Client Application

If you’re interested in becoming a client, we will need to evaluate your business and your specific situation to determine if we would be a good fit for one another. Due to our unique approach, our services are in extreme demand. Additionally, since we only make money if we succeed at growing your company, we must be highly selective about the clients we take on.

Before you submit this application, please make sure your company meets the following minimum criteria:

  • Annual sales of at least $1 million
  • Profitable or breaking even
  • In business at least two years
  • Located in the USA

Additionally, our business model is based on the idea of growing your business dramatically and then selling the company within 18 to 24 months. So if you’re not willing to sell within that time period, we would not be interested in working with you.

All your answers will be held in the strictest confidence. We are not asking for any proprietary information on this application, so we will not sign an NDA at this stage. We perform extensive due diligence on all potential clients, so please be honest and forthright in your answers. You may skip any of the essay questions if you feel uncomfortable answering them, but we will need to get this information before we can make a decision on whether or not to work with you.
