Buying a business is a risky proposition. The buyer is attempting to examine and access all of the risk factors to determine how much to pay, what deal structure to propose, and even whether or not to even make an offer. What if I lose a key customer, employee, or supplier? What if our technology is surpassed by a new, lower-cost solution? What happens if a big company decides to enter our niche? These are just a few of the concerns that make buyers less generous in their offer price and terms.
If your financials are questionable, that may be the deciding factor that diminishes your selling price or even blows up the deal.
Audited financials are the best to put a buyer's mind at ease
