Diagnose How Sellable Your Business Really Is
Move Beyond Growth—Build a Business Buyers Actually Want

Many business owners have built something successful.
They have customers, staff, revenue, reputation, and years of hard work behind them.
But to a buyer, the business may still look too dependent on them.
• They are still involved in too many decisions.
• They are still solving too many problems.
• They are still carrying too much knowledge in their head.
• They still cannot step away without disruption.
That creates a serious issue.
The business may be successful, but to a buyer it may not yet look sellable, or worth what it should be.
This scorecard will help you assess how sellable your business is today, and what a buyer would actually see if they looked at it right now.

How You’ll Be Scored: The Five Pillars of Sellability

Owner Dependence
Measures how much the business relies on you personally, and what would happen if you stepped away.

Financial Strength
Assesses how clean, stable, and buyer-ready your financials really are.

Revenue Quality
Evaluates how predictable and resilient your revenue really is, not just how big it looks.

Operational Transferability
Looks at whether someone else could step in and run this business without you explaining everything first.

Exit Readiness
Measures how prepared the business — and you — actually are for a sale, and whether a buyer would want it.
