Most founders find out their business isn’t diligence-ready during diligence — the worst possible time. A handful of patterns show up again and again in businesses that go to market before they’re ready.
Revenue concentration in a small number of clients. Financials that require explanation rather than standing on their own. Key knowledge living in one person’s head instead of documented systems. Contracts that were never formalized. And margin that looks fine until someone asks why it varies month to month.
None of these are fatal on their own. Found during your own review, six months out, each is a fixable weekend project. Found by a buyer’s diligence team, each becomes a renegotiation of price.
