Helping Searchers Succeed & Lenders Sleep Better

Most searchers underestimate how challenging the first 12–18 months of ownership can be. Operational chaos, leadership turnover, cultural resistance, and missed financial targets can quickly put a deal at risk. That’s where Wise Scale comes in. I’m Corey Robinson—a multiple-time successful searcher who has completed 11 small business acquisitions across multiple industries. I’ve lived the challenges of the J-curve, built leadership teams from scratch, and turned underperforming businesses into scalable, profitable operations. Over the last several years, I’ve also helped other searchers buy and stabilize their businesses, guiding them through both the acquisition process and the crucial first year of ownership. Our niche: We are operators first—entrepreneurs and executives who have acquired, scaled, and exited our own companies. We step in as Fractional COOs / Integrators post-close to stabilize the business, implement proven systems, and create clarity for leadership teams. Our focus: Post-acquisition stabilization – smoothing the J-curve and avoiding early mistakes. Process and system installation – EOS, Predictable Revenue, tech stack optimization, AI/automation. Financial visibility – KPI tracking, cash flow forecasting, and accountability rhythms. Leadership development – ensuring the team aligns with the new owner’s vision. For Searchers: We bridge the gap between theory and execution. You bought the business—now we help you run it like you’ve been there for years. For Lenders: We act as a strategic safeguard, protecting your investment by de-risking operations and ensuring the business can hit debt service and growth targets. When operators who’ve “been there” partner with capital providers, deals not only survive—they thrive. 📩 Let’s talk: redacted
