“Most advisors will tell you what your business could be worth. Few will hand you the structured pathway to capture it. Fewer still are willing to put their own skin in the game to walk it with you.”
Anthony Edwards · Founder, Boardroom HQ

The wider practice

One operator. Three lenses on business value.

Boardroom HQ sits alongside two sister businesses — Exitwise (premium sell-side broking for $5–20M Australian businesses) and Balfene (bespoke corporate-finance advisory). Same operator, same buy-side discipline, different stages of the journey.

Productised intelligence

The Value Map + live dashboard

For SMB owners who want corporate-finance thinking without the corporate-finance price tag.

A 5-day buy-side review that translates every gap in your business into a dollar impact on enterprise value, followed by a live monthly dashboard that tracks the plan and connects every metric back to the value goal.

  • Value Map — fixed-fee diagnostic
  • BI + Value Management — monthly platform

The Value Map

Your business, examined the way a sophisticated acquirer would.

A senior corporate-finance operator works through the levers that determine what a buyer would actually pay — earnings quality, owner dependence, customer mix, recurring revenue, margin durability, growth runway, systems maturity, team productivity. No scorecard. No framework licence. Just the analysis, costed in dollars of enterprise value.

  • Built on your live financial + operating data
  • Every finding translated into dollars of enterprise value
  • Ranked by what moves the multiple fastest

The operator

Institutional-grade thinking, brought to SMBs.

Anthony Edwards started his career in real estate — funds management and private equity — with direct involvement in more than $1.5 billion of transactions across both buy-side and sell-side mandates. It remains a sector he's deeply passionate about — and the problem-solving discipline learned there (intrinsic valuation, capital-stack literacy, deal-side rigour) became the lens he wanted to apply across the broader SMB market.

Boardroom HQ sits alongside Exitwise and Balfene. One operator, three distinct kinds of work: bespoke advisory (Balfene), SMB intelligence for growth (Boardroom HQ), transactions (Exitwise).
