Find out how sellable your home staging business really is – before you need to know.

Most staging business owners don’t think seriously about selling until something changes – a health event, a burnout moment, a life transition. By then, the window for a good exit is narrow. This tool gives you a clear-eyed snapshot while you still have time to act on it.

 

The Exit Readiness Scorecard is a self-scoring tool that walks you through the five key drivers buyers look at when evaluating a staging business. You’ll score yourself 1–5 in each area and come out knowing exactly where you stand.

Enter your email and we’ll send the scorecard straight to your inbox!

THE FIVE DRIVERS

Here are the areas you’ll be rating yourself on:

Clean financials
Can a buyer trust your numbers?
Inventory as a system
Is your inventory an asset – or a headache?
Repeatable delivery
Does the business run without you in every room?
Owner independence
What happens to the business if you step back?
Lead flow & revenue risk
How diversified and predictable is your income?

“I’ve been in this industry for 15 years and I had no idea how much work went into actually making a business sellable. Getting honest about the gaps early is what made the difference.”

About Shauna Lynn Simon, CEO SLS Academy

I’ve been in the home staging industry since 2008. For 15 years, I ran a high-producing staging business myself. So when I say I understand how staging businesses actually work, I mean it from the inside: the inventory headaches, the owner-dependent operations, the financials that don’t quite look the way a buyer needs them to.

That experience is what led me to build the training and coaching programs that staging owners didn’t have, including the part nobody talks about: what happens when it’s time to get out.
