The Value Builder System
Freedom Score
Freedom Score™ is a 10-minute online assessment that calculates your “Freedom Point”—the moment when the sale of your business can fund your ideal post-exit lifestyle.
It helps you assess how close you are to financial independence and identifies what’s needed to bridge the gap. Whether you’re exiting soon or just planning ahead, Freedom Score™ gives you clarity, confidence, and direction.
PRE Score
PREScore™ is a short online tool that assesses your personal readiness for exit based on four key drivers: your vision for life after the sale, flexibility in deal structure, emotional detachment from the business, and team independence. It helps you uncover where you’re prepared—and where you need clarity—to exit with confidence.
Value Builder Score
We use the Value Builder Score™—a data-driven tool that measures your company’s performance across eight key drivers buyers care about. Whether you’re selling soon or building long-term value, it helps pinpoint your strengths and gaps to boost your business’s sellability and worth
