Question 04
How dependent is the business on you?
This is one of the top factors acquirers evaluate. Be honest — there’s no wrong answer.
Very dependent — I’m in everything
Sales, operations, and key relationships all go through me
Somewhat — I have a team but I’m still critical
I could step away for a few weeks, but not months
Mostly independent — strong management team
Day-to-day runs without me, I focus on strategy
Fully independent — I could walk away tomorrow
Systems, leadership, and culture are in place
Question 05
How recurring is your revenue?
Predictable revenue significantly increases what a buyer will pay.
Mostly project-based or one-time
Each month we start from near zero
Good repeat customers, but no contracts

Contracted / subscription revenue
Annual or monthly contracts with 60%+ retention
Highly recurring with strong retention
90%+ net revenue retention, long-term contracts

Down 5%+ year-over-year
Relatively flat
Stable but not meaningfully growing

Steady, healthy trajectory
Growing 15%+ per year

Based on your profile, there are three primary areas that could increase your valuation by 1-2x multiples over the next 12-18 months. The most impactful lever for your business is reducing owner dependency through documented systems and empowered management.
