Pre-exit housekeeping: the eighteen months that decide what you keep
Value is lost at exit in diligence, not in negotiation. This guide sets out what to fix eighteen months before a sale — cap table, IP ownership, intercompany agreements, residence and tax position — and which of those changes stop being available once a buyer is in the room.
Why founders lose value twelve months before a sale — not at the sale
A seven-, eight- or nine-figure exit is not decided at the term sheet. It is decided in the twelve to eighteen months of quiet structuring work before the buyer ever sees a data room. Founders who wait until an LOI to think about holding companies, IP location and personal residency consistently leave value on the table. Here is what changes if you start early.
Every insight starts as a real client file.
