Preparation Tips

Expert advice to help you prepare your business for sale

Start Early

Begin gathering documents 6-12 months before you plan to sell. This gives you time to organize everything and address any gaps.

Keep Records Current

Maintain up-to-date financial records and ensure all contracts are current and properly executed.

Involve Key Staff

Work with your accountant, attorney, and key employees to ensure all necessary documents are collected and organized.

Maintain Confidentiality

Keep your sale plans confidential until you're ready to go to market. This protects your business and employee relationships.
