The CFO Centre has been helping ambitious business owners grow and exit since 2001
What is the Scale-up & Exit Business Assessment?
The Scale-up & Exit Business Assessment (SEBA) is a free, four minute online assessment from The CFO Centre. It scores owner-managed businesses on how ready they are to scale, grow profit and cash flow, increase their value and exit.
You'll answer 23 multiple-choice questions about your business and your own goals. Your personalised report then shows where you're strong, where value is leaking and what to tackle first.
What your report shows you
- An overall readiness score
- A score for each of the three areas we look at
- Your biggest gap and the first thing to fix
- Practical next steps tailored to your answers
What we look at
Business Performance
Is the business growing profitably, with cash and numbers you can rely on?
How you compare with businesses that have achieved strong exits.
Operational Structure
Could the business run, and keep growing, without you in every decision?
Your team, your systems and the signs of a well-run company.
Personal Alignment
Do your business plans match what you want from life, now and also at exit?
Because a great exit is one that works for you, too.
Questions owners ask
About four minutes. There are 23 multiple-choice questions and you won't need any financial documents to hand.
Owners and directors of established, owner-managed businesses who want to grow, step back from the day-to-day or sell in the next few years.
Your overall score, a score for business performance, operational structure and personal alignment, and suggested next steps.
Buyers look for consistent profit, reliable financial information, a business that runs without the owner and a clear growth story. The assessment checks each of these.

Client Success Stories
Owners who have been there and how a fractional CFO transformed their businesses and their lives.
"The first few weeks with our part-time CFO were a breath of fresh air for myself. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Wim's international experience in our sector immediately gave the entire management a lot of peace of mind. He was operational from day 2 and very quickly part of the team. I am immensely grateful to him for all he has accomplished in a short period of time."

"Engaging our CFO at Board-level helped us focus on improving the health of the business as our revenue mix transitioned over time, and helped drive a successful outcome in a strategic acquisition of Genesis in Q2’2021."
