🏁 Why Preparation is Key
Preparation can make or break your business sale. The better prepared your business is, the higher its selling price and faster the sale.
Here’s how to prepare effectively:
📚 Step 1: Organize Financials
Buyers want transparency. Ensure your:
- Profit and loss statements (3 years)
- BAS & tax returns
- Debtors and creditors list
- Stock and asset register
…are all accurate and up to date.
🧾 Step 2: Clean Up Legal & Admin
- Resolve any outstanding legal disputes
- Review your lease agreements
- Renew permits and licenses
- Confirm ownership of assets
🧠 Step 3: Strengthen Operations
A smooth-running business attracts buyers.
Document key processes, staff roles, supplier details, and customer contracts.
🧹 Step 4: Improve Presentation
If your business operates from a physical location, make it look its best — repair, repaint, or refresh signage.
