Are You Ready to Exit or Raise Capital? Use This Scorecard First.
Most founders think valuation happens at the negotiation table. Wrong.
Your premium price is built months or years before the deal, by how you structure your business today.
In this video, I introduce one of my most effective tools: the Exit & Investment Readiness Scorecard.
It’s a fast, strategic audit that shows you:
• Whether your business is ready for a premium exit or capital raise.
• What red flags should to fix before you meet buyers or investors?
• How to reduce valuation-killers like key-person risk, lack of data, or undocumented processes.
• What drives valuation up, and how to plan your next moves with confidence.
The best part?
It gives you clarity on when to sit at the table and when to wait until you’re truly ready.
Watch now and download your scorecard to audit your business like an investor.
