Family office fit check

I use this check to decide whether family offices belong on an initial research list. A score cannot tell me whether a specific office is a fit or whether it will invest.

01 Can I explain in one sentence why a family office could be relevant to this opportunity?
02 Have I identified a specific family office or a clear group to research?
03 Can I find a stated investment interest that appears connected to the opportunity?
04 Can I explain the opportunity without relying on jargon?
05 Can I describe the team's relevant experience accurately?
06 Can I explain the intended use of capital?
07 Have I identified key assumptions and known uncertainties?
08 Can I provide organized information when asked?
09 Do I have a relevant reason for contacting this office?
10 Can I keep a thoughtful follow-up process going without assuming interest?

General education only. Not legal, tax or investment advice. A score is a starting point for your own review, not a judgment on suitability or compliance.

How scoring works

Each yes scores one point, for a total out of 10. Family offices differ, so this is an educational self-check and not a recommendation or a prediction.
