Free business reviews.
Two free reviews that show where your HVAC business stands, each ending in an action plan of what to focus on next.
Talk to Simon first, then have a free 30-minute conversation with Nick, so the review is aimed at what matters for your sale.
Technology and cyber security
The first review looks at your technology and cyber security, and at what a buyer will want to see about them.
It is free, there is no sign-up and no email address to give, and the provider says it takes about seven minutes. Your answers stay on your own device.
At the end you get an action plan in order of priority, which you can download as a PDF and keep.
It is most useful for firms with a team and systems to look after. For a sole trader there is less in it.
What customers and tenders ask for
Commercial clients and public bodies often weigh how a firm manages its environmental impact when they award maintenance work.
A buyer who wins work through tenders will ask what you can show, because weak answers can cost contracts after the sale.
The second review is free and builds a practical sustainability action plan for a small business. Setting it up takes a couple of minutes, by the provider's estimate, and some features need a free account.
It is a plan to work from, not a certification.
How it works
We start with a conversation, so you only spend time on the review that helps.
- Talk to Simon about the business and what you want from a sale.
- Simon introduces you to Nick for a free 30-minute conversation, so the review is aimed at what matters for your sale.
- Afterwards, Simon or Nick sends you the link to the review that fits.
- There is no charge and no hard sell.
Questions owners ask
Do the reviews cost anything?
No. Both reviews are free, and so is the conversation before them.
Why talk to you first?
So the review is aimed at what matters for your sale, and you only spend time on the one that fits. Simon or Nick sends you the link after the conversation.
Do I have to give my details to a review?
Not for the technology and cyber security review: there is no sign-up and your answers stay on your own device. Some features of the second review need a free account.
Is my business too small?
The technology review is most useful for firms with a team and systems to look after. For a sole trader, a conversation about the sale itself is usually the better first step.
Is a review a certificate?
No. Each one is a self-check that ends in an action plan. It is not an audit or a certification.
Does asking commit me to anything?
No. Asking about a review does not commit you to any service, to selling, or to selling through Reads.
