Why businesses use
ExitDiligence
Most small business owners only go through a sale once. Buyers and their advisors do it hundreds of times. ExitDiligence closes that experience gap — giving founders the same preparation framework that institutional investors use.
Built on real DD frameworks
Our questionnaire mirrors the due diligence process used by private equity firms and corporate acquirers — not a generic business health check.
Know your valuation risks
Buyers will find issues and deduct from their offer. We find them first and give you the chance to fix or explain them on your own terms.
Connect with the right advisors
Once you know where you stand, we can introduce you to vetted M&A advisors who specialise in businesses your size.

What our clients say
I'd been thinking about selling for two years but had no idea what buyers would actually scrutinise. ExitDiligence flagged three issues I hadn't even considered — and I fixed them before going to market. The process ran much smoother as a result.
The report reads like something a top-tier advisory firm would produce. For £99 I got a clear picture of where we stood and a prioritised list of things to fix. Worth every penny — and then some — when you consider what a price chip on a £2M deal looks like.
I've sold two businesses in my career. I wish ExitDiligence had existed the first time. The framework is exactly what I've seen from PE buyers on the other side of the table — just made accessible to the seller.
