Start early

The best exits are planned 12–24 months in advance. Use that time to clean up financials, resolve any outstanding legal or compliance issues, and strengthen the management team so the business isn't entirely dependent on you.

Know your numbers

Buyers will scrutinise your financials in detail. Make sure your revenue, EBITDA, and cash flow figures are clean, audited where possible, and presented in a way that makes the business easy to underwrite.

Build your narrative

Every business has a story. The best CIMs (Confidential Information Memorandums) clearly articulate what makes the business defensible, where the growth opportunity lies, and why now is the right time for a transaction.

Choose the right advisor

An experienced M&A advisor will help you position the business, identify the right buyers, manage the process, and negotiate terms that protect your interests through close.
