What should you gather before a review?
Bring financial reports you use to run the business, customer and vendor agreements, a list of key responsibilities and the steps that depend on you. Note gaps rather than filling them with guesses.

Owner readiness
Business valuation starts with readiness.
Start with how ready your business is to hand off and what stands in the way. Separate the records you can explain from assumptions you still need to check.
What can an owner learn before making a decision?
Look at whether someone else could follow the work, understand the numbers and keep customer commitments. Owner dependence, unclear records and undocumented handoffs are useful questions for a readiness conversation.
Common questions
How much is my business worth?
A website cannot give you a reliable answer from a few inputs. Start by organizing your records and clarifying the purpose of the review. This page provides no appraisal or sale price.
Do I need to be ready to sell before asking for a review?
No. You can examine handoff readiness while deciding whether to keep running the business, delegate more work or consider a future transition.
What happens after a readiness review?
Discuss the findings and decide your next step. Any further work needs an agreed scope. A review does not commit you to a transaction.
Then choose. No required next purchase.
