sell-Side due diligence

for business brokers

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

There are no sure things with buying and selling businesses. Experienced business brokers know that every deal has the potential to derail at any point – 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 you with an understanding of your client’s adjusted SDE, EBITDA and how to cast them in the best light. This will help you qualify prospects, target the right types of buyers, attract the best offer, and close more deals.
