A clear picture of where things currently stand
The Succession Readiness Review looks honestly at how prepared your company is for a change of leadership, and leaves the decisions about what to do with that entirely to you.
Return homeThe promise
You receive a written summary of where your company stands across shareholding, the concentration of relationships and knowledge, key documentation, banking arrangements, and the tax questions that come with a change of ownership — organized so you can see, at a glance, where attention may be worth your time.
The problem this addresses
Many owner-managed companies reach a point where the founder is aware that a transition will eventually be needed, but has no clear sense of how ready the company actually is. Without an outside view, it's difficult to know whether the gaps are significant or manageable — and that uncertainty is often what keeps the subject from being addressed at all.
The approach
The review works through conversation rather than a standardized checklist. An interview covers the areas most likely to affect a transition, and the findings are written up as observations — not as a prescribed plan — so the direction taken afterward remains entirely yours to set.
The experience
A single interview round, conducted at a pace that suits you, followed by a written report delivered within three weeks. There is no follow-up program attached — what happens after the report is entirely up to you.

On the results
The value of a readiness review lies in clarity rather than any promised outcome. Most clients come away with a better-defined sense of which areas need attention first, and which can reasonably wait.
The assurance
There is no obligation to act on the findings, and no follow-up work is assumed or expected. A brief initial exchange, at no cost, is available if you'd like to confirm this is the right starting point before booking.
