The seven factors

Buyers look at seven key factors when they decide what your business is worth. The scorecard checks all seven.

  1. Strong financials: growth, clean books and predictable revenue.
  2. Owner independence: whether the business can run without you.
  3. Customer and supplier concentration: how much you rely on a few customers or suppliers.
  4. Systems and processes: how well the way you work is documented.
  5. Intangible assets: your reputation and your brand.
  6. Sales engine: whether new customers keep coming without you.
  7. Owning a niche: how clearly you stand apart from competitors.

An exit ready business gives you options. You can sell when the time is right, on your terms, or simply enjoy running a business that doesn't depend on you.

About Scott

Hi, I'm Scott Davison. I'm a former COO and one of only about 20 Certified Exit Planning Advisors (CEPAs) in Australia. I've managed multiple successful exits, and I built this scorecard to help owners see where their business stands.

Questions owners ask

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation. If you'd like to talk through your results, you can book a free call, but there's no pressure.

Who sees my answers?

Only me. Your answers are confidential and I won't share them.

Do I need my financial figures?

No. Every question can be answered from what you already know about your business.

I'm not planning to sell for years. Is it still worth doing?

Yes. The earlier you know where the gaps are, the more time you have to close them. And an exit ready business is a better business to own in the meantime.
