Service 04 — Exit Readiness 36

Business sale preparation: identify the work to address.

Time before a possible sale can help you examine the numbers, responsibilities and risks before a buyer asks questions.

Exit Readiness 36 is an indicative starting point, approximately 24–36 months before a possible event, not a promise of timing or sale. Depending on the engagement, the work examines information quality, concentrated responsibilities, dependencies and questions a buyer may raise, then identifies next priorities.

Questions to ask yourself

Your situation

You are considering a sale and want to know which financial information, processes or responsibilities to prepare before meeting a buyer.

  1. 01Which numbers and documents will need to be explained to a buyer?
  2. 02Does the business run without you for day-to-day decisions?
