Tell us about your business and we will send you an honest evaluation of your brand, marketing, operations, and growth potential within 48 hours. No cost. No obligation.
We Buy. We Sell. We Help You Grow.
WETYR is your scaling advisor for the full business lifecycle. We buy your business outright, we help you buy another business, and we run rollups that exit when the multiple makes sense. When you retain us as your scaling advisor, every consulting service we provide is delivered complimentary toward the business goals we set together. One operating partner. One aligned incentive structure. One brand for entering, scaling, acquiring, and exiting.
- We will buy your business when you are ready to exit. Direct, cash at close, operator-buyer.
- We will help you buy a business and structure the rollup. Sourcing, QoE, deal terms, post-close integration.
- We will exit your rollup at the multiple expansion point. Strategic sale or platform transition.
- We are your scaling advisor. Branding, marketing, AI, cybersecurity, recruiting, funding - all complimentary to retained clients toward agreed business goals.
AI Readiness Assessment: Why It Matters For Owners and Operators
AI Readiness Assessment sits at the intersection of strategy and execution for most growth-stage and lower-middle-market businesses. WETYR treats this work as one of seven integrated practice areas because the decisions made here interact with marketing, financial planning, M&A, recruiting, and exit timing. Owners who silo this work from the rest of the operating model end up paying for the same insight twice — once with the specialist they hired, and again when downstream decisions get re-litigated because no one held the integrated view.
The framework WETYR uses is identical across all 50 states and across the 25 niches in our acquisition universe: diagnose the constraint, model the alternatives, choose based on stated owner goals, execute with weekly accountability. That sounds simple. The reason most engagements fail is that step two (modeling alternatives) gets shortcut, and step four (weekly accountability) gets dropped after the first month. Our engagement model is designed to keep both steps honest.
How WETYR Engagements Work
Every engagement starts with a complimentary 30-minute diagnostic call. We use the call to understand the actual problem — not the symptom you came in with. From there, we propose a scoped engagement with clear deliverables, weekly accountability, and a 90-day measurable outcome. Engagements are retained, not project-based, because the work compounds. Owners who retain WETYR receive supporting services across the seven practice areas at no incremental cost when those services are aligned to the agreed business goals.
If you want to see whether ai readiness assessment is a fit for your situation, the next step is to book a complimentary call. We will not pitch. We will tell you honestly whether the gaps warrant a paid engagement or whether the better move is internal. That honesty is the engagement model.
Where AI Readiness Assessment Fits In The Lifecycle
WETYR's positioning is "Zero to Exit" — the operating partner across the entire business lifecycle. AI Readiness Assessment can appear at any phase: launch, scaling, acquisition, integration, or exit preparation. Each phase changes the answer. The framework that fits a $5M revenue scaling business won't fit a $30M business preparing for sale, and the framework that fits an acquirer won't fit a seller. WETYR maintains the lifecycle view so the answer is calibrated to where you actually are, not where the playbook assumes you are.
Authoritative Sources & Further Reading
WETYR works alongside primary sources, regulators, and industry data providers when advising owners and operators. The references below are the same sources our advisory team uses when modeling deals, benchmarking multiples, and stress-testing assumptions. We encourage every owner, buyer, and operator to verify any data point that materially affects their decision against the underlying primary source.
Primary Federal Sources
- U.S. SBA — 7(a) Loan Program for acquisition financing eligibility, terms, and lender list.
- SEC EDGAR for public-company comparables, 10-K disclosures, and recent strategic acquirer filings.
- IRS — Sale of a Business on Section 1060 asset-allocation reporting and tax treatment of asset vs stock sales.
- U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — Industries at a Glance for wage, employment, and growth data by NAICS code.
- U.S. Census Economic Census for industry size, firm counts, and revenue distributions.
- Federal Reserve Economic Data for prevailing rate environment underwriting.
Standards & Reference Bodies
- AICPA for Quality of Earnings methodology and CPA standards governing transaction-related financial work.
- FINRA Rules and Guidance for understanding when a transaction crosses into broker-dealer territory.
- NACVA business valuation credentialing body and standards (CVA designation).
- USPAP — Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice for valuation engagement standards.
- Investopedia — EBITDA reference page for definitional alignment with our glossary.
- Harvard Business Review — Mergers and Acquisitions archive on integration and post-close value creation.
For deeper transaction-specific data, the GF Data and PitchBook private-company transaction databases publish quarterly multiple ranges by industry size band that we cross-reference against our own pipeline benchmarks. Owners considering a sale should also review the Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Report (free, annual) for current cost-of-capital and lender appetite data across the lower middle market. Buyers underwriting search-fund or holdco theses commonly pair Stanford GSB's Search Fund Study with the IBBA Market Pulse report, which tracks multiples for sub-$50M transactions quarterly. None of these sources replace deal-specific advisory, but they give owners and operators the same reference points professional acquirers are using on the other side of the table.
