How Ready Are You…. Really?
The Readiness Quotient™ (RQ) is our proprietary scoring model designed to measure how attractive your business is to future buyers or investors. Built on decades of M&A experience, RQ turns uncertainty into insight.
A Smarter Way to Measure Business Readiness
The Readiness Quotient™ is a diagnostic tool that scores your business on 40 metrics, across 7 critical dimensions, that influence exit value, buyer interest, and overall attractiveness. It evaluates both tangible and intangible factors—such as financial performance, leadership strength, customer diversity, operational maturity, and more—using a consistent scoring framework.
Why It Matters
Most Owners Don’t Know What Their Business Is Worth… Until It’s Too Late
Traditional valuations miss the mark. They look backwards. The Readiness Quotient looks forward—identifying risk factors, bottlenecks, and growth levers that directly impact your business’s value in the eyes of acquirers or investors. Whether your exit is 1 year or 10 years away, the RQ Score™ & Comprehensive Report gives you the insight to plan with confidence.
A significant percentage of businesses will never successfully sell.
Less than half of business owners have a succession plan.
Only 1 in 3 family businesses successfully transition to the next generation.
70-90% of acquisitions fail to return expected value.
Do you have a plan to beat the staggering odds of failure?
