Readiness Score

A simple, structured way to understand where you are in your journey — whether you’re exploring a future sale or considering buying a business.

A Clear, Calm Way to Understand Your Readiness

The Readiness Score is a simple, structured assessment designed to help you understand where you are in your journey — whether you’re exploring a future sale or considering buying a business. It’s not a test, and it’s not a judgment. It’s a way to bring clarity to your thinking, highlight what’s already strong, and identify the areas that may need more attention before moving forward.

You’ll answer five short questions. Your score will place you in one of four stages — from early exploration to transaction‑ready — with clear next steps and resources tailored to your situation.

This is a calm starting point, not a commitment. Just a clearer picture of where you stand today.

How the Readiness Score Works

The score places you into one of four stages. Each stage reflects where you are today — not where you could be with the right preparation and support.

  • Early Exploration (5–10): You’re just beginning to think about buying or selling. Clarity and orientation are the priority.
  • Building Readiness (11–17): You have some structure, but there are gaps to address before moving forward.
  • Market‑Ready (18–22): You’re aligned with what the process requires and prepared for deeper conversations.
  • Transaction‑Ready (23–25): You’re ready for advanced discussions, diligence, and negotiation.

Your Readiness Assessment

Step 1: Who are you?


Wherever your score lands, consider it a snapshot — a clear view of where you are today, not a measure of where you could be with the right preparation and support. If you’d like to talk through your results or explore what your next steps might look like, I’m here for a calm, confidential conversation whenever you’re ready.
