The Foundation Check

Free, and yours to keep

See your business the way a buyer will.

Most owners have never been scored the way a buyer will score them. This does it on all five counts, and names the one that's holding the rest back.

The five things a buyer prices

Every business gets measured on the same five. Your score is the average of them, and the weakest one is the one holding the rest back.

  1. A

    Clean Numbers

    Can a buyer trust the numbers?

  2. B

    Runs Without You

    Does it run without the owner?

  3. C

    Your Team & Bench

    Is there a team that carries it?

  4. D

    Where You Stand

    Is the position durable and growing?

  5. E

    Deal-Ready

    Ready to transact when you choose?

Five factors behind each one, twenty-five in total. Self-rated, equally weighted.

32 questions, about 10 minutes, one tap each. You can stop and pick it up later.

No email to see your score. Your stage and the one constraint appear on screen. An email gets you the read on each of the five and what a buyer would find.

Written by the two people who'd do the work. A CPA who's run more than 100 buyer-side reviews, and an operator who's been inside businesses this size.

Yours to keep either way. We'd rather you have an honest read and never call us than have neither.

A directional, self-rated read, meant to surface the conversations worth having. Not a formal valuation, not investment advice, and not for use in litigation, divorce, or tax filings.
