How do you know if you’ve found a qualified M&A advisory team? Which traits should you look for and what discussion should you have? Here are suggestions.

How Can I Get My Business Ready for Sale?

“Based on our experiences throughout the years, there are three broad areas that buyers look closely at:

  1. Internal Preparation – Has the seller positioned the company for sale?
  1. External Orientation – Has the seller created a culture that looks outwardly?
  1. Sustainable Future – Has the seller anticipated the future and its changes?

Each of these areas is equally important when professional buyers examine any acquisition opportunity. Let’s briefly analyze each.”
