Getting the business, the data room and the story ready before going to market. The observations below provide a strategic framework for discussion and are not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific professional advice.
Readiness comes before outreach
Unresolved ownership, weak records, undocumented arrangements and inconsistent performance data create delay and reduce confidence.
Build the evidence base
Prepare corporate records, financial information, material contracts, licences, employment documents, IP ownership, compliance records and a clear explanation of earnings and growth.
Control the process
Define confidentiality, buyer qualification, information-release stages, management access, decision rights and a realistic completion plan before approaching the market.
