Most small business owners build a great business. Fewer build one that attracts the right buyer, at the right price. Acquirable closes that gap — with advice grounded in real buyer thinking, not exit theory.
02 — Why it matters
What makes a business feel successful and what makes it attractive to a buyer are rarely the same thing. The gap costs founders money.
Businesses that command a premium are built that way deliberately — often years before an owner is ready to move on. Retrofit is expensive.
Brokers get paid on completion. Exit coaches are ex-founders. Acquirable's perspective is different — we look at your business the way a serious buyer does.
03 — Free scorecard
13 questions. Under 5 minutes. A buyer's-eye view of your business across the six dimensions that actually move valuation — or kill deals.

Common questions
Do I need to be planning to sell soon?
No. The businesses that achieve the best outcomes are built with a buyer's perspective years before exit. Whether you're 2 years out or 10, the work is the same — and the earlier you start, the more of it you can actually fix.
What's the difference between the free scorecard and the Baseline Assessment?
The scorecard gives you an instant score across six dimensions — useful for understanding where you stand. The Baseline Assessment is a personalised written report that tells you what a serious buyer would actually think, what the deal consequences of each gap are, and what to prioritise first. They're complementary, not competing.
Is this only for businesses looking for a trade sale?
No. The Baseline Assessment covers all four buyer types — trade buyers, private equity, acquisition entrepreneurs, and management buyouts. Part of what you receive is an analysis of which buyer type your business is currently best suited to, and why.
What size of business is this designed for?
UK owner-managed businesses with revenue and profit — typically where a sale would be a meaningful transaction rather than a wind-down. If you're generating revenue and have a team, the frameworks apply. If you're pre-revenue or pre-product, this isn't the right fit yet.
Is this financial or legal advice?
No. Acquirable provides advisory frameworks to help you understand how a buyer would evaluate your business. It is not a valuation service, a brokerage, or a legal or financial advisory. For a formal valuation or transaction support, you'll need a corporate finance adviser or solicitor.
