cost of a single full-time hire. Hover each role to see what's included.
How does this actually pay for itself?
›We find the savings first — technology costs, outsourced labor, operational waste. By month 6, the goal is this costs you nothing out of pocket. The improvements to your bottom line cover the investment. Everything after that — and the exit premium — is gravy.
Based on our conversation, here's where we think the biggest wins are — and each one makes the business stronger today and worth more tomorrow.
Why do these three matter most for what your business is worth?
›Buyers pay for businesses that are growing, efficient, and easy to take over. Compliance wins bigger clients (growth). Better technology means better margins (profit). A strong brand means a pipeline that doesn't depend on the founders (transferability). Together, these compound into a business that commands a premium.

What drives the multiple higher?
›Buyers discount for risk. Every undocumented process, every messy financial, every client relationship that depends on the founders — that's risk, and risk lowers your multiple. We systematically remove that risk while growing your earnings. That's how a 3x becomes a 6x or higher.
No plan. Books have some personal stuff mixed in. You're the one every client calls. "I'll deal with it when I'm ready."
A PE firm or bigger competitor reaches out. Sounds great — until you realize they're running the process, not you.
Their team finds things. Compliance gaps. Processes that aren't written down. Too much depending on you. Each finding chips away at the price.
Original number drops 20–30%. They want a longer earn-out. Take it or walk. Either way, you've wasted months.
You sign for less than you should have. Locked into years of earn-out. Wondering what could have been different.
Honest assessment of where things stand. We find the quick wins — cost savings, tech waste, compliance gaps — and start fixing them.
Financial reporting you can actually read. Tech audit done. Compliance system taking shape. The team feels the difference.
Every month, the operation improves. Better margins. Bigger clients. Less depends on you. The business starts looking the way a buyer wants to see it.
Financials are clean. Operations are documented. Compliance is a selling point. Multiple buyers competing for your business. Your terms.
You get what you deserve. Clean deal. Premium price. You shake hands knowing you didn't leave anything behind.
What's the average return on working with V2E?
›Our average client sees a 1,300% return on their investment during an 18-month engagement that ends in a sale. The operational improvements alone cover the cost. The exit premium is on top of that.
Reduce the day-to-day load on the founders. Improve profitability through better operations, smarter tech, and cost savings. Get the financials clean and decision-ready. Make compliance a competitive advantage. Build a brand that opens enterprise doors.
Position the company for a premium valuation. Find the right buyer for your goals — not just the first one who calls. Create competitive tension so you have leverage. Manage the whole process from diligence through close.
How is this different from a broker or consultant?
›A consultant gives you a report and leaves. A broker shows up at the end. We're in the trenches with you for the full ride — fixing the business, growing the business, and then selling the business. If you call, we pick up the phone. That's how we work.
No pitch, no pressure. Let's get on a call, talk through the specifics, and figure out if there's a fit. That's it.
