Resilience Assessment:

Moderate With Gaps

Your business demonstrates strong financial fundamentals with EBITDA of $485K and improving cash flow. However, three critical gaps could reduce valuation by $900K-$1.4M: customer concentration (42% from top 3 clients), key person dependency (founder handles 60% of relationships), and recurring revenue gap (only 15%). Addressing these gaps over 12-18 months could increase valuation from $2.24M to $2.44M.

Buyer Readiness Score

74/100

Exit Timing: 6-12 Months Preparation Needed
Timeline: 12-18 months optimal preparation period

Valuation Impact Analysis:

Current resiliency score of 78/100 provides a 10% valuation premium (1.10x multiplier). Improving to 90/100 would increase the premium to 20% (1.20x multiplier), adding $204K to your exit valuation.
Estimated Valuation: $2,240,000 (4.62x multiple)

Goal-Specific Risks:

Customer Concentration Risk: 42% revenue from top 3 clients. Impact: -$400K to -$600K valuation. Mitigation: Add 8-10 mid-size clients within 12 months.
Key Person Dependency: Founder handles 60% of client relationships. Impact: -$200K to -$400K valuation. Mitigation: Transition 50% of relationships to sales team over 6 months.
Recurring Revenue Gap: Only 15% recurring revenue. Impact: -$300K valuation opportunity cost. Mitigation: Convert top 10 clients to retainers, target 30% recurring.

Resilience Gaps to Address:

Operational documentation only 40% complete - reduces transferability and increases buyer risk
Cash reserves at 2.1 months vs 6-month industry standard for premium exits
No formal management succession plan - creates key person dependency concerns

Recommended Actions:

Complete 90% SOP documentation within 90 days to demonstrate operational maturity and reduce key person risk
Build $240K cash reserve (6 months operating expenses) to strengthen financial resilience and buyer confidence
Reduce top 3 customer concentration from 42% to <25% by adding 8-10 mid-size clients

💡 Top Recommendations

Accelerate Recurring Revenue Conversion

Convert top 10 project clients to retainer models. Target: 30% recurring revenue in 12 months. Estimated valuation impact: +$600K.

Reduce Customer Concentration Risk

Add 8-10 mid-size clients to reduce top 3 client concentration from 42% to <25%. Reduces buyer risk and increases valuation.

Build 6-Month Cash Reserve

Establish $240K cash reserve fund to strengthen financial resilience and buyer confidence.
