How much decision-making, relationship management and institutional knowledge still depends on the owner?
02
Systems & Reporting
Are leads, customers and performance tracked in organized systems that leadership can see without asking?
03
Transfer Readiness
Could a future leader, advisor or prospective buyer efficiently understand the company’s operations?

Readiness stages
Stage 1: Owner Dependent
Most important information, relationships and decisions remain concentrated with the owner.
Stage 2: Partially Structured
Some systems are in place, but key areas remain informal or difficult to measure.
Stage 3: Operationally Visible
The company has stronger systems and reporting, but still requires documentation and delegation improvements.
Stage 4: Transfer Prepared
Core systems, responsibilities, documentation and reporting are organized and understandable.

Confidential by default
We treat discussions about ownership dependence, succession and potential transitions as confidential. NDAs are available before detailed operational information is shared.
The Exit Readiness Score is intended for operational planning and educational purposes. It is not a business valuation, fairness opinion, legal assessment, accounting review or indication that a company will successfully complete a future transaction.
