Most business owners discover what buyers will find in diligence only after they've signed an LOI. By then it's too late to fix it. SellerDiligence finds the gaps first — scores them, prioritizes them, and gives you a prioritized fix roadmap.
SellerDiligence measures your readiness the way a buyer will — first through your own answers (the Exit Readiness Assessment), then verified against your documentation (Exit Readiness Validation). You get a clear view of where you stand, how buyers will discount what they find, and a prioritized gameplan to fix what's holding your value back before you go to market.
Buyers spend weeks in diligence uncovering gaps you didn't know existed — then use every one to renegotiate the price. By then you have no leverage.
Most owners learn about their valuation gaps after accepting an offer. The time to fix them is 90 days before you go to market — not 90 days after.
Your broker's job is to find a qualified buyer. Nobody is helping you prepare your business to survive what that buyer's advisor will find.
Takes about 15 minutes. Tell us about your business — operations, revenue, team, technology, and documentation.
Our AI scores your business across 8 domains against what buyers actually examine in due diligence — the same framework buyers' advisors use.
Within 48 hours, receive a detailed report with your scores, findings, and a prioritized fix list ranked by impact on your sale price.
Work through the recommendations yourself, or engage Layer8 for hands-on support. Either way, you go to market prepared.
