Support that removes owner dependency.
For advisors preparing businesses for sale.
Why this matters before an exit
Two of the five gaps you work through are the two we remove for a living.
In most lower middle market businesses the founder is still answering customer emails at night, or a single long-tenured employee holds every customer relationship in their head. Both read as key-person risk in diligence. We replace that with a dedicated specialist plus a documented system, so customer operations keep running when the owner steps back.
Our specialists write the playbook as they learn it: help docs, canned replies, escalation paths, inbox workflows. The next specialist onboards from that document rather than from the owner. By the time a buyer asks “what happens if this person leaves”, the answer already exists in writing.
The by-products matter too. Faster response times protect revenue retention. A managed support function turns an unpredictable cost into a fixed line item. And a support team that survives a transaction is one less thing a buyer discounts for.
Proof that survives diligence
98.9% CSAT held while ticket volume grew 6x. The company was acquired in 2026 and the xFusion team stayed on through the transition.
Average reply time cut 84.79%. The founder got his mornings back.
Grew from one specialist to an 11-person team across support, AI content, and data work.
Raised a $60M Series B in 2026 with customer support running on xFusion.
Who to send our way
Owners who tell you any of the following:
- “I still answer support myself” or “my assistant handles it, and she knows everything”
- Support runs on one person with no documentation and no cover
- Response times slip when the team is busy, and churn quietly follows
- The business is scaling into new channels (Shopify, Amazon, a second product) faster than the support function can follow
- Headcount is needed, but a US hire at $6,600 to $8,300 a month fully loaded is not the right answer
Commercials, so you can answer questions without calling us
$2,900 per specialist per month, all inclusive. No setup fee, no long-term contract, month to month. Candidate shortlist in about 14 days, with recorded interviews so the owner can judge English and presence before meeting anyone. The first 30 days are risk free: if the owner is not satisfied, they pay nothing. Every placement starts in draft mode, where the client approves every customer reply until the brand voice is right.
Working together
We look after partners who send us owners we can genuinely help, and we would rather agree terms with you directly than publish a formula. If an introduction is not a fit, we will tell the owner on the first call and say so to you.
