We bring the rigour of a leading M&A advisor to everyday business owners. Business Exit Preparation gets your business ready, then certifies it, so that when the time comes to sell, buyers understand exactly what they are buying.
A structured path from a first defensible number to a completed sale. Most owners move through it in months, not years of guesswork.
We normalise your financials and value your business against thousands of comparable transactions, so you begin from a defensible number rather than a wish-list.
An independent assessment, signed off by chartered accountants, that gives buyers, accountants and advisors a verified foundation for their decisions.
We introduce you to the accredited broker or M&A advisor best suited to your business, and hand them a certified company with the data room already built.
Qualified buyers review your certified numbers in a secure data room, every party working from the same verified facts.
Your advisor runs the process. Because everyone trusts the same certified foundation, you negotiate from strength, with fewer surprises in diligence.
Getting deal-ready is real work, done before any buyer sees your business. We do it with you, step by step, so the result stands up to scrutiny.
Everything a buyer will ask for, gathered and organised in one place.
Three years of accounts, reconciled and presentation-ready.
Normalise earnings so your real, defensible profit is visible.
An independent CA reviews and signs off the numbers.
A professional Information Memorandum and supporting pack.
Diligence-ready from day one, with controlled access.
Every certified business has had its financials normalised, add-backs justified, and supporting documents reviewed by an independent chartered accountant. Buyers, accountants and advisors see a verified foundation, not a vendor wish-list.
Selling a business takes an owner, an accountant, an advisor, and a buyer, who usually each keep their own version of the numbers. DealReady certification gives them one verified record to work from, so the deal moves forward on facts everyone already trusts.
You approve one verified record, then everything buyers and their advisors see flows from it. No restating your numbers for every new party.
A chartered accountant reviews and signs off the financials once, so every figure carries a verified source the next party can rely on.
Your broker or M&A advisor takes a certified business to market with the data room already built, and negotiates from a foundation no one disputes.
Buyers assess the same certified numbers everyone else works from, so diligence confirms the deal rather than reopening it.
Most deals stall because every party keeps its own copy of the numbers. Once your business is certified, owner, accountant, broker, lender and buyer all work from the same verified record.
No restating figures for each new party. No version drift between spreadsheets. No surprises when diligence opens the books, because the books were verified before anyone arrived.
One verified record, shared across the deal.
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.
That is what lets a buyer trust a DealReady score on sight: it is anchored to what comparable businesses genuinely changed hands for.
Start with a free, indicative valuation, then get the preparation and certification that make buyers trust your numbers.
