How Exit-Ready Is Your Business?
Get your free score in 5 minutes. No booking, and no sales call unless you want one.
Most business owners have a rough sense of whether they are ready to sell.
But rough senses rarely hold up when a buyer starts asking serious questions.
The Exit Readiness Score gives you a structured, honest assessment of your business across the six areas that matter most to buyers – in under five minutes. No booking required. No sales call unless you want one. Just a clear, personalised picture of where you stand.
What Your Score Covers
Your score is calculated across the eight areas that matter most to buyers, each rated Red, Amber, or Green:
Owner Dependence
How much the business relies on you personally, and the risk a buyer sees in taking it on without you.
Documented Systems
Whether your key processes are written down and can run without specific individuals in place.
Revenue Predictability
How recurring and reliable your income is, a major driver of the multiple a buyer will pay.
Revenue Concentration
How evenly revenue is spread across customers, and the risk if a handful of clients dominate.
Management Team
Whether you have a team that can run the business without you, and how a buyer would rate them.
Financial Clarity
The quality of your accounts and management information, and how cleanly the numbers stand up to scrutiny.
Growth Strategy
Your competitive position and a credible story for where future growth will come from.
Business Independence
How well the business stands on its own, free of reliance on any single person, supplier, or relationship.
Who Is This For?
- Business owners considering an exit in the next one to five years who want to understand their current position.
- Owners who have been approached by a potential buyer and want to know where they stand before responding.
- Owners who feel ready to sell but want an objective view before committing to a process.
- Owners who want to identify what will make the biggest difference to their eventual exit value.
What Happens After You Complete It
You will receive an immediate summary score on screen. Your full breakdown report – with a rating and specific guidance for each of the six areas – is emailed to you within minutes.

What Your Score Means
Below 40 – Significant Preparation Needed
Your business has real strengths, but there are areas that would give a buyer pause – and likely suppress your sale price. The good news is that with structured preparation, these are addressable. The sooner you start, the more value you can create before going to market.
40 – 70 – Good Foundation, Room to Grow
You are in a reasonable position, but targeted improvements in your weaker areas could meaningfully increase what a buyer would pay. A structured exit plan covering the next 12 to 24 months will make a significant difference to your outcome.
Above 70 – Strong Position
Your business is in good shape. Refining the details and making sure your story is well presented to the right buyers will maximise your outcome. This is the time to think carefully about timing, process, and which advisers to appoint.
