Mike Scaling Roadmap

The Mike Scaling Roadmap is the 15th and final tool in the Mike comparison cluster. It provides a complete 5-stage growth framework for scaling from Mike's 5-client solo ceiling to a 500-client enterprise agency generating $1.2M+ in annual revenue.

Each stage includes specific hiring plans, technology requirements, revenue targets, and exit valuations. The interactive stage selector lets users explore exactly what infrastructure is needed at each growth phase -- from solo operator to exit-ready enterprise.

Mike's DIY approach using DisputeBeast ($49.99/mo) provides dispute letter automation but zero agency infrastructure: no CRM, no team management, no client portals, no payment processing, no compliance monitoring. This creates a hard ceiling at 5-15 clients and a $15K maximum exit value.

CreditAIPro provides all 77 tools free (including this roadmap). Combined with Credit Repair Cloud for CRM infrastructure ($97/mo), this creates a complete agency scaling stack capable of reaching 500+ clients and $5M+ exit valuations.

Methodology

• Revenue projections based on $200/client industry average
• Exit multiples use 4.2x industry median (SDE-based)
• Hiring plans derived from agency operator interviews
• Tech stack requirements from 100+ agency audits
• Timeline estimates assume AI-assisted scaling
