Value Generation in Scale 💰
An investment in high value and scale. 💰🚀
Technology has ceased to be a competitive advantage and has become a survival factor in today’s market. In a landscape where agility, efficiency, and innovation are the order of the day, companies that strategically invest in technological solutions reap exponential results.

Outdated Traditional Businesses vs. Digital Solutions with Tech Operations
Why investing in customized software is smarter than starting a traditional business.
On platforms like BuyCo, it’s easy to find traditional businesses for sale: physical stores, beauty salons, bars, restaurants—many with heavy structures, high fixed costs, low innovation, and limited returns. The price? Between €150.000,00 and € 2 million.
Now, compare this with the possibility of investing a fraction of that amount in a customized digital solution, offering high return potential, scalability, and low operational costs. With € 10.000,00 to € 50.000,00 you can launch a tailor-made digital product with returns in just a few months.
The Traditional Model: High Investment, Low Innovation Some real examples:
Women’s clothing store — € 149.500,00
Bar and restaurant — € 290.000,00
Home appliance store — € 780.000,00
Craft bar in Belo Horizonte — € 2.069.500,00
These models usually come with:
Idle inventory
Dependence on physical space
High fixed costs
High labor and tax risk
Geographic limitations and difficulty scaling
In practice, you acquire structure, but not innovation, low cost, or scalability.
This is only possible with Tech Operations!
