Accural Limited

Your business is worth 15-25% less than you think. That's the founder dependency discount applied by every PE firm, trade buyer, and corporate acquirer in the UK. The more indispensable you are, the less your business is worth. We call it the Chaos King paradox. Accural identifies and eliminates the hidden value destroyers that make SMEs unsellable or trigger painful earnouts. We believe that 30% of founder-dependent UK businesses will be unsellable by June 2026. Yours doesn't have to be one of them. We fix two critical problems: The Chaos King Problem: You're the bottleneck. Every decision needs your input. Every client wants you personally. Your business is really just a well-paid job. Result? Massive valuation discount or deal-killing earnout terms. Authority Theatre: Your org chart lies. People have accountability without decision rights. Your FD can't approve a £10K supplier payment but is responsible for cash flow. Result? Due diligence chaos and 2-3 year earnouts whilst buyers verify the business works without you. Our £4K diagnostic identifies exactly where you're destroying value - before it costs you millions at exit. In 2 weeks, we map your dependencies, audit your authority structure, and quantify your valuation discount. Then we show you how to fix it. We're not counting beans. We're not consultants selling 6-month transformations. We're strategic CFOs who've been through exits, seen deals die, and know exactly what buyers punish. For UK SMEs (£2M-£20M+ revenue) who want to build value, not just revenue. Whether you're planning an exit in 6 months or 6 years, the founder dependency discount is already costing you. Every month you wait adds another layer of complexity and reduces your options. The diagnostic pays for itself if we find just £20K of value leakage. We typically find 10x that. Stop being the Chaos King. Start building real value. Book your diagnostic before your competitor does.
