The Value Builder System™ is an online platform with a suite of tools designed to build company value over time. The business owner and their Certified Value Builder login to our secure system to complete exercises, set goals and track progress against a variety of value-building metrics.
We utilize the Value Builder System™ to identify the opportunities most likely to enhance the value of your business, and the issues that are certain to reduce value. Once we've assessed each of the value drivers in a clients business, we develop an actionable plan suited to each clients timeline and goals.
As a small business owner, all of the decisions for my business to fail or succeed rest on my shoulders. Big decisions are difficult. George has helped me break down my business goals into manageable parts. He’s showed me how to scrutinize how I spend my time, making sure that it's aligned with my priorities and goals. He’s helped me envision success by learning about different topics, how they will directly affect my progress toward successfully growing my business. Many of the ideas that he’s presented were foreign to me. Yet, he’s showed me that his ideas and procedures can not only help my business but anyone’s business. He’s taught me to play to my strengths and take action more effectively. This has proven to be an extremely productive process. I’ve never had a more optimistic view of my business success. I thank George and his Value Builder program and can highly recommend him to any business owner looking to open new doors for success in their business.
“George has been instrumental in helping our new business develop recurring revenue models, document processes to grow and scale and structure it to sell one day. It is eye opening when regardless of your business or industry, he is able to apply the same concepts to each one. We are so fortunate to go through the Value Builder System with George early on in our endeavor, rather than years later after burnout and realizing there could have been a better way!”

“I've been working with George for several years as well as a few months as part of the Value Builder program. George has a very impressive background and brings a great deal to this program. I particularly enjoy watching him coach and mentor the other participants in the program. This program is impressive and George does a great job facilitating it.”

“I have known George since 1997 when he was a client at Business Systems & Solutions. George is someone I would recommend highly for any endeavor. George has stayed in touch with me over the years and exemplifies the art of networking. He is open, dependable, thoughtful of others and has excellent business acumen. He is personable and professional at the same time. A great friend!”

George is extremely well connected in the financial community as well as the investor community, making him a go-to advisor for any Company that needs help in securing growth capital or in seeking working capital loans. Bravo, George!!”

“While I have not worked with George in his professional capacity as a client, we know one another through Buckhead Business Association. We worked together on a committee to plan the 2009 "A Taste of Buckhead Business EXPO". He provided great input to the committee, is a clear and concise thinker, and is professional in every aspect. These are characteristics of a solid business person and leader.”

The 3 Fixes That Made this Service Business Sellable
On paper, MotiveBase looked like a sellable business. It served blue-chip customers like McDonald’s, Target, and General Mills. It generated millions in revenue. Margins were strong. Yet when founder Ujwal Arkalgud first tested the market, acquirers hesitated.
Not because the business wasn’t attractive. But because it was too dependent on the people who built it.
Acquirers don’t just buy performance. They buy continuity.
Instead of pushing forward with a compromised deal, Ujwal and his co-fou…
How Proving Your TAM Might Double Your Company’s Value
When an acquirer evaluates your business, they’re looking beyond what you’ve built. As successful as your company may be, buyers need to see how much larger it can grow to generate a return on their investment. That’s where Total Addressable Market (TAM) comes in.
TAM is the total revenue opportunity available if you captured 100% of demand for your product or service. If your TAM is small—meaning the market for what you sell is limited—your growth prospects look capped. And if your market look…
Should I Hire a Coach When Business is Down?
In slow times, it might seem inappropriate to consider increasing expenditures by hiring a coach.
When business is down and revenue is shrinking, many business owners instinctively look to cut expenses. (This is often a wise decision – I’ve often advised my clients to do exactly that!)
But is coaching truly an expense, or is it an investment?
There’s a fundamental difference between expenses and investments.
Expenses are things like office supplies, software subscriptions, or catered lunches…
