    How do I make my business run without me?

    Write down how each repeat task is done, hand those tasks to someone with a checklist, and give them written rules and the authority to solve common problems. Then step back one task at a time and fix what breaks.

    What makes a small business sellable?

    Buyers generally look for steady profit, clean records, written processes, contracts in the business's name, and a business that doesn't depend on the owner or on one customer. The less it needs you, the easier it is to hand over.

    Can this test tell me what my business is worth?

    No. Value depends on profit, risk, market and terms, and only a qualified valuer or adviser who sees your real numbers can estimate it. This test only shows how much the business depends on you.
