Business Exit Planning · Exit readiness
Is Your Business Ready to Sell?
An exit readiness review shows how a buyer is likely to see your business today and which changes would improve its value and transferability.
- How a buyer will see your business today
- Indicative value and main risks
- A prioritised action list
What we do
We assess the business against the questions a buyer, broker or successor will ask, and give you an independent indication of current value.
You receive a short written report with the main risks, their likely effect on value, and a prioritised list of actions.
Issues that often complicate the work
Owner dependence
Who holds the customer relationships, pricing decisions and operational knowledge?
Quality of earnings
Are profits clean, consistent and supported by reliable monthly reporting?
Concentration
How much depends on a few customers, suppliers or staff?
Structure and documentation
Are leases, contracts, IP and entity structures ready for a transfer?
Our approach
- Interview and financial review.
- Indicative value and readiness assessment.
- Written action plan with priorities and timing.
