A 5-minute scorecard for owners thinking about selling in the next 1 to 2 years.
Most owners discover their business is not as sale-ready as they thought at the worst possible moment: in the middle of due diligence, with a buyer across the table. By then the gaps cost you money, or the deal.
This scorecard gives you an honest, directional read on where you stand against the eight things a buyer actually checks. Be honest with yourself, inflating your answers only fools you.
For each statement, choose No (0), Partly (1) or Yes (2). Your running score updates at the top of the page. Maximum score is 48.
The first three lenses, owner dependence, earnings quality and customer concentration, are the deal-killers. They are what a buyer weighs most heavily. If those are weak, strength elsewhere counts for less.
Your score: 0 / 48
This is a directional read. It cannot tell you which gaps a buyer will price hardest, how much value is actually at stake, or what to fix first for the best return on your remaining runway.
That is what the myCFO Sale-Readiness Diagnostic does: a full assessment across all eight buyer lenses, a value-at-stake range, the objections a buyer will raise, and a prioritised plan to lift your business before you sell.
