What the CFO delivers · M&A
How do I get this company ready to be bought, and hold the price?
The company made buyable long before a buyer asks, then the deal run from the inside.
What gets built.
- The equity story, the model behind it, and the numbers a buyer can test without breaking them
- Diligence prepared in advance: contracts, cohorts, margins, IP and data all traceable to source
- The negotiation itself, sat in as principal rather than briefed from the sidelines
The price you agreed is the price that survives the process.

Questions people ask about m&a.
When should I start getting the company ready to sell?
Long before you want to sell. The work that holds a price is contracts, cohorts, margins and IP that a buyer can trace to source, and that takes months to tidy, not weeks. Starting when the buyer calls is how the price moves against you.
Do I need a banker as well?
Often yes, for the process and the introductions. What a banker does not do is own your numbers in the room. That is the CFO seat, and it is the one that answers when diligence starts pulling threads.
