Buyers commonly request three years of tax returns and profit-and-loss statements, current year-to-date results, balance sheets, bank support and documentation for proposed add-backs. Requirements vary by transaction.
Avoid unusual personal expenses, undocumented cash activity, abrupt staffing changes, neglected equipment, short lease terms and premature disclosure to employees or customers. Discuss material decisions with advisers before going to market.
Document daily procedures, delegate customer and vendor relationships, develop management depth, cross-train employees and establish reporting controls. Buyers pay close attention to whether earnings can transfer without the seller's daily involvement.
