Most business owners appoint advisors a few months ahead of selling a business, yet they typically focus on M&A process management and not on creating and maximising pre-exit value. Ignoring the ways to add value to the company before sale could cost you in the long-run. To unlock value, a business owner must start preparing several months ahead of launching the formal sale process. Yet this timescale is not compatible with the business model of most corporate finance advisors.
