Milestone 6 of 13 Sell your business

Prepare for the buyer's due diligence

Put your documents in a data room so the buyer's checks keep moving.

The buyer will investigate the business. Set up a data room, or a well-organised shared folder, so you control who sees what. Most delays come from missing documents or problems found late, and anything you know is wrong is better disclosed now than found by the buyer.
