Would a buyer see a broad customer base—or too few customers? The number and type of customers your business serves can affect the stability of your revenue.
A company with many customers who return regularly presents a very different picture than a company relying on a small number of customers or constantly having to find new ones.
What does your customer base say about your business? Find out with the IBA Business Sellability Assessment: zurl.co/2O6mi

Some of the most valuable advantages in a business aren't obvious from the outside. This custom hardwood manufacturer doesn't simply fabricate its products — it also custom-blends its own finishes.
That proprietary know-how provides another point of differentiation and may offer intellectual-property potential for a future owner.
Combine specialized finishing expertise with more than a century of woodworking knowledge, vertically integrated production and a seasoned team, and you have capabilities that aren't easily duplicated.

Do you know where your business is headed financially—or does each month's result come as a surprise?
Knowing your sales and profits is important. Understanding the trends behind your sales, costs, profits, and cash flow can give you a much clearer picture of the health and direction of your business.
And when it's time to sell, a potential buyer always seeks to understand those trends.

Growth may not require starting with a bigger building. This established hardwood manufacturer currently operates just one shift, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
That creates an intriguing opportunity for a new owner: additional production capacity may be available through extended hours or a second shift without immediately requiring a major facility expansion.
Combine that capacity with new sales, marketing, e-commerce and geographic expansion initiatives, and the growth possibilities become especially compelling.

You’ve spent years building your business. But have you ever wondered how attractive it might be to a potential buyer?
A strong business isn’t defined by revenue alone. Buyers may also consider your financial performance, customer base, systems and processes, competitive advantages, key dependencies—and even how much the business relies on you.
The IBA Business Sellability Assessment is designed to help you take a closer look at these important areas and identify potential strengths and opportunities for improvement.

Sometimes the value isn't just in the software. It's in everything that has already been built around it.
Included in this asset sale are nearly 900 dynamic PDF reports and assessment materials supporting the assessment platforms.
Developing that depth of content, documentation, reporting and supporting material internally could require substantial time and resources. Here, that library is part of the acquisition.

AI Is Coming to M&A Due Diligence. Is Your Company Ready?
The tools buyers use to evaluate businesses are changing.
73 Strings recently acquired Callisto, a private-markets technology company whose AI capabilities automate workflows involving due diligence, data-room analysis, financial documents, complex Excel files and due-diligence questionnaires.
For business owners considering a future sale, the takeaway is important:
AI won’t hide messy records. It may help the buyer find them faster.
As AI becomes more integrated into M&A and private-market workflows, buyers and their advisors may be able to review and analyze large volumes of information more efficiently, including:
• Financial records and spreadsheets
• Contracts and agreements
• Data-room documents
• Due-diligence questionnaires
• Operational and historical business data
That makes pre-sale preparation even more important. Inconsistent financials, missing documentation, unusual transactions, poorly organized contracts or unexplained discrepancies may become easier to identify as diligence technology improves.
The best time to clean up those issues isn’t after a buyer starts asking questions. It’s before your business goes to market.
Preparing early gives you time to organize your records, address potential concerns and present a clearer picture of the business you’ve built.
Thinking about selling in the next few years? IBA can help you identify areas to address now so you’re better prepared when diligence begins.
