Exit Readiness Scorecard

Most owners find out what their business is worth when a buyer tells them.

Thirty-two questions across the eight things an acquirer actually prices. You get a written report with a score for each, and the three things worth fixing first. It is the same diagnostic we run before taking a business to market — and it is deliberately harder than a broker's checklist.
