First step

FECS Quick Assessment

One working day at your company. Within five working days you receive a clear picture: where the company stands today, what the risks are and which three moves come first.

Why a Quick Assessment

A big decision starts with a clear picture

Transforming a family business is a serious investment. Before it, you should know where the company really stands — on the data, not on a hunch.

Who it is for

Do you recognise yourself

The Quick Assessment is for you if
  • Decision You are considering professionalisation, succession or ownership arrangements.
  • Insight You want an independent assessment before a larger investment.
  • Sequence You sense the problem, but not the order of moves.
  • Timing A generational handover or a successor's entry is approaching.

If you recognise yourself in most of these, the Quick Assessment gives you the basis for the next decision.

How it works

One day on site, a report in five days

Day on site

One intensive working day with the owner, key co-owners and 2–4 members of management. A structured conversation, not a presentation.

Preparation

In advance: 26 questions, basic financial and organisational data and documents as agreed. We use the day for depth, not for collection.

Report in 5 days

Within five working days you receive a written finding and a closing meeting where we go through the results and the next step.

What you get

A concrete finding, not a general impression

Deliverable

The Quick Assessment finding includes

  1. A FECS maturity score of 0–100 and a level of 1–5, with sub-scores by area.
  2. A map of key risks (B1–B5) — where the company stands and what threatens continuity.
  3. The top five priorities — what first, and what not now.
  4. A recommended next step, tailored to your situation.

The finding is the basis for a decision: whether, when and in what order to enter a larger engagement.

Price and terms

One price, clear rules

FECS Quick Assessment

€2,500 + VAT

A fixed price for one working day and a written finding. Not negotiable.

Diagnostic+ — for companies with multiple owners, multiple entities or complex family dynamics there is a two-day version (€4,000 + VAT) with an added ownership and family dimension.

Credit. The full amount of the Quick Assessment is credited as an advance towards a transformation engagement if the contract is signed within 60 days of the finding's presentation.

Guarantee

If you do not receive a clearly defined finding, priorities and a recommendation for the next step, we repeat the closing meeting at no charge.

Boundaries

What a Quick Assessment is not

A Quick Assessment does not include a full strategic plan, a legal opinion, a psychological assessment or implementation. Its value is in the decision: what first, what not now, and whether you are ready for a larger engagement.
