sell-Side due diligence

for business brokers

Get a clear financial picture to qualify prospects and close more deals

Experienced business brokers know that every deal has the potential to derail – especially if the financial picture of your client is cloudy.

There should be no surprises with sell-side due diligence, which is why Wise Consulting provides a deep understanding of your client’s adjusted SDE, EBITDA and how to help cast them in the proper light.

We enhance the quality of your prospect, which then allows you to move with confidence targeting the right types of buyers.

At the end of the day, when the deal closes, we want to help ensure that you and your client get the most value from the sale.
