Know where you are. Know what to fix. Know when you're ready

Most business owners have a number in their head. A rough sense of what their company is worth, how much longer they want to run it, and what life after ownership might look like. Most of the time, that number is wrong, and the timeline is shorter than they think.

Our assessments give you an honest starting point. Not a sales pitch. A real picture of where your business stands, where it's vulnerable, and what you can do about it, whether you're years from an exit or thinking about it now.

Where does your business stand? 

The Value Builder Score evaluates your company across the eight drivers that determine how acquirers think about your business: not just revenue and profit, but how dependent it is on you, your revenue quality, how differentiated you are from competitors, and how transferable the business would be to a new owner.

Most owners are surprised by what they find. Some businesses are worth more than the owner expected. Many are worth less,  not because the business is bad, but because it has blind spots that are costing real dollars.

What you'll learn:

• Your score across eight core value drivers
• Where your business is strong and where it's at risk
• A personalized starting point for building a more valuable, more transferable company

After analyzing over 90,000 businesses, this framework has found that companies scoring in the top tier receive acquisition offers averaging 7.1x higher than the typical business. The gap between an average business and a great one is almost always fixable when you know where to start.

Your business might be ready. Are you?

A great exit requires two things to be true at the same time: the business has to be transferable, and the owner has to be ready to let go. Most exit planning focuses only on the first. The second is where most transitions quietly fail.

The Personal Readiness Assessment examines four dimensions of exit readiness that go beyond the financials:  your identity, your relationships, your sense of purpose, and your financial picture after the business. It takes about eight minutes and surfaces things most owners haven't said out loud yet.

What you'll learn:

• Where you're genuinely ready and where there's work to do
• Which of the four readiness dimensions poses the most risk to a successful transition
• A personalized set of recommendations to close the gap before it becomes a problem

There's no right or wrong score. There's only what's true, and what to do next.

If you're focused on growing, increasing enterprise value, or thinking about acquisition,  start with the Business Value Assessment.

If you're closer to a transition and wondering whether you're personally ready, start with the Personal Readiness Assessment.

If you want to talk through what the results mean for your specific situation, that's what the strategy session is for.
