Are you actually ready to sell your business or just thinking about it?
This 2-minute M&A Readiness Scorecard shows how buyers will view your business before valuation, diligence, or negotiations begin.
Built for business owners with $1M to $5M in revenue, considering an exit in the next 12- months
Takes 2 minutes • Confidential • No Obligation
Why This Scorecard Exists?
Most Owners Lose Leverage Before They Ever Go To Market.
Most business owners don’t lose value when they sell. They lose it before they ever talk to the buyer.
Deals fall apart (or get discounted) when buyers uncover:
Unpredictable cash flow
Owner dependence
Hidden risks
Poor preparation
This scorecard helps you identify those gaps while you still have options.
This Scorecard is for Serious Business Owners
This is for you if:
Your business generates $1M to $5M in annual revenue.
You’re considering selling in the next 1 or 3 years.
You want clarity before speaking to brokers or buyers.
You care about valuation, leverage, and deal certainty.
This is not for early-stage businesses, pre-venue companies, or owners who are just browsing
How Buyers Actually Evaluate Businesses
In under 2 minutes, you’ll see how your business stacks up across four critical areas:
Financial Predictability - Can buyers trust the numbers?
Owner Independence - Can the business run without you?
Growth & Risk profile - Is upside believable or risky?
Deal readiness - Will this deal close smoothly?
What You’ll Walk Away With
Your M&A readiness score.
Insights into what buyers will push back on.
Clarity on whether to sell now, optimize first, or wait strategically.
Clear next-step recommendations (not a sales pitch).
You’re Not Hiring Hype.
You’re a Buyer Framework.
You shouldn’t trust an advisor because of bold promises or polished testimonials.
You should trust the process—especially when it mirrors how buyers think.
Buyers don’t care who your advisor is.
They care whether your business is ready.
This approach is grounded in real buyer diligence standards, not opinions.
Clarity Is the First Step. Leverage Is the Goal.
The scorecard shows where you stand today.
Most owners fall into one of three paths:
Ready to go to market.
Sellable, but leaking value.
Not ready yet, and better served by preparation.
