For established trade business owners

What did you work your ass off for?

You built your business through years of hard work, sweat, risk, and sacrifice—all with the hope that one day, it would pay off.

Buyers and brokers have formulas to determine what your business is worth. If you don't know what they value—and what they discount—you could leave a significant amount of money on the table.

Prepare before due diligence

By the time everything is on the table, it is too late to fix what buyers find.

Your numbers tell a story. So does the way your business runs. Once you are in due diligence, weaknesses get exposed—and buyers account for them when deciding what they are willing to pay.

That's where MaxCap comes in.

The MaxCap Readiness Assessment gives you a structured outside view of your business through six areas buyers often examine. It shows where you appear strongest, where buyers may ask harder questions, and what may be worth addressing before a sale.

Before you go to market, know how you score—and what to do about it.

Know what a buyer will value

You know your business better than anyone.

But you probably do not look at it the same way a buyer does.

The free MaxCap Readiness Assessment gives you a buyer-readiness view of your business through the factors buyers use when deciding where they see strength, where they see risk, and what questions they need answered.

It includes 18 practical owner questions across six readiness areas. Financial records are optional and are not required to receive your score and report.

When you are finished, you will know:

Your overall MaxCap Readiness Score
Where your business is strongest
Where buyers may see risk
What could create buyer concern or affect a deal
Where to focus before you sell

No generic checklist. No guessing.

Your business. Your score. Your opportunity to improve it.

Prepare while you still have time

Don't wait until a buyer tells you what's wrong.

Once you are in the sale process, buyers are evaluating the business you already have. The numbers are there. The risks are there. And weaknesses can affect what a buyer is willing to offer.

MaxCap helps you uncover those issues earlier—when you still have time to do something about them. You worked too hard to find out too late.
