CoreValue® Informational Brochure
We quantify intangibles. We create software that quantifies the intangible assets hidden within a business–– assets that can increase a company’s value by millions––and which a business owner can then use when transferring ownership, raising capital, or building for the future. Spreadsheets lie (or at least they don’t tell the whole truth) We know your company’s true value. We’ll back you up. Let’s face it. Spreadsheets look backwards. They paint a picture of what happened. But they are rarely helpful when it comes time to measure the real value of a company looking forward. They cannot, for instance, put a value on vital, but intangible aspects such as a company’s market share, its brand, its ingenuity, its goodwill, or contracts with customers and vendors. Now, however, CoreValue® Software can uncover millions of dollars of hidden value. How? Using sophisticated algorithms first developed at MIT, we are able to quantify intangibles. That means we can turn your ability to outmaneuver your competition, your long lease in a great location, your intellectual property––all the intangible parts of your business––into real value you can bank on. Better still, the whole process takes about 90 minutes. You simply have to log onto your computer and answer a few questions. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved.

The main questions relate to 18 core value drivers which are the keys to a successful company. We’ll ask you about your brand, your company’s ability to differentiate products in the market place, your customer satisfaction, your margin advantage. The end result? In just 90 minutes, you’ll hold in your hands actionable reports you can use to show potential buyers, investors, or financial advisors the real value of your company. More often than not, that means adding millions of dollars of value that has been lying dormant all along. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. CoreValue Software is patent pending. Software 30 Years in the Making Long before the internet, the founder of CoreValue® Software, Chuck Richards, set off on a mission to solve a problem. Why did 80-90% of private businesses fail after they transferred ownership, causing countless employees to lose their jobs, not to mention the towns and cities who lost their vital employers? Chuck watched it happen while growing up in the small town of Springfield, Vermont, and he wanted to know why. While doing graduate work at MIT, Chuck began to look at business as an engine–– analyzing how the parts work together to generate outputs (revenue and profit). Then he cast his lens on the problem of business transfer, examining whether transfer failure rates could be improved at a macro-level with economic policy, government assistance, or tax policy. His conclusion? It had to be handled on a micro level -- fixing one business at a time. At that moment, CoreValue was born. Chuck Richards Founder & CEO © 2012, CoreValue Software.

If you think of business as an engine, and that financial valuations measure the outputs––the revenue and profit––CoreValue® quantifies the ‘gears’ inside the engine, and the ability of those gears to work together to drive future revenue and profit at/or above its current rate. CoreValue® Rating As you answer questions about your company, CoreValue quantifies the durability, sustainability, and efficiency of your business engine. Your CoreValue Rating is scored on a scale from 0-100. The higher your score, the greater probability that your business will be able to generate future revenue and profit at or above its current rate. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. Patent pending. How CoreValue® Works: Step 1: From any computer, laptop, or tablet, you can access your CoreValue account. After providing some basic information about your company, we walk you through 18 questions to get started, one question for each of the 18 drivers, then dive a bit deeper into each. Typically, this takes less than 90 minutes Step 2: After you complete level 2 of the workbook, you can review all your reports, tackle your task list, dive deeper into the workbook (level 3), or start entering valuable company data in your company’s Vault. We store everything for you, safely and securely. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. Patent pending. CoreValue® can help you identify and fix problems. Think of CoreValue as a ‘body scan’ for your business, identifying weaknesses and quantifying the value of shoring up those weaknesses. CoreValue can even suggest specific tasks for you to work on, and will identify which tasks give you ‘the biggest bang for your buck’. There’s nothing like watching the value of your business grow. It’s that simple. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. CoreValue Software is patent pending CEO’s Dead Reckoning For most of human history, sailors used the stars to gauge their latitude -- north to south -- but lacked the ability to know where they were east to west, as soon as they lost sight of land. Dead reckoning was an accurate term, because if your reckoning was off, you might end up dead. The problem was instantly solved when John Harrison came up with an invention which could measure longitude. And from then on, sailors could safely navigate and explore the world. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. Patent pending. CoreValue® is solving a centuries old business problem. For hundreds of years, businesses have relied almost solely on double entry bookkeeping to navigate. CEO’s have known looking backwards through the lens of finance to move forward was as risky as dead reckoning. To successfully navigate forward, the CEO must also measure the ability to reliably produce future results. CoreValue provides that forward-looking measure. CEO’s who know both their CoreValue and their financials can more safely navigate their companies to future success and through transitions of ownership. Enjoy building your business again. You know building a truly valuable business takes time and hard work. While there are no shortcuts, CoreValue® Software can help. That’s because we give you the language to communicate to your senior managers, board of directors, bank, investors, or advisors all the intangible aspects of your business and how well they are functioning. Alignment around objectives and priorities is much simpler and effective with the CoreValue framework and quantifiable measures. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. Patent pending Strengthening communities, one business at a time. Fact. Most private businesses can’t sell or transfer. And the ones that can, have a failure rate near 90%. A larger concern is that the majority of our private businesses today––over 7 million in the US and Canada––are owned by baby boomers nearing retirement. These businesses make up over 50% of our job base. Here’s the good news. We can help fix the problem. Today, our mission is to help private business owners transfer their company successfully to the next generation of owners, so employees, industries, and communities can continue to thrive. By providing greater transparency into the operations of a business––its strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities to improve––a business can be sold or transferred more easily and successfully. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. Patent pending. Need to sell? Transfer ownership? CoreValue® will back you. CoreValue® Software quantifies the enterprise value of your company by combining up-to-date industry transaction data, your CoreValue® Rating, and financial performance. The CoreValue algorithms, based on years of academic and in-market research, will not only estimate your enterprise value, but will identify your potential value and the drivers holding it back. Don’t let anyone say your business has no value. Now you can show them proof it does -- and why. © 2012, CoreValue Software. All rights reserved. CoreValue Software is patent pending.
