The Value Builder Score: Your Roadmap to a Valuable Business
It all started with a book
Built to Sell became a must-read for small business owners looking to create a company that thrives without them and sells for top dollar. That idea grew into an assessment to help owners evaluate their business and then a suite of tools to unlock its value.
Today we call it The Value Builder System™. With over 80,000 business owners using our tools, we’re here to help you protect, grow, and realize the value of your company.
Start your Value Builder journey, and see how your business stacks up.

Unlock Your Business's Hidden Value with The Value Builder System
The Value Builder System™ is a statistically proven methodology designed to improve the value of a privately held business. At the core of the system is The Value Builder Score™, an evaluation system driven by an algorithm that evaluates a business on the eight core value drivers acquirers take into consideration when buying companies. The Value Builder Score™ gives a comprehensive assessment of the “Sellability” of your business, whether you want to sell next year or just to know that you’re building a valuable asset for the future.
After analyzing more than 52,000+ businesses, analysts at The Value Builder System™ have discovered that companies with a Value Builder Score of 90+ received offers that are 7.1 times higher than the average-score business.
The Value Builder System™ is available exclusively through an experienced and authorized group of advisors, known as Certified Value Builders™, located across the globe.
As a Certified Value Builder™, Wayne can be your sounding board. We may also be able to point out where the hidden value is in your company and how an acquirer might look at other areas of your business, so you’ll know where to focus your efforts.
Determine Your Personal Readiness to Exit
Seventy-four percent of owners have regrets one year after they exit their business. The PREScore™ (Personal Readiness to Exit Score) Report assesses whether you are psychologically ready to exit your business, helping you avoid disappointment after the sale.

Assess the Value of Your Business
Written in the same approachable style that has made Built to Sell the world’s most popular exit book, the owner-friendly Value Builder Report gives you an estimate of the value of your company plus a roadmap for improving it.
