How Exit-Ready Is Your Business?
Get Your Free Score in 5 Minutes
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 six key areas, each rated Red, Amber, or Green:
📈 Financial Performance
Revenue trends, profitability, clean accounts, and the quality of your management information.
👥 Owner Dependency
How much of the business depends on you personally — and what that means for a buyer’s risk assessment.
💼 Management Team
Whether you have the team in place to run the business without you, and how a buyer would assess them.
🔄 Recurring Revenue
The predictability and quality of your revenue streams — a key driver of valuation multiples.
📄 Process Documentation
Whether your key processes are documented and can operate independently of specific individuals.
🎯 Market Position
Your competitive position, customer concentration, and how a buyer would view your growth story.
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.
No sales call is made unless you request one. Everything you share is treated in strict confidence.
The full results report also includes a short set of prioritised recommendations: the two or three actions most likely to move the needle on your overall score before you go to market.

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.
