Most owners sell once. The outcome depends far less on finding an interested buyer than on the months of preparation that happen before anyone sees the company.
An independent valuation and a financial model you can defend, so you enter every conversation knowing your own numbers rather than reacting to someone else’s.
Clean up what a buyer will otherwise discount you for. Inventory, outstanding liabilities, contracts, and anything that looks like work they will inherit.
Not whoever happens to be available. The parties for whom your business is worth more combined with theirs than it is standing alone.
Structuring, due diligence coordination, negotiation, and terms that still protect you after the agreement is signed.
Payment terms, deferred consideration and post-closing obligations all sit on the other side of signing. A seller without support at that stage can lose in the weeks after closing what they negotiated hard for over the preceding months.
Seven questions, about two minutes. You get a readiness score out of 100, the three things a buyer will question first, and what to do about each of them.
