DealReady Certification is available on its own from $2,200, or included in our full preparation packages.

Most businesses sell for less than they are worth.

Not because the business isn’t good. Because it wasn’t prepared. Buyers price every uncertainty as risk, and risk becomes discount. We close that gap before you sell, then introduce you to the right advisor.

Three services. One standard.

Everything we do gets your business ready to sell, and gives every party at the table a verified foundation.

How it works.

A structured process that takes the chaos out of preparing to sell. We value, verify and certify your business, then introduce you to the right advisor, and the buyers ready to transact.

Product screens shown throughout are illustrative examples.

Valuation & Financial Review

We normalise your financials and value your business against thousands of comparable transactions: the same rigour a leading M&A advisor brings before any sale. You get a defensible number, not a vendor wish-list.

What type of business do you run?

This determines the market multiple for your industry.

This estimate is for general information only and does not constitute financial advice. Actual business valuations depend on many factors not captured here, including market conditions, asset values, and buyer demand. Consult a licensed business valuator or financial advisor before making decisions based on this information. DealReady Group Pty Ltd (ABN pending) does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence.

Our valuations are backed by real transactions. Not estimates.

DealReady draws on a proprietary dataset of 3,000+ completed business transactions and growing. Every valuation and certification is informed by real sold data: the multiples buyers actually paid, not the multiples owners hoped for. This is the data that makes DealReady different.

Frequently asked.

Not seeing your question? Talk to an advisor.

DealReady prepares, values and independently certifies mid-market businesses for sale, then introduces owners to the right broker or M&A advisor to transact. The result is verified businesses, confident buyers, and better outcomes for both sides.

No. We make your business deal-ready and introduce you to the accredited broker or M&A advisor best suited to sell it. They run the sale, starting with certified numbers and a complete data room.

Onboarding, financial verification, valuation, certification, and a professional IM and data room. Once certified, we introduce you to the right advisor to take the business to market. Typical timeline is three to six weeks to certification.

Mid-market businesses across any industry: trades, professional services, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing and retail. The certification process is the same. The depth of the financial review scales with complexity.

Packages are priced by business size. Essential is $5,760 for businesses under $500k EBITDA, Corporate is $12,240 for $500k to $1M, and Enterprise is $18,300 for over $1M, with Custom Enterprise for larger or complex businesses. Pay in full or over three months. Certification and your advisor introduction are included in every package.

No, but we work closely with brokers. If you have one, DealReady complements their work and takes preparation off their desk. If you don’t, we can connect you with a vetted broker in your sector and state.

Every certification is reviewed and signed off by an independent chartered accountant. Not self-reported, not estimated. Verified numbers with audit trails back to source documents. Buyers cannot dispute what a CA has already signed.

Yes. Lenders use DealReady Certification as an independent, verified foundation for funding decisions: verified EBITDA, a risk summary, a documentation review and a lender-readiness view. The certification is available for $2,200 on its own, independently of our full preparation packages.
