For professional advisersThe method
Eight areas, each with a question worth asking. Explore what a buyer may look for and the evidence that helps.
What still depends on you?
Do the numbers stand up?
Can the premises pass on?
Will the team stay?
Can someone else run it?
Where is revenue concentrated?
Are the obligations in order?
Is the opportunity credible?
The evidence behind each area matters more than a total score.
