Private businesses spend years creating value. Preparation often starts far too late.
A business owner can spend 10, 20 or 30 years building a valuable company. Then one day they decide to sell, bring in an investor or seek finance, and only then does the preparation begin.
Financials need explaining. Adjustments need proving. Risks need identifying. Contracts need reviewing. Documentation needs organising. The business needs preparing for scrutiny. And the right professionals still need to be brought around the owner.
We believe the preparation should come first. That's why DealReady exists.
We prepare private businesses for sale, investment and finance. Before the transaction begins.
Accountants, lawyers, brokers and lenders each look after their part of a transaction. Nobody owns the preparation that comes before it. That is our role. We verify the numbers, fix what a buyer would find, prove it with evidence, and match the owner with the right independent advisor. We do not give tax or legal advice.
Verify
Check the financials against the tax returns and test the proof behind every adjustment to profit.
Fix
Find the risks a buyer would find, and work through them while there is still time.
Prove
Certify the earnings and build the Information Memorandum, data room and vendor due diligence.
Match
Introduce the owner to the independent advisor or lender best suited to the business.
Understand the business first. Then match the right advisors.
Choosing an advisor or lender shouldn't begin with a directory. By the time a business is DealReady we understand its size, sector, financial position, timing and what the owner wants. That is what the match is built on.
Technology at the heart of the service.
Our platform ingests the financials, tests them against the tax returns, tracks every piece of evidence and builds the data room. Our analysts and chartered accountants work inside it with the owner and their advisors. That is how preparation that once took a corporate finance team months takes weeks, at a price a private business can justify.
to certified and ready
Everyone has a different role. Everyone should understand the same business.
DealReady connects the preparation between them.
DealReady Group doesn't sell businesses. Our partners do.
We prepare the business. Independent brokers and M&A advisors run the sale. Accountants and lawyers keep advising their client, and lenders keep making credit decisions. Everyone does the part they are best at, and the owner arrives at the transaction ready.
We prepare. Our partners transact.
Private businesses deserve better preparation.
Large companies enter major financial events surrounded by sophisticated advisors, structured information and extensive preparation. Private business owners should not have to wait until the transaction begins to achieve the same discipline.
That's the future we're building towards.
