The Sellability Score was developed using a quantitative survey of business owners with between $50,000 and $100,000,000 in annual revenue. In addition, we completed a quantitative survey of Merger & Acquisition (M&A) professionals. Using various statistical techniques including a factor, regression and correlation analysis, we were able to create an algorithm that predicts the sellability of a company.

The Sellability Score was created by a team of research professionals led by John Warrillow, the bestselling author of Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You. John has started and exited four companies, including his most recent business, which was acquired by a public company. In 2008, John was recognized by BtoB Magazine’s "Who’s Who" list as one of America’s most influential business-to-business marketers.
