Prepare for sale

Make the financial story easier to understand before a buyer asks for it.

A sale process puts historical reporting, forecasts, contracts, ownership, systems, cash and operating drivers under closer scrutiny. Preparation is strongest when management can explain the records and assumptions before a transaction timetable creates pressure.

How this works

From a relevant question to a useful next step.

  1. 1

    Clarify the transaction horizon

    Identify the likely timeline, intended outcome, decision makers, potential buyers or advisers and the information that may matter.

  2. 2

    Organise the financial foundation

    Assess historical reporting, close quality, reconciliations, forecasts, debt, cash and the records needed to explain material movements.

  3. 3

    Surface diligence questions early

    Make ownership, customer, supplier, people, tax, legal, system and control questions visible so specialist input can be planned responsibly.

  4. 4

    Build a controlled workplan

    Assign information owners, review routes and milestones so preparation improves the business without creating ungoverned copies of sensitive information.
