Sale Readiness Assessment — an exit readiness assessment
What a buyer’s checks would find, before a buyer sees your business.
Discretion. Integrity. Diligence.
DiscretionPrivate information remains private. Nothing shared without your permission. Opportunities held for a private, trusted few.
IntegrityHonest advice. Straight answers. Nothing hidden.
DiligenceEvery detail checked. Every party verified. Both sides protected.
Find it before the buyer does.
An exit readiness assessment for UK business owners before you sell. It is due diligence on your own business, sometimes called vendor due diligence: it finds what a buyer’s checks would find, commercially, financially and legally. Starting early gives you time to act on it.
WHAT WE LOOK AT
COMMERCIAL. Your business model, market and competitors, key customers and suppliers, key people and growth plans.
FINANCIAL. Trading history, accounts, debts, cash flow, forecasts, what the money is for, and property and assets.
LEGAL. Ownership and structure, contracts, employment, disputes, intellectual property and insurance.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A list of actions in order of priority: your checklist for preparing a business for sale.
WHEN TO USE IT
As early as possible before a sale, so there is time to act on what it finds.
HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
Discretion: your sale stays private until you decide otherwise.
Integrity: every finding is set out plainly.
Diligence: we check your business as thoroughly as a buyer would.
The first step
Every engagement starts with an application.
We take on work only where we can make a difference. The application tells us what you want to achieve, by when, and how this fits your wider plans.
