If you stepped away for 90 days, what would break?
A 12-minute assessment that measures how much your business depends on you - and how ready you are to change that. Built for owners thinking about a sale, a succession, or simply a life where the company needs them less.
28 questions. Free. Results on the spot.
Every decision routes through you - pricing, hiring, the exception to the rule.
Your team is capable. They're also waiting.
The two-week vacation keeps not happening.
And somewhere in the back of your mind: if I stopped, would it hold?
None of this is a work-ethic problem. It's a structure problem - and structure can be measured.
How it works
Take it.
28 questions, about 12 minutes. Answer for the business you have, not the one you're building.
See it.
Your Owner Independence Score, instantly - with the three gaps costing you the most.
Keep it.
The full eleven-area report lands in your inbox. Yours, permanently.
A mirror, not a grade.
Your score, 0 to 100. A profile across eleven operational and readiness areas - decisions, leadership depth, process, relationships, visibility, and your own calendar. And for each gap: what it costs at a transition, and what closing it looks like.
No fluff, no flattery. The report reads the way a good advisor talks.
The question buyers ask a hundred ways.
Does this business run without its owner? Every acquirer, every lender, every successor asks it - and diligence answers it whether you're ready or not.
This assessment is the private dress rehearsal: the same question, asked while there's still time to change the answer.
There's no good score. Only an honest one.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The assessment and the report are free.
Who sees my results?
You do. If you arrived through your advisor's link, their team sees your scores - and we tell you that before you start, not after.
Is this a valuation?
No. Nothing you answer here changes a multiple. It measures the thing valuations assume: whether the business transfers.
