Ten-Question Assessment

Check The Evidence A Serious Buyer May Examine.

Choose the answer that best reflects the business today. This is a preparation tool—not a valuation, guarantee or substitute for accounting, legal, tax or financial advice.

Private by design: your answers are calculated in this browser. They are not sent to Barry, FINN, analytics or any third party.

7. Is there a capable team likely to support a transition?

9. Can the growth story be supported by commercial evidence?

About The Sale Readiness Score.

Does this score value my business?

No. It identifies areas that may affect preparation and buyer confidence. It is not a business appraisal, formal valuation or professional advice.

Are my answers stored or sent to FINN?

No. The score is calculated in your browser. Your answers are not submitted or stored by the website.

When should I assess sale readiness?

An early review can be useful even when a sale may be one or more years away. Financial records, management depth, systems and commercial risks often take time to strengthen.

Preparation Is Most Useful Before The Market Sets The Timetable.
