See your company as a buyer will.

  1. Have you decided?Owner Decision ReadinessSell, hand over, or both. Until you decide, nothing moves.
  2. Who takes over?Successor Availability and FitFamily, management or a buyer, with the means and the will.
  3. Does it run without you?Management and OrganisationWho decides when you are away? A buyer checks this first.
  4. Is it written down?Process and Knowledge TransferWhat lives only in your head cannot be sold.
  5. Are the contracts clear?Governance and Legal StructureClear articles, agreements and contracts. Ambiguity lowers every offer.
  6. Do the numbers hold up?Financial TransparencyNumbers that tell a clear, verifiable story shorten due diligence.
  7. Will the business last?Market and Business ViabilityBuyers pay for the next five years.
  8. Will key people stay?People and Culture StabilityIf key people leave with you, the value leaves too.
  9. Are the systems sound?IT and Digital ReadinessSystems that run without workarounds, because buyers audit them too.
  10. Are tax and financing ready?Ownership Transfer ReadinessTax, financing, timing: the last mile is often where deals stall.

Succession takes time.

Starting early does not mean selling early: it means never having to sell under pressure.

Yes, if you accept a second sale a few years on, with part of your price reinvested and you still on board. No, if you want a clean exit now.

How do you make sure the buyer actually pays?

Treat it as a loan: know who owes it, then get a guarantor who exists, part of the price in escrow, and the whole balance due if they resell or default.
