How do you know if your business is ready to scale?

A business is ready to scale when growth adds profit without overloading the owner, the team or the cash position. This diagnostic checks ten pass or fail gates, including margins above 20% after owner pay, documented delivery processes, no client over 25% of revenue, 3 or more months of cash reserves, and a two-week vacation test.

How do I read my growth readiness score?

Count the gates you passed out of 10. Passing 9 or 10 reads Ready, 7 or 8 Near ready, 4 to 6 Foundation gaps, and 0 to 3 Not ready. Failed gates are grouped by category, such as financial or operational, and the category with the most failures is named your primary gap.
