🌟 Premium-Ready:
You're building something worth buying. You've done the work. Clean financials, low owner dependency, recurring revenue, strong systems. PE buyers compete for businesses at this level. You have leverage at the table. Time to close the remaining gaps and prepare your data room.
🏃➡️ On Track:
Solid business, real value — but identifiable gaps are compressing your multiple. Every point you close on the scorecard is real dollars added to your exit number. A 1x improvement on a $500K EBITDA business is $500,000. You have a solid foundation with specific, fixable gaps. A roadmap will get you moving fast.
⚠️ At Risk:
The business is transactable but discounted. Buyers see the risk and price it in. Owner dependency, weak recurring revenue, and messy financials are the most common culprits at this band — and all three are fixable. Value is being left on the table. The good news: most of these gaps are addressable with focused effort.
⏱️ Critical Gap:
Significant work ahead, but every business at this stage started somewhere. Most PE buyers pass entirely. Strategic buyers or competitors might take a look, but at a price that doesn't reflect the value you've built. This isn't a verdict — it's a starting line. The gap is closeable, but the clock matters.
