You’ve heard us talk about due diligence before, but the fact is, the better your accounting practices and bookkeeping are in the first place, the easier it will be in the long run when it’s time to begin the sales process. Buyers of small and mid-market businesses are more savvy these days, and they know the signs of a company that is in distress versus one that is succeeding, well-managed and built for the future.
