Sale Ready
Most businesses that go to market are not ready for it. Buyers notice, and the price reflects it. Sale Ready fixes what due diligence would find, before the listing.
Who this is for
- Owners who plan to sell in the next one to three years and want the price to reflect what they built.
- Business brokers with clients who want to list but are not ready for a buyer’s scrutiny yet. We prepare, you sell. We do not broker deals.
- Owners not sure they want to sell, who want the option open and a business that runs without them either way.
The problems we fix
- The business depends on the owner being there every day, so a buyer sees a job instead of an asset
- Financials are accurate but need an hour of explaining before a buyer trusts them
- The website and reviews undersell what the business actually earns
- Key contracts, licences and IP ownership were never formally documented
- Staff, supplier and customer arrangements live in people’s heads, not on paper
What we do, field by field
Operations
- Internal processes documented and refined, so the business runs without the owner
- Financials cleaned up: margins, add-backs and reporting a buyer can verify
- Profitability lifted before the multiple gets applied to it
Growth
- Brand and digital presence brought up to date: website, reviews, visibility
- Marketing that transfers: documented channels a new owner can keep running
- A customer base story backed by numbers, not anecdotes
Legal
- Contracts, licences and IP ownership tidied before due diligence finds the gaps
- Supplier and customer agreements formalised and assignable
- Company structure and records ready for a buyer’s lawyers
What working with us gets you
- A valuation you can defend, because every number and claim has paper behind it.
- Faster, cleaner due diligence with fewer price reductions along the way.
- A business that runs without you, which is worth having even if you never sell.
- For brokers: a client who is actually listable, without you doing the preparation work yourself.
