The Diagnostic

How ready are you to exit your business — and the building you run it from?

Most owners between 55 and 65 hold two valuable assets: the operating business they built, and the commercial property it runs from. Exiting either one well is hard. Exiting both — in the right order, at the right time, for the right money — is harder. This 8-minute scorecard assesses your readiness across both.

What it measures

Three dimensions. One honest score.

The scorecard assesses 40 considerations across the three readiness dimensions that determine a complete dual-asset exit. There are no leading questions and no scoring tricks. Some respondents score well — and we'll tell you so.

01

Property Readiness

14 questions · 35 points

Ownership structure, valuation, lease arrangements, redevelopment potential, market positioning, and tenant transition readiness for the commercial property your business operates from.

02

Business Readiness

14 questions · 35 points

Financial transparency, management depth, customer concentration, growth trajectory, transferability, and operational independence from the owner.

03

Personal Readiness

12 questions · 30 points

Personal financial position, post-exit purpose, spouse and family alignment, time horizon, emotional readiness, and risk position.

The Four Tiers

Where will you land?

Every respondent falls into one of four tiers based on a 0–100 score. Each tier has a different report, a different next step, and — frankly — a different timeline to a complete exit.

80 — 100

Exit-Ready Owner

You have done the work. A complete dual-asset exit is achievable within 12–24 months on strong terms. Optimisation, not transformation, is the priority.

60 — 79

Position-Ready Owner

The bones are good. Two or three specific gaps stand between you and a strong exit. Focused work over 18–36 months gets you to Exit-Ready.

40 — 59

Foundation-Building Owner

Material work is needed before exit is realistic. You have three to five years of structural preparation ahead to achieve the exit you want.

0 — 39

Early-Stage Owner

Whether by intention or timing, you're early in your exit journey. Either a longer runway — five to ten years — or a recalibration of expectations.

How we built it

Four principles. No tricks.

01

It teaches

Every question is a piece of education. By question 40 you'll have considered things about your exit you hadn't before.

02

It's honest

No leading questions, no scoring tricks designed to justify a sales pitch. We score honestly — some respondents will score well.

03

It segments

Three dimensions produce a precise picture of which gap matters most for you — Property, Business, Personal, or a combination.

04

It qualifies

Calibrated for the 50–65 owner-operator. If you're earlier in your journey, the report will tell you that — kindly, and clearly.
