Scoring
Attractiveness Score
Readiness Score
Attractiveness Score
how good does the business look from the outside in
Readiness Score
how ready is the business to transition or scale
What is Readiness?
It is not the decision to sell or grow.
It is a state of fact, not a state of mind.
Two considerations:
- is the owner ready?
- is the business ready?
- in the eyes of the current owner (“ugly baby”)
- in the eyes of the new owner (premium or discount)
