The Exit Readiness Assessment

What is this business actually worth, and how far is that from what you believe or need?

A paid, self-serve diagnostic for owners of businesses with 2–50 people. Answers three questions: the value your business would sell for today, why it's worth that, and the distance between that number and the one in your head.

How it works

Two stages, thirty minutes

The gate is short. It captures two numbers and five questions and gives you a preliminary read on screen. Stage 2 goes deeper into your financials and the remaining thirty-five questions.

1

The gate

Identity, two belief numbers, five behavioural questions. Ten minutes. Result: a first read of your industry range and readiness tier.

2

The full assessment

Financials (estimates are fine) and thirty-five more questions across five domains. Twenty minutes.

The spine

Three numbers. Two gaps.

Every exit-readiness conversation lands on the same three numbers. Most never get them onto the same page.

1 · Believe

What you think it's worth.

Asked at the gate, before any financials. Gut number. No wrong answer, that's the point.

2 · Need

What you need to walk away with.

The number that decides whether you can afford to exit. The distance from this to the number below is the one that matters.

3 · Worth

What the answers say.

Computed from your financials and your readiness score. Rendered as a range, not a point. Every number in the report is defensible.

What it measures

Five domains, buyer-weighted

Each one changes what a buyer will pay. Each one is scorable from the outside.

01

Financial Quality

Recurring revenue, concentration, margin trend, books hygiene.

02

Transferability

Whether the business runs without you. The number-one discount lever.

03

Growth & Market

Trajectory, moat, channel diversification, retention.

04

Operations & Systems

Documented process, quality controls, information locus.

05

Deal Readiness

Contracts, licenses, entanglement. Where transactions actually die.

What the full report covers

Nine sections, one read

01

Cover · the three numbers

Believe, worth (as a range), need. Tier name. One-line verdict. Works as a screenshot.

02

The two gaps

The belief gap and the wealth gap, each explained in plain language and put into money.

03

How your number is built

SDE construction shown as a table. Your industry multiple range. Where your score placed you in it, and why.

04

Readiness score

Overall 0–120, tier, five domain bars, what each domain means to a buyer.

05

The Discount Ledger

Findings named individually until the dollar total accounts for roughly three-quarters of the gap, capped at fifteen rows. The remainder is grouped by title so nothing goes unnamed. The rendered column sums exactly to the current-to-potential gap. The page that justifies the price.

06

What holds your value up

Your strengths, the answers that raised your multiple, and the “document this” note for each.

07

The sequence out

Findings reordered by dollar impact per unit of effort. Grouped into Now / Next 90 days / This year.

08

Timeline & the as-is scenario

Time-to-ready estimate by tier, and what selling today actually looks like versus selling after the sequence.

09

Honest close

The appraiser disclaimer, kept prominent on purpose. No urgency mechanics.

Cost

Two paths to the same read

Path A · appraiser / broker call

A senior operator, on the phone.

Asks the same questions in different words, takes a week or two to come back with a similar number.
