Preparing for Diligence While Still Running the Business
The preparation that damages a company is the preparation that stops it growing. Sequencing prevents that.
A transaction process consumes founder attention exactly when the business must keep performing, because the buyer is underwriting current-period results.
Sequencing that protects the business
- Do documentation and evidence work two to three quarters ahead
- Assign a single internal owner for the data room
- Cap the engineering time diverted to remediation per sprint
- Keep the roadmap visibly moving throughout the process
A target whose growth stalls during diligence hands the buyer a second argument on price, independent of any technical finding.
