Signing a Letter of Intent feels like the finish line. It isn’t. It’s the starting gun for the phase of a sale where most of the real work, and most of the risk, actually happens. Due diligence is the buyer’s formal investigation of your business: a systematic effort to verify that everything you and your broker represented is true, documented, and defensible.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sellers who understand what’s coming and prepare for it move through this phase in weeks. Sellers who don’t spend those same weeks scrambling \u2014 and give buyers every reason to renegotiate price or walk away entirely.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Due diligence isn’t buyers being difficult. It’s buyers (and, in most deals, their lenders) confirming that the story told in your financials and your CIM holds up under scrutiny. Every number, every contract, every claim about how the business runs gets checked against the underlying paper trail.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

That means the burden of proof shifts. During marketing, you were telling your story. During diligence, buyers are testing it \u2014 and any gap between what was said and what the documents show becomes a negotiating point, or worse, a reason to walk.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
