Exit Readiness Diagnostic

20 questions. 5–7 minutes. An honest picture of where you stand — across governance, exit readiness, ownership dynamics, and owner dependency.

First, which best describes your business?
๐ŸŒฟ
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.
๐Ÿข
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.
Your answers will be used to tailor the questions and results to your situation. There are no right answers — just honest ones.
