Premium Operational Consulting · New England
Most successful trades and small businesses are built around one person. That's a liability, whether you're trying to take a real vacation, bring on the next generation, or eventually sell. Buyers discount founder-dependent businesses. Successors inherit chaos.
Brokers know it. Your CPA knows it.
Now there's a firm that fixes it.
Turnkey Operations works with established business owners in New England to remove founder dependency, document what makes the business work, and build systems that hold up over time. The result is a business that runs cleaner, scales easier, and is ready for whatever comes next, growth, succession, or an eventual sale.
Identify where the business lives in your head and build systems that don't require you.
Capture the institutional knowledge, processes, and relationships that make your business valuable.
Create the operational infrastructure that supports growth, succession, or a future sale, whichever comes first.
From a focused diagnostic to a full operational transformation, structured around where you are and where you're going.
A focused operational interview and written findings report. Know exactly where your business stands and what's at risk before you go to market.
Ongoing operational consulting. Efficiency improvements, process documentation, and accountability without a full engagement commitment.
Deep-dive founder dependency removal. We build the systems, document the processes, and create the operational infrastructure that makes your business transferable and sale-ready.
Aaron has spent his career inside operations, from Merrill Lynch and nine years running his own consulting practice to operational work with Maine SBDC.
He started Turnkey Operations because he kept seeing the same problem: great businesses stuck because everything lived in the founder's head.
Turnkey Operations exists to fix that, before it costs you your weekends, your growth, or your closing table.
