Selling or acquiring · First step
Saleability check-up: what your business could be worth and what to fix before selling it.
A preliminary reading of value and issues, so you go to market with defensible numbers and no surprises in due diligence.
“Valuations are there to show where you really are, not where you would like to be.”
