Why take it

A structured way to step back and look at the whole business.

Owners work inside their companies every day, which makes it difficult to assess objectively how the business is actually doing. The Business Health Score™ creates that view in one structured pass.

  • What appears healthy

    Areas the responses indicate are functioning as intended today.

  • What is working and should be maintained

    Strengths worth protecting as the business changes or grows.

  • What may need attention

    Areas where the responses suggest inconsistency or strain.

  • Where improvement may be beneficial

    Practical places to focus effort next, in order of consequence.

  • Where further review may be useful

    Areas where a closer professional look is likely to be worthwhile.

  • The purpose is not only to find problems.

    A healthy business can use the score to confirm and maintain its strengths.

How it is scored

Your responses are evaluated across each business area, then combined into one score.

The assessment reviews multiple areas of the business and brings the results together into a single structured picture. Each area receives its own result, and those results inform the overall Business Health Score™ on a 0–100 scale.

  • Strategy & Direction
  • Operations & Processes
  • Financial Visibility & Revenue
  • Sales & Customer Growth
  • People & Organization
  • Technology & Systems
  • Risk & Compliance
  • Performance & Growth Readiness

Scoring weights and internal methodology remain proprietary to Nelson & Fields.
