FAQ

Sell-Ready Thermometer questions

What is the Sell-Ready Thermometer?

A 2-minute self-assessment for owners considering a sale in the near term. It scores eight factors buyers weigh and places you on a scale from cold to ready to go to market.

Is this a valuation?

No. It is a readiness indicator based on your answers, not a valuation, appraisal or offer. For a preliminary value range, use the Blueprint assessment.

What if my result is cold or warming?

That usually means the business would benefit from preparation before going to market. The Blueprint measures your gaps and lays out the steps to close them.

What happens if I am ready to go to market?

Book a call to talk through a sell-side process, which is executed either in-house or co-advised with trusted industry partners.
