BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Quick Signal Scan consists of 20 short statements across 5 important areas of your business and takes about 5 minutes to complete.
These five areas are:
Cash FlowCustomers & DemandDependence on the Owner or Key PersonRoutine Business OperationsHow the Business Acquires Customers
Answer based on the actual situation in your business over the past 30 days. For each statement, choose how accurately it describes the actual situation in your business overall — not simply how often it happened.
There are no right or wrong answers. Choose the response that comes closest to your business as it actually is.
If your transactions or sales cycle take longer, also consider opportunities or business matters that were still active during those 30 days.
At the end, QSS will help you see which area may deserve attention first, together with an initial reading and a simple next step to observe.
