Am I ready to hire?
Six honest questions about your income and your hours — answered plainly, with the reasoning shown, not just a verdict.
Your situation
Answer as honestly as you can — this only works if the numbers are real.
Real figures, not projections — this tells us how stable your income actually is.
Be honest about the real number, including evenings and weekends.
Admin, scheduling, basic client replies, delivery — anything that doesn't need to be you specifically.
A buffer of 2–3 months' wages, separate from your own living costs.
This shapes whether you need a hire, or just help through a busy patch.
This changes how much financial certainty you need before starting.
Your answer
Updates live as you answer.
How this answer is built
Income first
A new hire is a fixed monthly cost. We look at how stable your last 3 months of revenue actually were — not your best month ever.
Then capacity
Your hours and how much of your work is genuinely delegatable tell us whether a hire would actually create relief.
Then the safety net
A buffer for slow months, and whether the demand is ongoing — these decide if now is the right moment, or just close.
