profitability quickly The initial target should be reaching the October 2026 break-even date, requiring approximately $43,158 in monthly revenue based on a 71% operating contribution margin Current projections show a first-year (2026) EBITDA loss of $117,000, but rapid growth pushes EBITDA to $127,000 in 2027 and over $44 million by 2030 To achieve this, founders must immediately reduce the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) from the starting $850 and optimize the service mix for maximum billable hours per client, which averages 155 hours in 2026 This guide outlines seven actions to secure
