The 5-Point Exit Readiness Scorecard

A 15-Minute Diagnostic
for Home Care Founders

Know exactly where you stand — before a buyer tells you.

Before You Start

You know your agency is worth something. But do you know what a buyer sees when they look under the hood?

After a decade at Home Care Pulse working with hundreds of agencies, and now partnering with founders through Riverside, I’ve watched hundreds of deals unfold. The pattern is always the same: founders who know their gaps going in negotiate from strength. Founders who don’t? They find out during due diligence — and it costs them.

This scorecard isn’t a to-do list. It’s a diagnostic. In 15 minutes, you’ll have a clear, honest snapshot of where your agency stands across the five areas every serious buyer evaluates.

No one is grading this but you. The value is in the honesty, not the score. 

How It Works

Each section has 5 scored questions. Pick the answer that’s most honest — not the one you wish were true.

Your score tells you exactly where you are — and where to focus.
