How to Prepare Your Business for M&A
Even if you're not ready to sell today, there are strategic steps you can take on your own to prepare to sell your business, including:
- Organize and modernize your financial records.
Clean, accurate financials increase trust and lower buyer risk. Organizing statements, tax returns, and bookkeeping not only enhances valuation but also speeds up the due diligence process. - Document key processes and operating procedures.
Buyers pay more for businesses that are easy to manage or scale. Documenting workflows, vendor lists, employee responsibilities, and SOPs makes the business more turnkey and increases buyer interest. - Reduce owner dependency by delegating responsibilities.
Businesses that rely heavily on the owner are harder to sell. Creating a management structure—formal or informal—shows buyers the company can thrive without its current owner. - Address outstanding legal, tax, or compliance issues.
Small unresolved issues can become major deal breakers. Proactively resolving them reduces due diligence risks and results in smoother negotiations. - Invest in small operational improvements.
Streamlined processes, technology upgrades, or updated branding can significantly improve perceived value to buyers and investors.
Navigating Insurance Aspects of M&A Transactions
M&A deals often include insurance considerations such as:
- Representations & Warranties Insurance
Protects both buyers and sellers from financial loss due to inaccuracies in business representations. - Errors & Omissions Policies
Ensures professional services provided pre-sale are backed by protection.
Exit Strategies helps clients understand coverage options, prepare necessary documentation, and work directly with insurance professionals to reduce transaction risk and liability.
Environmental and Health Considerations in M&A
Environmental compliance is critical during due diligence—particularly in industries involving manufacturing, chemicals, waste management, or food production. These issues can affect valuation and buyer confidence.
