Founder Exit Readiness Scorecard

Thinking of Selling Your Business but Don’t Know Where to Begin?

In about five minutes, you’ll find out how ready your business, and you personally, are for a sale or transition, and exactly what’s standing in the way.

Take the Free Exit Readiness Assessment

Built for founders who are considering an exit, partial transition, or succession, but don’t know how to evaluate their own readiness.

Who this is for

This Assessment Is for You If:

You’ve thought about selling or stepping back, but don’t know where to start
You don’t know if your business is even sellable in its current state
You have no idea what your business might be worth, or what would increase that
You don’t know who would buy a business like yours, or how a deal would work
You want out, or want to step back, without leaving value on the table

This assessment isn’t built for founders who are years away from any transition, or businesses that are pre-revenue.

What you’ll learn

A note on what “exit” means here

More Than One Way Out

Kanter Solutions rarely functions as a traditional broker selling a business outright to an unrelated third party. In most cases we become your partner: taking a minority ownership stake and stepping into an operating role.

That might mean acquiring part of the business directly, preparing it for an eventual outside sale, or managing a transition over time.

Majority control changes hands only in specific circumstances, such as a founder stepping back for reasons of age or health.

So a conversation about your exit may lead to several different outcomes. A full walk-away sale to an outside buyer is only one of them, and it is worth knowing that before you start.

No obligation. No sales pressure. Just clarity.
