Could your business run 30 days without calling you?
Take the 5-minute assessment and identify the decisions, relationships, and processes that still depend too heavily on you — before you step back, transfer leadership, or prepare for succession.

What we measure
Four scores, each computed only from your own answers — no benchmarks, no padding.
You built a real business. But too much of it may still live inside your head.
Owner dependence quietly reduces revenue, freedom, and transferability.
Slow response, inconsistent follow-up, lost estimates, weak reactivation — demand you already earned, quietly lost.
Critical knowledge sits with the owner instead of inside repeatable workflows — everything important routes through one person.
Profitable, but hard for a manager, family member, or future operator to run confidently without you.
The Exit-Ready Business Framework
Four stages, in order. The assessment tells you where to start — most owners begin with Recover, because it pays for everything that follows.
Find and fix revenue leaks — missed calls, slow response, unworked estimates, weak follow-up, inactive customers.
Turn owner knowledge into operating infrastructure — SOPs, decision rules, handoffs, checklists, automations.
Prepare the company to function under someone else — dashboards, responsibility maps, transition documentation.
With dependence reduced, you choose: keep growing, step back, hand it down, or prepare for what's next.
Fair questions, straight answers.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. Fifteen questions, about five minutes, and your four scores appear immediately. No card, no obligation, no sales call required to see your results.
How are the scores calculated?
Deterministic arithmetic over your own answers — nothing else. No benchmarks, no invented averages, no padding. Answer the same way twice and you'll get the same numbers twice.
Who is this built for?
Established owner-operated companies — typically 10+ years in business with a real team — whose owner wants to reduce daily dependence, prepare a handoff, or stop losing revenue the business already earns.
What happens with my answers?
They stay private. We use them to prepare your free Exit-Ready Review if you book one — they're never sold, shared, or used for anything else.
What's the catch?
None hidden: the assessment is how we meet owners we can genuinely help. If your scores show the business runs fine without you, we'll say so.
