Go to market with documentation, a valuation, and a clear story to tell buyers.
It varies significantly depending on the business and the complexity of the transaction, but most advisers recommend starting the exit preparation process 12–24 months before your target exit date. The earlier you start, the more control you have over timing, price, and terms.
A data room is a secure, organised collection of all the documents a buyer will need during their due diligence process — financials, contracts, IP ownership, employee records, and more. Having a well-organised data room ready before a buyer requests it signals professionalism and speeds up the sale process significantly. Buyers who encounter a well-prepared data room are more confident in what they’re buying — and less likely to renegotiate on price.
No — but many owners work through the toolkit alongside their adviser. Emanda is designed to be used with or without a professional adviser. If you don’t have one, we can connect you with the right people.
