At DBG Advisors, we know that deciding to sell your business is a big moment—but being truly ready is another matter. Most owners are surprised to learn how much preparation it takes to sell on favorable terms.
That’s why we’ve developed our Ready to Sell Discussion Process: a practical, proven way to assess where you are, determine your company’s true value, and make confident decisions about the steps you need to take to secure your future.
What’s Involved in the Ready to Sell Discussion?
We start by looking at five critical areas of your company: financials, systems and processes, your team, your customer mix, and your personal readiness.
- Are your books clean and understandable?
- Can the company operate without you?
- Is your revenue spread across enough clients to reduce risk?
These questions form the foundation of a sale that attracts strong buyers and protects your company’s value.

Know Your Value Before You Go to Market
One of the most important tools in this process is determining a defendable, data-driven valuation.

At DBG Advisors, we go far beyond tax returns. We recast your financials, project future growth, research comparable industry sales, and diagnose hidden risks—then we help you solve them before they become a problem during negotiations.
Knowing your value, and having a defendable sales price, is the first step to selling on your terms.

Explore All Your Options—Before You Make a Move
You don’t have to be ready to list tomorrow to benefit from this process. In fact, many of our clients come to us because they want to understand what’s possible first.
Watch this video to learn more about how we guide you through the entire process.
We talk through your personal goals, desired timeline, and what kind of buyer you’d like to see take over—family, employees, private equity, or another company. Then we build a plan to help you get there.
A Clear Path Forward, No Matter Where You Start
Whether you decide to maintain the status quo, build up your company before you start the sales process, or go to market now, the Ready to Sell Discovery Process gives you clarity.
