Exit Readiness Check

Are you ready to sell? Find out in two minutes.

Most owners considering a sale have a feeling about where they stand, and most are partly right. You’re further along in some areas than you think, and further behind in others. The trouble is that the gaps you can’t see are the ones that cost you in diligence.

Our Exit Readiness Check turns that feeling into a clear picture. Answer a short set of questions and you’ll get a readiness score and a view of where the work is, so the runway before a transaction goes to the right things instead of guesswork.

It takes a few minutes, and there’s no obligation. The point is to find out whether you’re closer to market than you think, or further than you’d like, while you still have time to act on the answer.

What it measures

The Check scores you across the three questions that decide every transaction.

Are you ready. The personal side of a sale. What you want from the transaction, what comes after, and whether the timing fits your goals and your life. This is the question owners skip, and the one that drives the most regret.

Is the market ready. Where your business sits in the current market, what buyers in your sector are paying for, and what they’re discounting. This tells you whether to move now or build value first.

Is the business ready. The part that takes the most work. The state of your books, the credibility of your model, customer concentration, margin and cash conversion, and how well the business would hold up under a buyer’s diligence.

How it works

Answer ten questions. It’s a self-check, not a financial audit, and you can complete it in one sitting.

Enter your email to see your score. We send your readiness score and a short read on where your strongest and weakest areas are.

Decide what’s next. If the score surfaces gaps worth closing, someone from our team will reach out to talk through them. No pressure, and no commitment to a process you’re not ready for.

What you get

A readiness score across the three dimensions, the specific areas most likely to come up in diligence, and a sense of how much runway you’d want before going to market. It’s enough to tell you whether the next conversation is about selling soon or about building value first. For a deeper read, our advisor-led Exit Readiness Assessment scores every dimension in detail. The Check is the fastest way to find out if that conversation is worth having.

Take the Exit Readiness Check

Why it's worth a few minutes

The owners who get full value start preparing a year or more before the deal, not the month before. The Check is the easiest way to start. It costs you nothing, it tells you where you stand, and it turns a someday decision into a plan you can actually work.

If you’d rather talk it through with a person, we’re glad to do that instead. We’ve sat in your seat, on both sides of the table. Now we’re in your corner.

  • Does any single customer account for more than 10% of your revenue?*
