SellYourSMB Index™
Every private equity firm, every strategic buyer, and every competent mergers and acquisitions advisor evaluates the same six dimensions when deciding whether to acquire a business — and how much to pay. Here's what they look for.
Are buyers acquiring a business — or buying themselves a job?
Measures how well your business operates without you personally involved.
Clean books close deals. Messy financials kill them.
Evaluates the cleanliness, reliability, and transparency of your financial records.
Is your business a system — or a collection of heroic efforts?
Assesses the strength of documented processes, technology systems, and performance tracking.
Will your revenue survive the ownership transition — or walk out the door?
Measures the quality, predictability, and transferability of your revenue streams.
Who runs this company if you walk away?
Evaluates your team's depth, management layers, retention, and key person redundancy.
What's hiding in the fine print that could blow up your deal?
Assesses legal, regulatory, IP, and contractual risks that could derail a transaction.
Your overall SellYourSMB Scorecard™ is a weighted composite of all six dimensions. No single dimension can carry a weak score elsewhere — buyers evaluate the full picture. A business scoring 90 on financial clarity but 20 on owner independence isn't sale-ready; it's a well-documented job.
The SellYourSMB Audit™ evaluates your business across all 6 dimensions in about 10 minutes. Get your personalized SellYourSMB Scorecard™ plus a comprehensive professional-grade analysis.
