Your report gives you an overall score out of 100 and shows how your company performs on each of the eight key drivers of company value. Together with your advisor, you’ll use those findings to pinpoint the three changes to make first and understand why each one matters to a buyer.
In Value Builder’s data, a greater share of owners with higher-scoring businesses reported receiving an offer. Those businesses also attracted higher offers relative to pre-tax profit. Knowing your score today gives you time to work on the areas a buyer may question before you’re ready to sell.
71%
higher than average offers for businesses with a Value Builder Score of 80+: a multiple of 6.1 times pre-tax profit, against 3.55 for the average business.

A buyer will look at how your business has performed over time. You’ll also need to know whether the price and terms would let you leave on your terms. The 360° Readiness Lens helps you see where you stand on both questions while you can still act on what you learn.
Understand what supports your asking price and where a buyer may push back. Go into negotiations knowing what you need from the deal and where you could be leaving money on the table.
Identify what a buyer might use to justify a lower offer years from now. Finding those issues today gives you time to address them before they become negotiating points.

Financial readiness
An estimate of your Freedom Point, the least you may need from a sale to fund your next chapter. It’s compared with the estimate of business value to show any possible gap. This is a planning estimate.
Personal readiness
How ready you feel for a new role, what comes next, how closely your identity is tied to the firm, and which transition or team matters count most to you.
The Estimate of Value gives an indication of what your business might be worth today. It is not a formal independent valuation, which is a separate engagement.
