Maximise What You Walk Away With.
The best time to prepare for a business sale is years before you plan to sell. Exit Readiness is a structured engagement that increases your sale price, reduces deal risk and ensures nothing derails the process when the time comes.
The Problem We Solve
Most sellers leave money on the table. Here's why.
Buyers pay premiums for businesses that are clean, documented and de-risked. They discount — or walk away from — businesses where the financials are messy, the owner is indispensable, or there are compliance skeletons in the cupboard.
Most business owners only start thinking about these things after a buyer has appeared. By then, it’s too late to address them properly. Exit Readiness starts the work 12–36 months out — enough time to actually move the value of your business in a meaningful direction.
Why this matters
“The best time to prepare for a business sale is years before you plan to sell. Exit Readiness is a structured engagement that increases your sale price, reduces deal risk and ensures nothing derails the process when the time comes.”

What’s Included
What Exit Readiness covers
Business valuation and gap analysis
We establish your current market value and identify the specific gaps between where the business is and what it needs to achieve your target exit price.
Value driver improvement
We systematically work through the levers that drive business value — recurring revenue, margin quality, customer concentration, owner dependency — and build a plan to improve each one.
Financial clean-up and EBITDA normalisation
We clean the financial records, remove owner-specific costs and present a clear, normalised EBITDA picture that holds up when a buyer’s advisor scrutinises the numbers.
Vendor due diligence preparation
We prepare the documentation a buyer will request — so you’re never scrambling under deal pressure and nothing unexpected derails the process.
Information memorandum support
We contribute the financial section of your Information Memorandum (IM) — the document that presents your business to prospective buyers.
Transaction support
When a buyer appears, we support you through the process — reviewing offers, responding to buyer DD and advising on structure to protect your interests.

Common Questions
Questions we get asked most.
When should I start exit planning?
Ideally 2–3 years before you intend to sell. The changes that most significantly increase value — reducing owner dependency, improving recurring revenue, cleaning up financials — take time to implement and embed credibly.
What's my business worth?
We provide a market value estimate as part of the Exit Readiness engagement, based on normalised EBITDA, comparable transaction multiples and the specific characteristics of your business. This gives you a realistic baseline and a target.
Do I need a business broker as well?
A broker markets the business and finds buyers — that’s a different function from exit readiness and financial preparation. Many clients engage both: us to prepare the business and maximise value, a broker to run the sale process.
What if the sale doesn't go ahead?
The work still delivers value. A better-organised, cleaner, more profitable business with a documented financial track record is worth more — full stop. Many clients find that going through exit readiness makes them question whether they want to sell at all.
