Service 04 — Exit Readiness 36
Business sale preparation: identify the work to address.
Time before a possible sale can help you examine the numbers, responsibilities and risks before a buyer asks questions.
Exit Readiness 36 is an indicative starting point, approximately 24–36 months before a possible event, not a promise of timing or sale. Depending on the engagement, the work examines information quality, concentrated responsibilities, dependencies and questions a buyer may raise, then identifies next priorities.
