The framework

Five dimensions of succession readiness

Most succession assessments focus on one thing. SuccessionFit scores five, because readiness is never one-dimensional.

01
Commercial Readiness
How dependent is the business on you commercially?
02
Operational Readiness
Can the business run without you in the room?
03
Financial Readiness
Are the finances clean, credible, and buyer-ready?
04
Personal Readiness
Do you know what you want and when?
05
Legal Readiness
Is the business legally and structurally clean?

Ready to find out where you stand?

Free. 20 minutes. A written report you can actually use.

One final question
Before your results
Optional, but it makes your report significantly more useful.
