About Cole Corrigan
He's Sat Across the Table from 750 Business Owners.
He Knows What the Numbers Are Hiding.
Cole Corrigan isn't a theorist. He's a practitioner, someone who has spent seven years inside the financial reality of privately held businesses, helping owners understand what their numbers actually mean and what it takes to win.
The Story
It Started with a Simple Observation
Most business owners are smart, hardworking, and genuinely good at what they do. They build real companies, employ real people, and generate real revenue. But somewhere between the work and the bank account, something gets lost.
Cole saw this pattern repeat across hundreds of business owners who were busy, growing, even profitable on paper, but still stressed about cash, still working too hard for too little return, still unsure whether the business was actually working for them or the other way around.
The problem, almost every time, wasn't effort. It was clarity. Owners didn't know their real break-even numbers. They didn't understand where margin was leaking. They couldn't see the gap between what the business was producing and what it needed to produce for ownership to actually win.
That's the gap Cole has spent his career closing. Not with theory with direct, honest analysis of real numbers, in real businesses, across real industries.
The Track Record
Seven Years. 750+ Businesses. 20+ Industries.
Cole has worked directly with business owners across construction, trades, trucking, manufacturing, service companies, professional businesses, and distribution, anywhere the work is real, the margins are tight, and the owner is usually the last one to get paid.
The Philosophy
Educate First. Sell Second.
Numbers don't lie but they do hide.
Most financial reports tell you what happened. Cole's work tells you why it happened and what to do about it. The difference is the framework.
Owners deserve to understand their own business.
Too many advisors speak in jargon that keeps owners dependent. Cole's approach is the opposite he teaches the framework so owners can see their business clearly, permanently.
The goal is freedom, not just profit.
Profit is the mechanism. Freedom of time, of stress, of financial pressure is the point. A business that doesn't deliver that isn't working, no matter what the revenue looks like.
The Book
Break Even or Break Down
Cole distilled seven years of direct business analysis into a practical guide for owners who want to understand their numbers without needing an accounting degree. It's the framework he uses in every Business Analysis now available for any owner to apply on their own.
