Exit Readiness Assessment
Am I Ready to Sell My Business?
Most business owners leave money on the table when they sell. Understand what buyers are looking for, identify gaps in your readiness, and build a roadmap to maximize your exit value.
Sample Exit Readiness Score
Good Foundation
Some improvements needed before exit
70% of businesses listed for sale never close a deal
The most common reasons? Owners overestimate value, lack proper documentation, or discover critical issues during due diligence that kill the deal.
Exit planning isn't just about finding a buyer. It's about building a business that buyers actually want to buy.
The average exit planning timeline is 2-5 years.
Starting early gives you time to fix problems, grow value, and exit on your terms.
What Buyers Actually Look For
Our exit readiness assessment evaluates your business across the key factors that determine whether buyers will pursue your business—and how much they'll pay.
Financial Performance
Strong revenue growth, healthy margins, and clean financials that give buyers confidence.
Owner Independence
Can your business run without you? Buyers pay more for businesses that aren't dependent on the owner.
Customer Diversification
Reduce risk by ensuring no single customer represents too much of your revenue.
Recurring Revenue
Predictable income streams are highly valued by acquirers seeking stability.
Documentation & Systems
Well-documented processes and organized records speed up due diligence and build trust.
Team & Talent
A capable management team that can operate post-transition adds significant value.
