The Exit Readiness Scorecard

How does a buyer see your company?

Ten value drivers determine what your construction company is actually worth. Rate yourself honestly on each, 1–10. Your total tells you where you stand — and more importantly, where the gaps are that a buyer will use to discount your price.

80–100
Exit Ready

A buyer sees a business, not a job. Time to explore strategic options.

60–79
Good Foundation

Structure is there but gaps remain. 12–24 months of focused work moves you into premium territory.

40–59
Significant Work Needed

The business has value but it's locked inside you. A buyer will discount heavily for the risk.

Below 40
Owner IS the Business

Right now, you'd be selling a job. The good news: fixing this makes your company better to run every day.
