How Ready Is Your Business for Sale? Find Out with a Simple Survey!

September 18, 20243 min read

As a business owner, you've poured your heart and soul into building something valuable.  But when it comes time to sell, how can you be sure that your business is truly ready?

 

Here’s a little secret:  many businesses are almost there but miss out on maximizing their value because they weren’t fully prepared when it mattered most.

 

That’s where Exit Strategy's Enterprise Variation Outcome Score (EVOS) survey comes in - your roadmap to understanding just how ready your business is to sell.  And the best part?  You can take our EVOS survey for free.

 

Why Should You Care About How Ready Your Business Is?

When a potential buyer looks at your business, they aren’t just evaluating today’s profits - they're looking at the future.  They want to know that the business they’re buying is healthy, scalable, and, most importantly, not tied to you.

 

If your business isn’t ready, the sale might:

  • Stall in the negotiation phase

  • Result in a lower offer than expected

  • Take much longer than necessary

The EVOS survey gives you a clear picture of how "sale-ready" your business is, pointing out areas that could use some fine-tuning before you bring it to market.

 

What Does EVOS Measure?

The Enterprise Variation Outcome Score is like a business check-up that looks at several important areas.  The survey helps uncover any gaps between where your business is now and where it needs to be to get the best possible outcome when selling.  Here are just a few things EVOS measures:

  • Financial Health:  Are your financials clean and clear, or do they need some tidying up?

  • Operational Efficiency:  Is your business able to run without you at the helm?

  • Risk Factors:  Are there legal, regulatory, or customer risks that could make buyers nervous?

 

Each question in the EVOS survey is designed to give you practical insights into the areas of your business that can be improved to increase its attractiveness to buyers - and, ultimately, its sale price.

 

Take Control of the Future Sale of Your Business

Taking the EVOS survey is an easy way to find out if you're on track to sell for the best price or if there are areas that could be improved before putting your business on the market.  And while selling a business can seem overwhelming, the EVOS survey gives you a clear starting point.

 

It’s like turning on the headlights when you’re driving at night - you’ll see what’s ahead and be able to adjust before a potential buyer does!
