About Sellable Score
An honest read on whether your business is ready to sell: owner dependence, customer concentration, revenue quality, systems, accounts and ownership.
What is on this site
One question, "getting a business ready to sell", answered with a checker that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- Owner dependence: the first thing a buyer tests: Why owner dependence stops more sales than price does, how a buyer detects it in a week, and the changes that actually reduce it rather than describing it away.
- Customer concentration and what it does to a deal: One client at 40% of turnover rarely stops a sale, but it reshapes it. How buyers model concentration, what they ask for, and how to reduce the risk before you market.
- Getting a business ready to sell: what to do first: A sequence for exit preparation: which readiness items take years, which take weeks, and the two statutory clocks that have to be started well before you meet a buyer.

Sellable Score is an independent information site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with ICAEW, UK200Group, HMRC or any government body, and nothing here is legal, tax, accounting or investment advice, nor a valuation of any business. The checker describes what buyers commonly test; it does not predict a price, and we do not publish uplift figures for readiness improvements because no source we can verify publishes any.
