Our 'Business Health Checks' for Value-Building

At Shield, we've developed a couple of on-line rapid diagnostic tools to help owners and managers pin-point opportunities to boost the value of their businesses.

Financial Endurance Test

The latest, developed in response to the Pandemic, is our free 'Financial Endurance Test', to help you identify steps you can take to boost your financial resilience in turbulent times. 

Value-Boosting-Opportunity Detector

Our Business Health Checks identify where you have scope to boost the value of your business (in the years prior to sale, or just to help you take your business to the next level).

By way of introduction, we've created the free 15 question taster below, offering immediate feedback: Shield's 'Value-Boosting-Opportunity Detector', or mini Business Health Check:

For those who want to go further, we've made two full versions available to purchase online: the Basic Business Health Check (100 questions spanning 10 essential functions of any business) and the Comprehensive Business Health Check (which runs to more than 500 questions).
 

Sale Readiness Test

If you are considering selling a business you might also find it helpful to take Shield's Sale Readiness Test, which is a downloadable questionnaire on the topic of sale preparation, designed to help you assess how ready you are to launch a sale process. It answers the question "Assuming that I want to sell my business soon, how much still needs to be done before I start talking to potential buyers?" You can buy the Sale ReadinessTest here.
