Preparing Your Business for Sale

A practical eight-step preparation framework for owners considering a sale in the next six to thirty-six months.

Selling a business is one of the most important financial decisions an owner will make, and most owners do it only once.

CREBB’s current live resource is designed for owners considering a sale in the next six to thirty-six months, including owners approaching retirement and businesses with approximately $500,000 to $5 million in annual revenue.

The guide explains the preparation work that can create a more credible, transferable, and valuable company.

Inside the guide

Eight disciplines that strengthen readiness.

Get a business valuation

Understand likely market value, assumptions, financial performance, and industry benchmarks.

Clean up financials

Present accurate, organized records that help buyers understand historical performance and future earning potential.

Streamline operations

Document systems, reduce owner dependency, and demonstrate a transferable operation.

Organize legal and compliance documents

Reduce transaction risk by preparing contracts, corporate records, permits, and regulatory information.

Plan the exit strategy

Align timing, structure, financial goals, transition, and legacy considerations.

Prepare for due diligence

Anticipate buyer questions and make important information easier to verify.
