Conduct A Due Diligence Dress Rehearsal Prior To Selling Your Company

Yosemite Associates has launched its latest business diagnostic

Ask yourself this question about your company – if I decided to sell my company to a third party, would my business get through their due diligence process successfully?

Deciding to sell your company one day is a major decision. But an equally important decision is will you successfully work through the acquirer’s due diligence process, or as we fondly refer to it as the proctology exam? This catches many sellers off guard as they don’t realize how in depth the acquirer most likely will want to probe into their business. As we convey to owners and CEO’s, getting an acquirer initially excited to acquire your business isn’t the hardest part. The hardest part is ensuring as they probe what your business is all about, that their excitement is maintained or even builds through their due diligence.

We work with our clients in various ways including helping them conduct a due diligence dress rehearsal. We do this at least 2 years prior to their starting the exit process. This way any issues identified can be corrected and results can be realized from the improvement before the selling process gets underway.

At Yosemite Associates, we use a variety of tools, including our on-line suite of business diagnostics to help our clients build the value, or worth of their company. Our latest diagnostic, Probe, is now available for all to benefit from so you can conduct your own confidential due diligence dress rehearsal and be ready one day to maintain acquirer excitement as they consider buying your business. (Click here for Probe)
