The due diligence process is often where management teams have the most visible impact on a transaction.

Preparing for Sale Due Diligence is a critical stage in the process.

Management teams are often deeply involved in financial, legal and commercial due diligence.

Awareness, responsiveness and promptness during this stage can form a strong impression on potential buyers and help maintain momentum.

Undertaking preparatory due diligence early can help identify and address issues before a transaction begins.

The right management team is therefore vital.

For many buyers, continuity of leadership after completion is a central part of deal confidence.

Management’s role post exit is a key focus for buyers.

Buyers tend to be more confident when continuity from senior management is available post transaction.

There are relatively few deals where a new management team is parachuted in on day one, so continuity is critical.

A buyer will often use a combination of restrictive covenants and incentives to retain the management team post deal.

Advanced conversations around incentives, future roles and expectations can help minimise disruption.

Early-stage planning can make a material difference to how smoothly a sale process progresses.

Building the Team is often the first step in preparing for a sale.

Putting your management team in place early can support the due diligence process and act as a key ingredient to a purchaser’s appetite for a deal.

Timing is critical, it can take time for a management team to bed in and understand the business, so early preparation is essential.

We often see owner-managed businesses approaching an exit when they are the only managers in place, which can impact timing and success of a transaction.

Addressing this early in the preparation process is key.
