Founder Freedom Audit: The Exit Readiness Assessment for Founders
See how much your business really depends on you — and what that dependence is costing you at exit.
Founder Freedom Audit helps founders prepare for exit, reduce dependence, and increase valuation multiples by up to 50%.
When buyers look at your business, they’re asking a simple question: “If the founder steps away, does this company still thrive?”
For most businesses, the uncomfortable answer is no. Decisions, client relationships, and culture all depend on the founder — and that dependence is the #1 reason valuations get slashed by 30–50%.
