What is really happening?
Exit readiness is won before the process. The company needs a buyer-ready operating record, not just a growth story. Every unresolved operating dependency becomes a discount, escrow issue, earnout argument, or diligence delay.
TRIGGER
Use this 12 to 18 months before an exit when the company still has diligence gaps that buyers will price into the multiple.
