What this is
This is a short operational diagnostic for bakery and cafe owners. It is designed to help you step back from day-to-day production and see where the business may be carrying pressure. This diagnostic helps identify whether the next step is improvement, preparation, valuation, or simply maintaining the current course.
What this is not
This is not a sale questionnaire. It does not ask for tax returns, financial statements, payroll records, or private customer information.
How to use it
Select the answer that best reflects the current operation. There are no right or wrong answers. The value of this diagnostic depends on how accurately it reflects the business as it operates today. Quick, honest answers are more useful than ideal or aspirational ones. This is not about scoring well. It is about seeing the business clearly.
Optional Next Step
Send the completed diagnostic back to Flour & Finance. I will provide a short read on what the pattern suggests - whether the business appears stable, constrained, under pressure, or approaching a larger decision point. I will follow up to offer a short 8-10 minute Owner-Options call to walk through what the result may mean from an owner, buyer, lender, or exit-planning perspective.
