Part 1 of 5 Owner dependence How much of the business runs through you.

If you stepped away for 30 days with no phone, what would happen?

Who runs day-to-day operations?

How much of how the business works is written down?

How it is scored

Four areas, one number.

Each question is worth up to three points. The total is scaled to 100. The four areas are weighted equally because a weakness in any one of them can stall a sale.

01

Owner dependence

Can the business run for a month without you? Who makes the decisions? Is the way it works written down anywhere?

02

Financial clarity

Are the books current, do you know your true profit, and could a buyer verify it without untangling your personal life from the P&L?

03

Transferable value

How much revenue repeats on its own, how concentrated it is, and whether the customers belong to the business or to you.

04

Exit plan

Whether you know what the business is worth, what you need from it, how a sale would be taxed and when you want to step back.

Score bands

0 to 35: The business is you. 36 to 60: Foundation stage. 61 to 80: Nearly ready. 81 to 100: Exit ready.
