You can see the problems in a sale long before your client does.

It usually starts at an annual review. "I think I want to sell in the next couple of years." The owner's next step is a broker. Yours is a list: profit that is claimed rather than proven, a business that cannot run without them, and contracts nobody has read in years.

If they go to market like that, they leave money on the table. You know it. They do not yet.

Work with a preparation team that can prove your client's earnings to a buyer, with the evidence ready before anyone asks.

[Why this matters to you]

Your client's outcome is your outcome

When a client sells well, it is the work you did for years being rewarded. When they sell badly, it is discounted in a due diligence room you were never in. Preparation is the difference, and it starts long before a broker is appointed.

Better preparation. Stronger position. Better exit.

[What you get]

A better exit for your client. A stronger relationship for you.

Confirmed value before anyone prices it

Earnings proven and certified, risks found while there is still time to fix them. Your client walks into a negotiation knowing what the business is worth and able to prove it.

The right transaction advisor, not the nearest one

When your client is ready, we match them to an independent broker or M&A advisor from our Collaboration Partner network who fits the sector, the size and the deal. You are not guessing who to refer to.

A team around your client, with you in it

Owner, accountant, lawyer, DealReady, then the transaction advisor. You stay central from the first conversation to completion.

[For accountants]

A corporate finance team for your clients, without the corporate price

Large companies walk into a sale with a corporate finance team behind them. Your clients usually walk in with a spreadsheet. DealReady brings that same standard of preparation, earnings proven, risks fixed, a certified report and materials a buyer can rely on, at a price that works for a private business. You bring the numbers and the history. We bring the deal team.

You know the history. We prepare it for what comes next.

[For lawyers]

A deal that arrives in order, so your advice counts for more

Your client does not need another legal relationship. They need you inside a properly prepared process. We coordinate the corporate information, material contracts, leases, licences, employment, IP and legal risks a buyer will scrutinise, so your advice lands on an organised transaction rather than a scramble.

Your legal advice stays yours. We make the transaction information ready.

[When to introduce us]

The moment they start thinking about it.

01"I might sell in the next few years."02"I want to know what it is worth."03"I need finance."04"I am thinking about an investor."05"I want to retire."06"The business relies too much on me."

Any of those is the moment. Not the day they sign with a broker.
