VGS: Can the value transfer?
Valuation-Grade Succession (VGS) reviews ten components to understand whether business value can continue without the owner. Evidence limits each component rating. The findings inform five reporting measures and a dollar analysis, with separate scores for whether value can transfer and whether it will hold.
Watch the evidence-supported component ratings build, then see how the Assessment presents an illustrative dollar result.

How much of the business’s value depends on one person?
Check which revenue and essential work still depend on the owner.
What the example shows
The manager describes covering the owner’s work during an absence, but no work logs or account records have been supplied.
Current rating: 2 out of 4
The description alone does not support a higher rating. Supporting records are needed.
What this means for the business
The business may have backup coverage, but the buyer cannot yet verify it. The next step is to identify who can take over and check their work.
How the rating is calculated
GrowFast reviews the company’s records and assigns a rating from 1 to 4. Higher ratings mean stronger performance against the assessment criteria. The evidence determines how high the rating can be.
The proposed rating is 3 out of 4. The available evidence allows a maximum of 2.
Why this matters
Identify the supporting records and any independent demonstration. Level 4 requires operation in a system and demonstrated performance without the owner.
Next, we look at: Who else has demonstrated they can run the owner’s work?
