Why Your Readiness Score Matters More Than Your Valuation

Most business owners believe their valuation is the ultimate scorecard. But here’s the problem: a valuation is just a snapshot, frozen in time. It tells you what your business might be worth today, not whether you’re on track to build sustainable, transferable value.

Why RQ™ Matters

Valuations are one-time, RQ™ is ongoing

  • A valuation can shift overnight based on market sentiment. The Readiness Quotient™ (RQ) measures the true health and transferability of your business across 7 categories. Categories that your future ideal buyer will value.

  • RQ™ is designed to be re-scored, tracked, and improved…giving you a clear path forward and an objective way to measure the return you should expect for your efforts.

Valuations are reactive, RQ™ is proactive

  • A valuation responds to external conditions (multiples, comps, timing).

  • RQ™ puts control back in your hands by identifying the levers you can pull to make your business more attractive, resilient, and valuable over time.

Valuations measure dollars, RQ™ builds confidence

  • A valuation is an estimate.

  • RQ™ gives owners confidence… confidence in their operations, their team, and their eventual exit options… because it focuses on the fundamentals investors and buyers actually care about.

Your valuation tells you where you stand today. Your Readiness Quotient™ shows you where you can go tomorrow… and gives you the playbook to get there. We believe that every business owner must confidently know the answer to three critical questions. What do you have? What do you want? And how will you best position for success?
