Would Your Business Survive Without You?
It All Comes Down To One Question.
Imagine you don't make it to work tomorrow.
- Would payroll still run?
- Could someone legally sign contracts?
- Would your customers know who to call?
- Could your team keep operating?
- Would your family inherit a business—or a crisis?
- That's The Bus Test.
What Failing The Bus Test Can Cost
Failing the Bus Test doesn't just create inconvenience.
Payroll stops.
Customers don't know who to call.
Employees lose confidence.
Contracts can't be signed.
Your family inherits confusion instead of a business.
The Bus Test isn't about preparing for tragedy.
It's about building a business that can survive uncertainty.
The Bus Test.
Leadership
Does your business depend on you?
Authority
Can someone legally act without you?
Documentation
Are your critical systems documented?
Protection
Would your business survive legal or financial disruption?
Succession
Does anyone know what happens next?
These are the five pillars that make up the assessment.
Why I Created The Bus Test
For nearly thirty years — since I became a lawyer in November 1996 — I've worked with entrepreneurs who spent decades building incredible businesses.
Then an illness.
An accident.
A lawsuit.
An unexpected death.
Suddenly everyone discovered the same problem: the business couldn't function without the owner.
I created the Bus Test to help business owners discover those vulnerabilities while there's still time to fix them.
Passing Isn't The Goal.
Becoming Shatterproof Is.
It's more valuable. Easier to scale. Easier to sell. Easier to lead.
The Bus Test isn't about buses.
It's about building a business that outlasts you.
