A self-assessment for owners who want the business to run without them
No deadline and no transaction. Just whether you could go away for a month.
You can tell how much of a business still runs through its owner by what follows them on holiday: the calls, the approvals, the numbers nobody else can produce.
Stepping back is the easy part. Stepping out is when none of that follows you, and a month away is a month away.
The assessment reads the business as somebody standing in for you would, and shows you the parts that would still call you back.

Both take the same 31 questions and the same 45 minutes to an hour.
Every owner answers the same 31 questions. Coming in this way, the report reads your answers as somebody standing in for you would, and each of these seven comes back with a reading. These are the readings you want, word for word as the report puts them.
The business runs without you, and it's evident.
Most of how the business works is written down, not carried in your head.
What makes the business work would survive you stepping out of it.
Somebody who is not you could check your figures in a week.
Most of next year's income is already secure, whoever is here to service it.
Growth doesn't depend on you, and the trend backs it.
You can show what the business earns, and that it will last.
31 questions about how the business actually runs, plus five about the business itself, in eight parts. None of them are difficult. Several are uncomfortable, and that's most of the value.
It holds whether or not you ever sell. An investor prices it, a bank discounts it, a successor inherits it, and you live it every week for as long as you own the thing, which is the part that rarely gets counted. You get a number out of 100, the seven readings behind it, what somebody outside would notice first, and the three answers they would press on hardest.
It's not a valuation and it won't tell you what anyone would pay. It's not financial, accounting or legal advice. It scores what you tell it, so a careless half hour returns a careless number, and that's nobody's doing but yours.
There's no catch. Nobody is going to call you. The full report goes further, and nothing is held back from your result in order to sell it.
Allow 45 minutes to an hour, most of it looking things up, and have last year's revenue and your most recent accounts within reach. The sheet will email you a link back if you'd prefer to finish another time.
Before you take the month, you'll already know the three answers to deal with first.
Your answers are yours. We do not sell them. We do use anonymised data, aggregated, to establish industry, regional and other statistics.
