Funding & Selling Readiness
Prepare the organization, evidence, decisions, and continuity plan before approaching capital or a transaction.
A distinct readiness process
Succession clarifies the future of ownership and leadership. Funding and selling readiness prepares the enterprise and process for capital, a partner, or a transaction.
1. Capital objective
Define the business purpose, amount, timing, constraints, and whether customer-funded growth or external capital fits.
2. Financial and operating readiness
Organize reliable financial information, forecasts, contracts, systems, controls, customer concentration, and management evidence.
3. Value drivers
Identify earnings quality, growth, recurring revenue, owner dependence, people, processes, risk, and transferability.
4. Counterparty preparation
Prepare a clear story and decision criteria for lenders, investors, partners, or buyers.
5. Process support
Coordinate diligence readiness, questions, specialist input, negotiation preparation, and continuity.
6. Post-decision continuity
Protect associates, customers, leadership, knowledge, and the operating plan after the funding or transaction decision.
