CHALLENGE | DEAL
Selling or exiting the business
A sale or exit is on the table, and the finance function that's run the business day to day now has to survive a buyer's due diligence.
Most finance functions were built to run the business, not to be examined by someone deciding whether to buy it. Due diligence finds the gaps fast: inconsistent numbers, undocumented assumptions, a forecast nobody can defend under questioning. Preparing early is the difference between leading the process and reacting to what diligence uncovers.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Selling or exiting the business means the numbers that were good enough for internal reporting now have to hold up to a buyer's scrutiny, on their timeline, not yours.

Questions we get asked
How early should we start preparing?
Six to twelve months before the conversation, so the numbers tell the story before someone else's diligence does.
Can you work alongside our corporate finance adviser?
Yes. We sit inside the deal team, building the numbers your adviser needs, on their timeline.
What if we're not sure we're selling yet?
Preparation isn't wasted either way: a finance function that would survive diligence is simply a stronger function, sale or no sale.
