Due Diligence Checklists

Take control of your exit strategy by preparing for due diligence


Why a Due Diligence Checklist is Helpful for Sellers

Buyers typically provide due diligence checklists when you sell your business.

So why should owners review one before you sell?

Because this checklist will give you a sense of what your buyer might ask for during the due diligence phase.

That means you can prepare ahead of time — which drastically improves your chances of closing the deal.

Being prepared also makes the due diligence phase – which founders constantly tell us is the hardest part of selling their business – less stressful.

Plus, understanding what’s valuable to buyers can help you identify opportunities and risk points well before you sell. If you focus on those pieces of your business in advance, you could sell the business for millions more.
