Think Like a Buyer Assessment

Selling a business is an emotional rollercoaster.

No one wants to hear their baby is ugly. You have worked so hard and cared for so many and the buyer is going to rip it to shreds all in an attempt to pay less.

What if you know what buyers are thinking about your business?
What if you knew where your gold was?
What if you could reduce the chance of your deal falling through?

Preparing your business for sale is like selling a home you have lived in for 20 years. You built it for you! The problem is the buyer wants it for them, so how do you do this?

Our Assessment

Our Think Like a Buyer assessment looks at over 40 areas of your business where deals can go bad. We interview you and your staff. We look at your intangibles and determine if they are an asset or a liability. Looking at your business from the perspective of an impartial, prospective buyer of your business. We also include an industry comparison report so you can better understand how you compare to others in your industry. The Buyer will know so why not you?

You'll be prepared to exit.

After the assessment, we sit down with you and debrief the comprehensive report the good, bad, and ugly buyers will be looking at. You will then be armed and able to prepare for your exit. I will warn you to prepare at least 12-36 months ahead of going to market as many potholes take time to address.

The reality is you can manage your findings before due diligence for far less than a deduct in the eleventh hour at the negotiation table.
