Answer 36 questions and receive a personalised report showing exactly where you stand across all six areas, with specific, actionable steps to close the gaps

Objectives

Personal clarity on what you want from an exit: your life goals after the business, the exit route that suits your situation, how much is enough, your non-negotiables around legacy and deal structure, and how dependent the business is on you day-to-day.

Value

How well you understand the factors that influence business value, valuation methods and the impact of different forms of consideration and deal structures. Your current ability to evidence financial and strategic value drivers.

Enhance

The operational and governance foundations buyers interrogate closely, whether existing processes enable scale or erode buyer confidence and value.

Fund

Your understanding of growth funding options as a value creation driver and how knowledge of different forms of funding impact on readiness.

Engage

How prepared you are to run a buyer process on your terms. Your approach with prospective buyers, and level of confidence in appraising relevance and fit.

Network

Appraises your access to experienced advisors, effectiveness of current board processes, and the range of perspectives you draw from to make decisions around exit.

**Identify your value gaps, before a buyer does**
