How it works

Five steps, and nothing you have to buy

This is a readiness assessment, not a listing service. It is the starting point for deciding what should happen next with the business — keeping it, improving it, stepping back, succession, a partner, or a transition. Nobody calls you unless you ask us to.

  1. 01

    Answer the questions

    Short sections covering your business profile, owner independence, financial readiness, owner dependency, customers and revenue, management and people, systems, operational readiness, and succession and owner options. One question at a time, about 5–7 minutes. No email or phone required to start.

  2. 02

    See your preliminary score

    You get your Sellability Readiness Score out of 100 and your overall position right away — before we ask for anything.

  3. 03

    Get the full report

    Give a first name and email and the complete report opens immediately: eight category scores, your top three strengths, your top three risks, five recommended actions, and an improvement timeline.

  4. 04

    Work the checklist

    Your free account keeps a personalized checklist built from your own answers — high, medium and lower priority — with why each item matters, a suggested next action, who's responsible, a target date and status.

  5. 05

    Reassess later

    Come back, update your progress and retake the assessment to see whether the things a future owner would question have actually changed.

What gets scored

Owner independence

Management & people

Recurring / transferable revenue

Systems & documentation

Operational readiness

Exit preparation

Owner independence, financial readiness, customer concentration and management carry the most weight, because those are the areas that most often decide whether a company can transfer to someone else. The score is a judgment aid, not a precise measurement.
