Deep Dive into preparing your business for sale | PKF Francis Clark

Achieving a successful exit from any business requires careful planning and preparation, often years ahead of the event itself. This is particularly important in the current market where due diligence is more thorough, and sellers must clearly demonstrate the value of their business to potential buyers.
When a sale is reactionary, the results are often suboptimal and developing a clear exit strategy provides the ability to avoid events dictating when or how to sell.
