Prepare the business before anyone prices it
Before a buyer, investor or lender puts a number on your business, we verify what it really earns, fix what they would find, and prove it. So they see the strongest version you can back up.

Every business has value the accounts don't show. But a buyer can only pay for what they can verify.
Confirm the earnings before someone else discounts them
Owner wages, one-off costs and personal expenses all change what the business really earns. We identify each adjustment, find the proof, and certify the number so it holds up when the buyer's accountant goes looking.
Show the earnings will still be there next year
Buyers pay a multiple for earnings they believe will continue. We show them why yours will, with the numbers behind it.
Find the problems before the buyer does
Owner dependency, customer concentration, unexplained movements. Fixed early, they are a footnote. Found in due diligence, they are a discount.
Put the whole story in one place
The Information Memorandum, a data room with every document a buyer will ask for, and the buyer's due diligence questions answered before they are asked.
Hand your M&A or business sales advisor a deal that is ready to go
We map the likely buyers so your appointed broker or M&A advisor starts with a plan, not a blank page.
We prepare. Your advisor transacts.
Once the business is ready, we introduce the independent broker or M&A advisor best placed to take it to market. Your accountant and lawyer stay exactly where they are.
Clear about what preparation means.
Preparation cannot guarantee a valuation, transaction or sale price. DealReady helps identify, substantiate and strengthen the supportable position of a business before a major financial event.
It does not replace independent legal, tax, financial, buyer or lender due diligence.
