Conversation Readiness Diagnostic

20 questions. About 7 minutes. An honest picture of where you stand - across governance, exit readiness, ownership dynamics, and owner dependency.

First, which best describes your business?
🌿
Family business
Ownership and leadership involve family members - whether that's one generation or several. Family relationships are part of how decisions get made, deferred, or avoided.
🏢
Private business with shareholders
Multiple shareholders - some active in the business, some not. Family members may be involved or be potential successors, but you'd describe this primarily as a privately-owned business rather than a family one.
There are no right answers - just honest ones. Your answers are used only to tailor the questions and results to your situation.
