Business Assessment

An operator-led alternative to traditional business assessment consulting — a structured read of your company from people who have run one, not just advised one.

An operator-led alternative to traditional business assessment consulting. We give owners a structured, unbiased read of the business — financial performance, operations, market position, org structure, and risk — so the next 12 months of decisions are made on evidence, not gut.

How Our Business Assessment Consulting Engagement Works

Most business assessment consulting engagements produce a slide deck. Ours produces a decision list. We built this service for owners and operators who feel stuck, who know something is off, or who are staring at a growth ceiling they cannot explain — and who want to work with people who have actually run and sold companies, not just modeled them. A Mebuis business assessment is a fixed-scope engagement. We spend structured time with you and a small number of people you trust across five domains: financial performance, operations and delivery, market and customer position, organizational structure and leadership, and risk. We ask the questions your team is too close to the work to ask. We read the same numbers your accountant reads, but with an operator's eye for the story they tell about how the business actually runs. You get three deliverables and nothing else: a plain-English written read of what is working, what is not, and why; a ranked list of the specific changes we recommend, sequenced by leverage and difficulty; and a working session with George Fassett to walk the list, argue it, and decide what you are actually going to do in the next 90 days. No retainer, no upsell into an implementation contract you did not ask for, no theater. If after the working session you want us to help execute any of it — fractional leadership, pricing model work, a specific operations rebuild — that is a separate conversation on separate terms. The assessment stands on its own.

Financial Performance — Read the Numbers Like an Owner

We review revenue composition, margin structure, cash conversion, and the accounting choices behind them. Not to audit you, but to surface the two or three financial patterns that are quietly shaping every strategic option you have.

Operations and Delivery — Find the Bottleneck That Actually Matters

Every business has one constraint that governs its output. We walk your delivery process end-to-end and name it. Usually it is not the one leadership thinks it is, and fixing the wrong one is the most expensive mistake operating teams make.

Market and Customer Position — Test What You Believe About Your Buyers

We pressure-test your positioning, pricing, and customer concentration against what the market is actually doing. If your best customer is also your biggest risk, or your pricing is leaving margin on the table, you need to know before your next planning cycle, not after.

Organization and Leadership — Look at the Org Chart Honestly

Structure, decision rights, and the specific people in specific seats. We name what is working and what is not — including the conversations owners typically avoid — and we give you a defensible sequence for changing it without breaking the business.

Risk — Name What Could End the Business

Concentration risk, key-person risk, contractual exposure, regulatory drift, cyber posture. We inventory what could actually stop the company and rank each item by likelihood and impact so you can decide what to hedge, insure, or accept.

The Decision List — What You Actually Do Monday

The output is not a report you file. It is a ranked list of specific changes, each with a recommended owner, a rough time and cost estimate, and a clear reason it made the cut. You leave the working session knowing exactly what you are doing in the next 90 days and why.

Who leads the work at Mebuis?

George C. Fassett, Jr. leads every engagement. He founded and built THUMBTECHS, Mebuis, MebuisWorks, and 1908 Builders, has more than 20 years as a CEO, holds a U.S. patent, is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and has an MBA.

How is Mebuis different from a traditional consulting firm?

Mebuis works as operators, not report writers. The people doing the work have run companies with real profit-and-loss responsibility, so recommendations are judged by whether they can be carried out by your team, not by how they look in a slide deck.

Who handles implementation after the plan is set?

Mebuis and MebuisWorks. Mebuis is the consulting, management, strategy, leadership, process, and lean side of the work. MebuisWorks handles technology, architecture, design, implementation, and integration. When the plan calls for outside specialists, we help you find the right industry-specific partners, negotiate the contracts, and manage the implementation so it lands the way it was planned.

What does MebuisWorks do?

MebuisWorks is the technology arm of Mebuis. It handles design, architecture, implementation, systems integration, and AI — from ERP and CRM through to our own Astra AI. MebuisWorks does the implementation. Where the plan needs a software partner instead of a build, Mebuis helps you pick that partner, negotiate the rates, and manage the project through to go-live. All our experience goes onto the project, so it moves quickly.

Where is Mebuis located, and do you work with businesses outside Texas?

Mebuis is based at 1908 Lone Star Rd. Ste B, Mansfield, Texas 76063, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and works with businesses across the United States.
