How to Prepare Before You List
01
Recast Your Financials
Prepare three years of clean financials and tax returns. Recast your P&L to show true Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Owner salary, benefits and one-time expenses added back.
02
Clean Up Inventory
Liquidate slow-moving stock and produce an accurate, dated inventory count buyers can verify.
03
Review Your Lease
Negotiate an extension or option before listing. Most buyers and lenders require at least five years of term.
