The Problem This Solves
You've spent decades building this practice, but you don't actually know what it's worth to a buyer or where the gaps are hiding. If your clients are tied to you personally instead of the firm, or your revenue isn't as recurring as you think, you're walking into a transition with a discount you can't see coming.
✦ You'll know your succession readiness scored across the five dimensions buyers actually price on, so you can see whether you're positioned for a premium or facing a material exit discount before you ever sit down at the table.
Tool Details
How It Works
Composite assessment across five succession readiness dimensions: Documentation (processes written and transferable), Client Relationships (firm vs. personal dependency), Financial Structure (recurring and predictable revenue), Team Depth (internal transition capacity), and Legal Readiness (entity structure and agreements). Each dimension scores 0–100. Composite is weighted: Financial Structure 30%, Client Relationships 25%, Team Depth 20%, Documentation 15%, Legal Readiness 10%. Score above 75 indicates premium acquisition positioning. Score below 50 indicates material exit discount risk. Benchmarks from Synseus data on practices that have completed succession events.
