Complete the assessment to replace unknowns with a structured first view. Each result remains traceable to your answers.

01Calculated

Earnings durability

Unknown

Revenue repeatability and economic consistency.

02Calculated

Transferability

Unknown

Whether operations can continue after ownership changes.

03Calculated

Concentration exposure

Unknown

Dependence on customers, channels and counterparties.

04Calculated

Evidence readiness

Unknown

How much of the commercial picture has usable support.

What strengthens the picture

Commercial qualities a buyer can examine.

  • Complete the assessment to identify up to three strengths.

What deserves attention

Dependencies that should not stay hidden.

  • Unknown inputs remain visible rather than being treated as positive or negative.

Good analysis follows the connections instead of isolating one attractive number.

What would change the picture?

Move from an answer to something supportable.

A promising answer is only the beginning. The useful next question is what evidence would allow a buyer to rely on it—and where the period, scope or source still leaves uncertainty.

  • Supply financial records that reconcile revenue and normalized earnings.
  • Document responsibilities that currently depend on the owner.
  • Show channel and customer concentration over a meaningful period.

Transferability depends on the load-bearing relationships beneath the visible business.

Buyer and seller interpretation

The same dependency creates two useful questions.

For buyers: where should diligence concentrate, and what could change normalized earnings after transfer?

For sellers: which dependency can be documented, distributed or strengthened before it slows a serious transaction?

Methodology · BA-QX 1.0

Transparent inputs. Separate conclusions.

01

Map the economic engine

Revenue repeatability, customers and acquisition channels are considered independently before their connections are shown.

02

Test transferability

Owner responsibilities, team coverage, processes and third-party dependencies shape what may remain after a sale.

03

Keep evidence distinct

A commercially attractive answer is not upgraded merely because it sounds credible. Evidence readiness remains its own dimension.

04

Leave unknowns visible

Incomplete information produces an incomplete picture. The tool does not invent a favourable or unfavourable default.

Important: This is an initial self-assessment, not due diligence, a formal valuation, an audit, an investment recommendation or verification by BrokerAccord. A buyer must conduct independent due diligence and obtain appropriate professional advice.

A relevant next step

Use the picture. Then examine the opportunity.

The resource is complete without a sales conversation. If the result points to a real acquisition or sale, continue when useful.
