What You Get in Your Free Report

Your Business Value Score

A clear score across 8 value dimensions, with tier ratings (Critical, Vulnerable, Developing, Strong) for each section. You see exactly where your business creates value and where it leaks.

What Is Working and What Is Holding You Back

For each dimension, a specific diagnosis of your structural strengths and the constraints limiting your growth. Not generic observations. Specific to your score profile.

What Your Gaps Are Costing You

Euro-denominated estimates of what your current weaknesses cost in revenue, enterprise value, and growth capacity. At €1M revenue, a 10-point margin gap costs you €100K per year. Your report calculates your specific numbers.

Warning Signs You Already Recognize

Patterns you have noticed but not connected to their root causes. When you read these, you will nod. That recognition is the starting point for change.

The Mistakes That Keep Businesses Stuck

The 3-4 errors most business owners at your score level make when trying to fix these issues alone. Knowing what not to do saves you months.

Quick Wins, 30-Day, and 90-Day Action Plans

Prioritized actions with specific instructions, timelines, success measures, and effort estimates. Not 'improve your marketing.' Instead: 'Calculate your Revenue at Risk number this week. Here is how.'

Know Exactly What to Fix First

Each section includes a Quick Win for this week, a 30-Day milestone, and a 90-Day target. You will know which problem to solve first and exactly how to solve it.

"Will this tell me something I do not already know?"

You know your business has issues. What you do not know is which issues are costing you the most. A gap in owner dependence and a gap in revenue quality look similar from the inside, but they require completely different fixes and have different cost profiles. This assessment breaks your business into 8 independent dimensions and shows you exactly where the value is leaking, what it is costing you in euros, and which fix produces the fastest return.

You Are 10 Minutes Away from Knowing Your Number

Your business has a value. Right now, you are either building toward it or falling short. This assessment shows you which, and tells you what to do about it.
