For owners

How ready is the business for its next chapter?

A private, ten-question review for owners thinking about succession, sale or simply more freedom, whether that moment is next year or a decade away. Scored in two minutes, with a considered report by email.

  • Two quiet minutes

    Ten questions, three answers each. No commercial detail is asked for: no revenue figures, no company name.

  • A considered report

    Your position across ten areas, with short notes on where quiet work now pays for itself later. Sent by email.

  • Nothing public, no list

    Your answers are used to prepare your report and nothing else. No list, no follow-up sequence, no third parties.

The review

Ten questions owners rarely get asked directly.

Answer honestly rather than hopefully. The review is private, and an honest picture is the useful one.

  1. 01If you stepped away for a month, how would the business run?
  2. 02Is there a senior person who could lead the business day to day?
  3. 03How much of your revenue comes from your largest client?
  4. 04How much of the way the business runs is written down?
  5. 05How current and clear is your financial picture?
  6. 06Who holds the key client relationships?
  7. 07Have you discussed the next chapter with anyone?
  8. 08Do you have a sense of when the next chapter might begin?
  9. 09Are the company's affairs tidy: shareholdings, property, contracts?
  10. 10Would your key people stay through a change of ownership?

Where should the review go?
