Acquisition Readiness File

A buyer is not paying for what you built — they are paying for what keeps running after you stop answering the phone.

What it is

The question every owner eventually asks, answered without flattery: could this be sold, and what would have to be true first. Diagnoses what a buyer actually acquires, names the dependencies and concentrations that cut the price, lists the documents diligence will demand and you cannot produce, and sequences the repairs over twelve to twenty-four months — ending in a decision, including the legitimate decision not to prepare. For owners and family operators wondering whether they built an asset or a job.

What you receive

an honest read of whether your business could be sold and what it would take — the buyer's-eye diagnosis of what is actually being bought, the dependency, concentration and key-person risks that destroy value, the documentation gaps that stall diligence, the register of what lives only in one person's memory, a sequenced twelve-to-twenty-four-month repair plan separating what can be fixed from what must be disclosed instead, and the dated decision to prepare, to keep and improve, or to do nothing
