01

There is not enough information in revenue alone

A credible value opinion depends on purpose, method, time period, financial quality, operating risk, and market context. Revenue, employee count, or one industry multiple is not enough to price a specific company.

02

Understand what a professional needs to examine

Relevant details often include financial statements, earnings adjustments, job profitability, customer mix, leadership depth, owner role, backlog, contracts, and transaction objectives. Different professional scopes can produce different kinds of conclusions.

03

Separate readiness from valuation

An exit-readiness score can help identify operating questions; it cannot tell you what a buyer will pay. A valuation requires a defined purpose, documented financials, appropriate analysis, and an appropriately qualified professional.

04

Take the next step without assuming a sale

You can start by organizing information and identifying key-person or reporting gaps even if an exit is years away. The free My Exit Score is a qualitative reflection, not a value estimate.
