How Ready Is Your Business for a Successful Exit?
If you decided to exit your business in the next 12–36 months, would it command strong interest and premium value — or would hidden risks reduce your outcome?
The Exit Readiness Score is the first step in understanding how your business will be evaluated — measuring the factors that influence enterprise value, transferability, and transaction success.
10 minute assessment
Built on the Exit Planning Institute’s (EPI) Value Acceleration Methodology™
Evaluates the same drivers buyers underwrite during diligence
Designed for owners of businesses with $5M–$50M in revenue
Two Questions Every Owner Should Be Able to Answer
If a buyer approached you tomorrow:
Would your business withstand diligence without surprises?
Would buyers view it as highly attractive — or identify risks that reduce value?
Many owners assume they are prepared. In reality, buyers often uncover issues such as:
Owner dependency
Customer concentration
Inconsistent financials
Undocumented processes
Limited leadership depth
These issues rarely surface until diligence begins — when leverage has already shifted.
Why Exit Readiness Matters
·Most owners wait to prepare until they are ready to sell. By then, options are limited and outcomes are harder to control. The difference between a successful exit and a compromised outcome is rarely timing — it’s preparation.
The Exit Readiness Score helps you understand where you stand — before the market does.
What the Exit Readiness Score Evaluates
The assessment evaluates your business across the key drivers that influence enterprise value, buyer confidence, and transferability.
Leadership & Human Capital
Can the business operate effectively without you?
Revenue Quality & Customer Base
How predictable and diversified is your revenue?
Operations & Systems
Are your processes scalable, documented, and repeatable?
Exit & Diligence Readiness
Are you prepared for the level of scrutiny buyers will apply?
Market Position & Growth Profile
Is your business positioned for sustainable growth — or vulnerable to disruption?
Financial Quality & Visibility
Do your financials clearly reflect true performance and withstand scrutiny?
Your score reflects how a buyer is likely to evaluate your business — before you ever go to market.
