The Exit Readiness Playbook
A plain-English guide for owners who plan to sell one day and want the most for the business they built. Over 47 years I built and sold companies, including an eight-figure sale that passed a five-month due diligence the first time. This is the method I used, written down.
How buyers really value a business like yours
The levers that move the number, in plain English, so you know where the real money is before a buyer ever calls.
The clean-books standard
What your financials have to look like to pass due diligence the first time, without surprises that knock the price down.
De-risking customer concentration
Why one big customer scares buyers, and how to spread that risk in the year or two before you sell.
The earnout traps
The structures that quietly claw back a chunk of your price after closing, and how to see them coming.
What a five-month due diligence looks for
A walk through the review I passed when I sold, so nothing in the room derails your deal.
The proof is the work itself. The same checklist that carried an eight-figure sale through a five-month due diligence the first time.
