Service 2 of 3
Prepare to sell your business
To prepare to sell your business is to make it readable for a buyer: a Transition Document that explains how it runs without you, a complete data room and a defensible value. It's the second of our three services: it turns the automation work into price.
No commitment. No cost. 45 minutes.

01
What this service includes
- The Transition Document: your business's operating manual for the successor, with the first-100-days plan.
- The data room: normalized financials, contracts, team, with the Transition Document at its center.
- A defensible value, set before talking to the first buyer.
02
Why it raises the price
A buyer pays for what they understand and can verify. The fewer unknowns, the less they hold back, the less earn-out they demand, and the less they ask you to stay.
03
What it prepares
A complete file and a defensible value: that's what lets several buyers compete in the next service, the sale.
The steps covered, in detail
All three, together
Each service prepares the next. Doing them together, early, is how you get the best price and the most value for your fees.
It starts with a free 45-minute audit.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I prepare the sale without automating first?
- Yes, but the Transition Document will be thinner and the buyer will still see the dependencies. That's why the two services go together.
- What is the Transition Document?
- The guide that lets a successor run your business without you: processes, key clients, team, risks and a first-100-days plan.
- When should the data room open to buyers?
- Build it early, open it late: only to serious buyers, after a confidentiality agreement and, often, a letter of intent.
