Eli Rafailov, Business Valuations & Exit Planning

Eli Rafailov, Business Valuations & Exit Planning I help owners turn their company into a business that RUNS without them, and sells for more when they EXIT.

05/26/2026

This supermarket does $8M a year and is listed for $2.99M.
But add the inventory they're not including and your real buy-in is closer to $4M — for a business that's only 4 years old with no proof it survives a downturn.

This sign manufacturing company does $3.9M a year and has a full pipeline of quoted jobs.
But most of that pipeline isn't under contract — and one key license sits with a single person.
Those two risks alone are costing the owner $800K–$1.5M at exit.

05/24/2026

This four-location smoke shop portfolio clears $500K in profit a year.
But nobody can tell which location is actually making money — and every customer is a walk-in with nothing pulling them back.
That blind spot is costing the owner $500K–$1M at exit.

05/22/2026

This waxing franchise has three locations and clears $500K in profit.
But two of the three are underperforming and nobody has figured out how to replicate what the top location is doing.
That inconsistency is costing the owner $750K at exit.

05/21/2026

This pool service business runs on recurring contracts and clears $440K in profit a year.
But every new customer comes from a referral with zero system behind it.
That one gap is costing the owner $600K–$900K at exit.

05/20/2026

This landscaping business clears $630K in profit on $2.3M in revenue.
But the owner is still bidding every job himself.
That single bottleneck is costing him $600K–$700K at exit.

05/19/2026

This glass repair business does $1.8M a year but only clears $220K in profit.
The earnings aren't normalized and nobody can tell what's recurring vs one-off.
That lack of clarity alone is costing the owner $400K–$600K at exit

05/18/2026

This wholesale distribution business does $11.86M a year but only clears $504K in profit.
Thin margins at that volume means one repricing conversation could be worth $800K at exit.

05/17/2026

This laundromat prints $340K in profit a year with almost no staff.
But the owner has zero data on machine usage and no recurring revenue.
That blind spot is costing him $500K–$800K at exit.

05/15/2026

This car audio and tint shop does $1.2M a year.
But most of the value lives in the owner's hands and reputation.
The second he walks out — so does $350K–$550K of the sale price.

05/14/2026

This pizzeria has been open for 30 years and does $1.56M a year.
But the owner is still running day-to-day operations himself.
That one thing is costing him $250K–$450K at exit.
