KEVIN OLDHAM
I help business owners build companies with real value, not just income. After watching my mom's skateboard shop close with nothing to show for years of work, I made it my mission to help entrepreneurs avoid the same fate.
As CEO and Chief Value Accelerator of Diffactory, I guide owners to transform their businesses from founder-dependent operations into transferable, valuable assets.
With over 30 years of experience, including roles at AMC Theatres, United Country Real Estate, and United Real Estate, I've developed a proven methodology for identifying and closing value gaps.
As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), I specialize in helping businesses worth $1M to $50M implement strategies that increase value by 2-10X. My approach focuses on building strong human, structural, customer, and social capital.
I love creating companies buyers fight to own one day.
Exit planning isn't something you do "someday;" it's a good business strategy today.
My straightforward methods have helped hundreds of business owners transform their businesses from merely successful to genuinely significant.
Specialties:
- Exit Strategy + Planning
- Value Acceleration
- AI and Automation Adoption and Integration
- Marketing Strategy + Consulting
- Managed Marketing Service Implementation
- Franchise System Development and Scaling
- Recurring Revenue / Membership Business Models.
