Supercharge your bottom-line with our business optimization program

Our 180-day Business Optimization Program is designed to extract every bit of profit from your existing operations, without having to generate new leads.
We only get paid if you increase your bottom line.

The Problem

As sales grow, profit margin shrinks

The more sales you have, the more people you hire, more overhead, more products & more complexity. As a result, your profit margin shrinks. You end up working harder without seeing the results on the bottom-line.

The Better ROI

Optimize your current business to be more profitable

Earn More

Our goal is to boost your net profit. This means you'll earn more from your current business without needing to add more staff, attract more clients, or introduce new products.

Work Smarter

By making your business more efficient, you'll avoid costly errors and reduce problems. This leads to less work and stress for you.

Increase Valuation

Efficient businesses are sold at a premium. Remember, the value of a business is based on its net profit, not the total revenue. Optimizing net profit is the fastest way to increase valuation.

Assessment
See if your business has room for optimization

We use this time to get to know one another to see if we can find areas of your business that can be optimized so we can create value together.

Plan
Develop a private equity Optimization Plan

To create a plan for your business, we dig for gold by running our due diligence process that analyzes your financials and operations.  

Implementing
Implement together as if we were partners

We don’t just make a plan-- we join your leadership team as Fractional Partners and help lead the implementation process from within.

Support
Ensuring our program's long-term impact

We want your business to continue to grow and thrive even after we're done implementing the plan. We'll still meet to answer questions and provide guidance as ongoing support.

What makes our program different?

A funnel shows that we start at the end, not the top

Focused on generating profit, not just more leads

We shift the focus from increasing leads and sales to extracting more from the clients and sales you already have. This is the path of least resistance to quickly impact your bottom line. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel, you just need to grease the one you have.

We improve the business together as Fractional Partners

We do whatever it takes to make sure we’re maximizing your business. We’ll join your leadership team and support you from the inside in executing our Optimization Plan as if we were your partners. We’ll also call in our internal team of Subject-Matter-Experts to help us execute the plan, implement best-practices and move us forward faster.

We get paid when we increase your net profit

It’s your business - we just want to help you maximize it. That’s why unlike other private equity firms, we don’t take equity stakes in the businesses we help grow. Instead, we’re paid a percentage of the new profit we help generate.  No equity, no long term commitments. Our sole mission is to quickly increase your net profit because of our alignment of interest to do so.

Meet our Operating Partner, Yarin Gaon

Yarin is an Israeli ex-pat investor and serial entrepreneur.

He started four companies, including Israel's largest e-commerce platform for military goods. He sold it right before moving to the US and finishing his MBA joining a venture capital firm as an (EIR) entrepreneur in residence. During the day, Yarin was in charge helping distressed startups grow. During the night, he mentored hundreds of founders at U-Chicago.

That mixture pushed him to found "Fractional Partners" and become the strategic partner he didn't have when he ran his businesses.

We’ve helped over 397 businesses

Yarin helped me narrow my focus and me find the most profitable parts of my business. He encouraged me to focus more on the online portion of my business which ended up saving me in the long run (pandemic hit shortly after!) my business is still thriving today because of this advice.

FAQs

Great questions, important answers

How many hours per week will we need to dedicate to the Optimization Program?

Every business has unique needs; some businesses are easier to navigate than others when it comes to optimizing their business. We tend to join your existing leadership meetings, but on average you can expect to add one additional meeting per week to your schedule, with follow-up work that will come out of it.

Do I need to invest/allocate resources to any new changes we implement to the business?

The first stage of our Optimization Program is all about seeking immediate opportunities to find cash within the business. We can then decide if we want to use that cash to pursue more complex or bigger optimization opportunities.

How involved will the business’ existing leadership team be?

VERY. Your team will be a huge part of implementing our program. Your dedicated fractional partner will meet with you (the owner) individually to discuss more intimate components of your business like the financials and other areas. But, the majority of the work we will do together will include your leadership team. It’s very important we have their buy-in and support to successfully implement our plan.

What if my business is already working with an EOS implementor? Can we work together?

We are not here to replace EOS or implement EOS in your business. We work with your existing implementor to help integrate the Optimization Plan into your Quarterly Rocks and to update your Vision/Traction organizer

What percentage of our newly gained net profit will Fractional Partners take?

Typically, we take home 50% of the new net profit. This is not forever. Once our work is done, the extra profits are yours to keep.

Can you get my business ready to be acquired?

While we will be focusing on increasing your profit, our primary goal is not to get your business ready for an exit. The added profit will ultimately increase your valuation, but that’s a happy side-effect. Getting ready for an exit is typically an 18-24 month process which cannot be achieved in 180 days. This transition can be discussed after our initial engagement.

What is the difference between working with Fractional Partners and other “cost savers”?

Unlike cost-saver firms that are focused on re-negotiating terms with your existing suppliers, which is purely tactical, we take a private equity strategic approach to increase your overall net margin. While some of it may focus on reducing costs, much of it is focused on generating better types/higher margin revenue within the business. We’re not here to save you five extra bucks on your printing supplies.

What areas of the business will be optimized?

Your business is one big machine/process. It starts with leads (marketing), to converting them into customers (sales), delivering the product or service (operations), and the infrastructure that supports the entire enterprise (finance, HR, etc). Because every step affects your net profit, we look at and optimize each stage, so nothing gets missed and no opportunities are lost. We will primarily focus on the areas that fixing would lead to the most impact on your bottom line.

Which subject matter experts (SMEs) will Fractional Partners deploy and what will they do?

It depends on which opportunities we find in your business. We usually bring our people to help with marketing, branding, digital ads, sales, sales training, financials, HR help, leadership, operations, and more. These individuals are not here to replace your staff or leadership team but are here to help execute on specific opportunities or needs that we’ve identified.

What is the process of beginning to work together? What is our timeline?

Because this is a very high-touch engagement, we only work with businesses in which we can bring a tremendous amount of value. That’s why every engagement begins with an introductory call to see if we are a good fit. Once we’ve established that we would love to begin our Optimization Program, your Fractional Partner will meet with your leadership team to begin the process of digging for gold in your business. Usually, from the first 30-minute into call to the first team meeting, it’s about 1-2 weeks.

Let’s see if we’re a good fit

We want to ensure that we are the right resource for you. That's why we begin every engagement with a brief 30-minute complimentary virtual meeting to get to know each other.

If we aren’t the right resource, we are happy to connect you to the right one who is--we want to bring you as much value as we can.
